Does anyone have confidence in the front line we are going to have next year after Clark and Washington graduate? I really don’t see much offensive skill in the players we currently have on the roster.

With all that said, neither seem suited for our half court offense we run. Brooks is at least somewhat capable offensively but I think he needs to get the ball real low and high to finish. Neither seem to possess low post moves or seem big enough and willing to body up down low. Nsoseme is raw. I like his instincts and he has a nose for the ball rebounding and is tough at least. Again, not sure what he offers offensively, but he has finished some around the rim. Diarra I really haven't seen much to say he's going to be a regular, relied upon player. Hope I'm wrong. He looks awkward and loves chucking up shots, not a good combination. So I'd say Brooks and Scott might not be as bad a combo as we've had in past years and with dynamic scorers like Broome, Evans (if he returns) and Cumberland and maybe even a more mature Williams and outside threat Moore we won't need to rely on them as much, but I can all but guarantee we'll run the same offense next year and attempt to utilize them in screens and getting them the ball ten feet out and expecting them to make a move or pass out, so I'd say we take a serious downgrade in our offense next year. Hopefully Mick is smart enough to not expect them to be players they're not and let the guards and wings do more slashing next year. I don't think it's doom and gloom next year but I also don't see our bigs lighting anyone up like Clark or Washington can do any given night and do more often than not.

Not much confidence in the guys we have now to step up next year. It's definitely an area of concern for me.

Hopefully Cronin can pull a big out of his hat that can score down low. Tevian Jones would be a good get, but more to replace Evans at the SF position. I trust Cronin to figure it out or to play 4 guards next year with Ellie at the 5. Really like what I see from him.

Saw an offer to Frank Policelli was made. Good looking 6'7 lefthander. Looked like Sarvino was watching him at a recent game.

Watching Temple. Brooks and Scott have no clue what to do with the ball when they get it. Horrific!

and Jennifer is a liability on both ends of the floor. Doesn't even need to be guarded on offense.
