We have two guys off the bench who didn't play last year( Cylla and Elmore), two transfers who can play immediately, and two freshman on the roster next year. We haven't seen any of them on the court against CAA talent. That's six players we really don't know much about, several of whom we are counting on to have an immediate impact and/or start.

At least we have the positions filled where we needed help, but i'm not ready to make any declarations about their abilities or how we'll play. We'll see.

I agree. So much weight is on the PG position at any level and we haven’t seen either guy play. The existing roster needs to improve in the off season with the exception of Cacok. I’m less certain about next year than I was last year. At least Talley was a known commodity. We haven’t seen Cylla or Elmore play anything other than meaningless minutes. Don’t know how you can say the talent is there to contend for a title. I’ll wait and see next fall.

That being said, I like the guards and wings in this class. Particularly the wing out of Charlotte. I’m assuming the Juco PG is ready to start day 1. The German big man is still a project.
