No experience being the guys who are relied upon. 2/3 of the scoring will be gone. Will be interesting.

Maybe, but he won't be better in 2020 than Harper was in 2019. Clearly zero chance of that.

Auburn went 11 deep, especially during the tournament. The scoring was designed to have Harper and Brown do the scoring, but Purifoy and Wiley were considered to be the two best NBA Prospects before the Pearson issues. Both came on late in the season despite not being part of Bruce's plan. The scoring will come and actually the Defense will be better. Bruce recruits to his system, not to magazines. If Okeke comes back to form by next March, AU can make another deep run.

No one expects back to back final four runs. It's rare for programs even like Duke/UNC/Kansas/Kentucky. Calapari's last final four was in 2015.

We'll probably take a step down next year and rebuild with the studs coming in 2020 and this 2019 class growing into sophomores. But realistically who knows. We've got 5 freshmen coming in and a solid three point specialist transfer from memphis (Jamal Johnson). One of the freshman is a blue chip (Isaac Okoro). Okeke will be back at some point as well.

This is college basketball where the competition is absolutely brutal. Unlike football where you can lose your biggest game of the year and not win your division but still make a title game or playoff.

To even get to a final four you're going to have to beat a few top seeded teams back to back to back.
