New additions vs those leaving

[Rockytop10nessee]

With Okpara and Estrella on the roster where do you see a ton of playing time coming from?

Okpara is a great rim protector, but Awaka is the better scorer and rebounder (by a long shot). Hopefully Okpara can make a sophomore to junior jumó the same way Aidoo did.

My take will be very unpopular with many on this board, but the only player I hated seeing leave was Knecht. Appreciate all Vescovi, JJJ and Aidoo brought...when they came to play...but I'm glad they've moved on. This roster needed fresh blood.

We just finished the (tied for) best season in program history. Im excited about newcomers but I can’t understand “glad they moved on” under the circumstances. Maybe you’re only considering offense, but we don’t make the elite 8 without the defense those 3 brought to the court. I’d take any of them back if we could.

Awaka is also the much better fouler (by a long shot).

Man, I can't help but like any and every post you make with that avi. My favorite on this board. Know I'm not supposed to covet, but....

I'm just the opposite. I wouldn't take any of them back....except Knecht. Again, for better or worse, I'm ready to see new faces on the floor for UT.

Man, don't do it! You'll regret letting her go.

I can understand why you might want other players, but why a "need for fresh blood" ? What about this past team that makes it necessary?

Nothing.. it was a silly comment from a basketball casual.
