Saying good bye to X does not make the Flyers a better team next year than this year. He was not playing let alone starting and the Flyers lose a senior who is expected to be replaced by an incoming freshman.
There is a lot of man love for Landers on this board but if he is starting in the role he played this year the team will not be any better than this year and perhaps worse. You have to like his hustle but a power forward he is not. He could play the three spot but that is not ideal for the team or he could play the 2 spot but then who sits Jordan Davis or the new freshman savior? My own opinion is that Trey is a born sixth man who comes in and plays a variety of positions, gets as much time or more on the court as any of the starters but he should not be a starter.
This team needs a makeover in the front court. Maybe Mikesell is not the answer but the status quo is definitely a recipe for failure.
