I think it's kind of a complicated question. Even at the 5, I think Keshawn Murphy is way more polished than anything we will see offensively at the 5 next year, BUT we will see much better defense and rebounding there and that's a better fit with the rest of the roster and play style.

Then at the 1 thru 4, maybe guys like SWA and ex-Freeman have more high end potential than the new guys but we have way more in terms of sure things in guys like Dowd, Freeman, Olsen, and even Kimble than we did in SWA, ex-Freeman, Magwood, Jovic. Really not even close.

None of those guys were really scaring anybody on the other team when the ball was in their hands.

Where is LSU on that list? I started reading through the first few schools, and thought "weird, haven't seen LSU yet and they sure do love to pretend to be the SEC's pride and joy!".. but I didn't see them and was wondering where they are on this list?

If Freeman gets back to Sophomore version of himself he should be plenty at the 4. However I have no idea if that's a pipe dream or not.

Probably as good as you could ask for a 3rd guard with a returning Pettiford and Overton. Looks to have some real sauce

He should totally go to Bama

That sucks.

Have we landed an elite recruit, portal or otherwise since NIL became a huge factor? Miles Kelly was somewhat highly thought of I suppose. Getting Broome to come back was a big NIL win. But it seems like we are kind of in a different market.

It's funny because I kind of agree with your point on Pettiford as a PG overall but here are some random Jared Harper games from his 3rd and final season in which he lead us to the final four..

road loss to Ole Miss 1/9/19: 3/14 FG
home loss to Ole Miss 2/13/19: 1/8 FG, 2 assists, 6 TO's
home win over Arky 2/20/19: 3/9 FG

Lol, ok meathead. One of the most famous athletes to ever walk the planet is coming to play at JHS and this is your response...

It's kind of interesting as a thought experiment. I think Off-Ball 'Haad could make enough money just in the next 2 years of college ball to retire off of. PG 'Haad is the only prayer he has at the next level, though. So which path would you choose in his shoes?

I'd probably choose to make 2+ million the next 2 years off-ball, maybe win a championship somewhere, and make money overseas or sell insurance thereafter.
