Well, moving on, in order for us to be better next year, let's add up the tangibles:
1. We need Sarr to be better than Moore. It's not crazy to think he could make the leap, and he will certainly be different, but the odds of him giving us Moore's production are slim to none. Having Sarr at Center instead of Moore will definitely open up the floor and allow our substantially more athletic team to slash more.
2. We need Crawford to A: Come back and B: Play better. I still have faith. At the very least, I don't think he'll get worse.
3. We need Hoard or whoever we bring in to play 4 to be better than TT. That should be easy.
4. We need Chaundee to progress. Given that I have faith Manning can push Sarr to the next level, Chaundee's progression becomes the most important. Unfortunately, Manning has not shown any ability to do this.
5. We need our bench to be better. Not likely given that (aside from Chill, assuming he's 6th man) it will be loaded with unproven tweeners and freshmen.
6. We need better defense. We lose our shot blocker, but given how much man to man we play, our more flexible team could improve.
Our only hope is that a team without Moore opens up the floor for the style Manning has been going for all along. I don't think it's a coincidence that our best offense had a super athletic center that could at least stretch to 15 feet.
