We are looking at a serious change

Just 7 playable players.

Croning will get 4 to 5 new names. Wonder who will be the next domino to fall.

The "only 1 starter" left line is bugging me.

For one, Dylan Andrews starting next year would drive me to alcoholism. He should have been gone regardless.

Two, Mara was a presumptive starter, and to assume he wasn't would be to suggest Cronin was running his absurd small ball again.

Three, Kobe has not recommitted. He's still outstanding.

So that's two starters on board (Skyy and either Dailey or Bilodeau), by my count, and one backup (Dailey or Bilodeau).

That is... not impressive retention considering all of them had eligibility. We're basically in full rebuild mode.

Dent plugs a hole at PG. Skyy is clearly going to start at 2, maybe Perry improves enough in the offseason to supplant him and push him to 6th man. Kobe has yet to commit. PF is set, one way or the other. I'm assuming Freeny can play backup SG.

That's still two giant holes at SF and C. Then those guys have to mesh with our current players, and all four need to be extremely good defenders.

That's a long shopping list.

Retention is overrated

Take a look at the sweet 16 starting lineups for this year’s tournament.

At some point they showed a graphic of how many starters began their college careers at their present school. A school like Purdue with more than one or two was like a unicorn. All else were vast majority transfers.

Why would you want to bring everyone back anyway? We were clearly outgunned and in need of big changes.

I thought Kobe's college career was done
