Rebuilding Year?
How can a year when 4 of the starters for almost the entire year this year are returning and the fifth projected starter for next year is a junior coming off a red shirt but who had started a number of games in the prior year be projected as a rebuilding year?
What it is, Is an opportunity to build a bench composed of players the AG believes he can mold into better players than the current projected starters or at least give significant relief to the starters. Given Toppin has been with the program for one year and Cohill is coming in so highly rated AG already has a good start to a Bench. That's a front court and a back court sub. The subs 8 and above should not be considered the saviors of the program, they just need to hold their own should one of the starters or top two subs need a rest. I would expect this to be very seldom if the starters are good. It would or at least should take a special recruit to break into the top seven. They would use next year to learn the AG System and be ready to start in a year or two.
