Agree with this. The long leash everyone's ready to give Manning is commendable, but we return 4 of our top 6 scorers. Losing McKie for a McClinton/Cav combo should be pretty close to a wash. Devin is a solid player and should benefit from Manning as a big man specialist. Sure, losing Coron hurts with no shooter ready to replace him, but he was pretty limited defensively. Even if we're stuck with just the Codi/Overton/Shelton group with the majority of guard minutes, you'd expect Overton to improve on this year's 33% mark from deep. Starting with the Duke game he shot 40% from deep to close out last year, small sample size obviously.
This isn't a team that's years away from being good, it's a team that's one player and some excellent coaching away from being good. Then again, it's also a Devin injury away from having no legitimate big men. There are plenty of ways to deal with the bloated class, which is Manning's job now.
The expectation for Wake should be the NCAA tournament, and next year we'll probably fall short and be an NIT-type year. We should absolutely be a tourney team during Codi/Devin's senior year, and year 3 is enough time for a good coach to rectify the class overload. It's not like he's inheriting 7 bad seniors, and there's a huge talent pool for 2016.
