If Kilpatrick stays...
...for his senior season, who would you dismiss from the team? My vote goes to Gaines. I just feel like he's provided too little. Of course there have been a few bright spots, but I'd rather give a shot with all 5 soon-to-be freshmen. They all seem to have a lot of talent that I don't want the team to miss out on. Gaines was never supposed to be good, and hasn't been anything special, so if we have better available talent, why keep him around? I understand it can be hard but things happen.

Can we save this thread for the offseason?
We have a national championship contending team. We are not cubs or eggsavior fans. We do not look to next year. This year is always the year |

So by that statement, you're saying we should never talk about recruits either, correct? Since that's technically next year.

I don't get the people who write the "if Killa stays" posts. Where do you think he's going to go? SK is NOT going to the NBA next year. If he spends time working on his game this off-season and comes back next year and has a strong season then maybe he's a late 2nd round pick. He has no ability to create for himself, he can't pass and he plays less than stellar defense. He's not a great athlete, which is what the NBA is all about these days. SK is a very good college basketball player but he doesn't fit the mold of NBA prospect.

I didn't mean it in a sense that he's NBA ready, because I think he's far from it. But I do remember hearing a while back that he's got a kid to support (correct me if I'm wrong) and he wanted to start playing basketball for a paycheck ASAP.

That may be true, I'm sure he'd like to be making money ASAP but the point I'm trying to make is I don't think it's his decision to make. In order to leave for the NBA that means someone has to draft you. There is no way that SK is going to get drafted by an NBA team and I doubt he'd leave early to play in Pakistan or Southern Iraq.

Really tough call on who would be the odd man out. I have no doubt that Cronin and his staff already had a plan in place. Whether it be someone leaving the program, someone paying their own way for a year and becoming a walk on, or having one of the incoming freshmen going the prep route for a year. I have no clue who goes but I am very excited to see Shaq Thomas and Jermaine Lawrence on the floor together next year. Crazy athleticism. Need both to provide some consistent scoring.
