I'd think the 3-6 range is fair, 3 is best case scenario. 6 is probably worst case scenario.

The depth is nice, but also concerning. It's hard to actually go 10 deep and very rare for teams to give serious minutes to that many guys. It's potentially problematic as your best players start to question why they spend so much time on the bench. Or the bench guys question why they aren't getting more minutes.

I hope Wes is prepared for it and has prepared the guys for it. I'm willing to bet that there are one or two players who came in expecting to play big minutes and are instead going to be bench warmers (my guess is Koval and Ody).
Not too worried about Koval as he is SR but yes Ody did not come from playing 50% of minutes at Wake to ride pine here. And because of the problem you mentioned with going 10 deep+ I could see a couple of portal guys after the year. Especially with some of the recruits coming in. And if we get more recruits like them I don't mind some minor portal action.

But Wes is a seller and motivator so who knows if anyone will leave. Wes selling rags to riches because of personal history should inspire players not to give up but rather to give more and try harder.
