But don’t discount how good the 2013-14 Elite Eight squad was. We had a lot of size and skill on that team too. Scott & Robinson were 6’9” and skilled, I think Kavanaugh was 6’9” as well and Alex G didn’t play much but was also in that range. Devin Oliver was 6’7” I think, Pierre 6’5”ish, Vee Sanford and Jordan Sibert were really good, Khari Price was solid, and we had three freshmen on that team who ended up being the winningest class ever at Dayton. So I’m excited about the talent level on next year’s team, but that squad had 6 fringe NBA guys on it, and Scott, Robinson, and Vee are all still playing professionally.
Anyway, we will see with our current roster, and I’m extremely optimistic about the future for our program, but man, don’t forget how good that 13-14 team really was.

No doubt, it looks like Grant is filling in the blanks. And you are so right, the 13-14 squad was loaded. They had talent at every position and 2-3 deep. It will be interesting to see where guys like Landers and Mikesell fit in in 19-20 season. The future roster seems to be getting rather competitive and deep with both size and skilled talent.
