Who has the solution as to how this team will be any better next year? Sure we will have more bodies, but I don't see any of the incoming guys being Big East ready as Freshmen. Not to mention, there is no replacing "Superman". This question can't possibly be answered. We have no idea what the roster will look like. Recent history has shown that you take the total number of scholarship players and multiply by 70%. Which 30% falls out? No idea. I will say this however, I really don't care how good or bad we are next year as long as we have a reasonably complete roster. Ya know, more than a guard or two, a few wings, a couple of PF's, a couple of 5's etc.... No idea how or if that happens but if we have 12/13 players, a rotation of 8/10 and at least three guys who handle the ball out top then I'm good.

Bentil hitting 3s.....fortune as our catch and shoot option?... Long long year ahead if that's where we're banking our bucks...

Is it time to give up the thought that Fortune should be any type of shooter? He shot 29% from three last year and is at 32% from three this year. That's not a good option as an outside shooter, catch and shoot or otherwise.
Until proven otherwise Fortune is not a good shooter and he shouldn't be called a shooter any more than Vincent Council was (Council was a career 31% shooter from three).

I agree draif, at this point it would still be good if he shoots more so Cotton can rest his right arm a little. We need a pitching coach on the bench.

Fortune needs to take at least 10 shots per game whether he makes them or not.

Fortune needs to take at least 10 shots per game whether he makes them or not. I think I'd rather have Cotton take an additional 10 fade-away threes. Better odds than 10 shots from Fortune.
