I think with or without a healthy Williams this team will be better on both sides of the ball.
Hard to say how much but we were really hard to watch last year.
Won enough to make tourney and had a couple really big wins, but were brutal most games for long stretches.
I am looking forward to this year.

I can see this team being a 6 or 7 seed, since Shannon, Hawkins, Dainja, Goode, Rodgers and Harris all return and they won't have the Sky Clark and Jayden Epps drama.  Also like that this is a veteran group with 3 of the transfers being 5th year guys. However, no idea if any of the transfers will be real good.  Am hoping Goode can provide some much needed outside shooting next year.

Sounds about right.
If Williams is healthy and can guard close to how he used to, we could be even better but who knows.
Have not seen anything definitive on his status. If he gets his waiver and gets here there will be info coming out this summer I assume.

Otherwise it is PG by committee. Will get us by but not ideal.

Yes, yes and yes.

During the season, announcers would often try to excuse our poor play with pinning it on the new pieces that haven't learned to play together yet.
Later on, it would be 'that was not a smart possession. That shot is available at any time in a possession.'
Yet a bricked 3 pt shot, 8 seconds into the shot clock from 6 feet beyond the arc, is nothing more than a unforced turnover. And we already had plenty of games with 16-18, or more, turnovers under our belt.
The season finished with 'the players didn't listen to the coaches.'

We shall see what this season brings.

With Shannon and Hawkins back I think we did all right overall in the portal. Epps, Melendez, Mayer, and Lieb for Williams, Harmon, Domask, and Guerrier is a clear upgrade in depth at the back end and seems more fitting for our style of play unless Guerrier wants to launch 3s.

I really don’t really know what to think. I think our floor is probably decently high. A legit PG would certainly bring the ceiling up a fair amount.

I do recall that last year you wanted a veteran PG pickup as insurance against the disaster we had.
I guess we did go after Williams but Iowa State got him.

Have no clue if he will suit up this year but that is one of the plans.
And they are still looking at other guys.

Yeah I was shocked they didn’t bring in a veteran PG of some sort just to steady the ship with the young guys, but probably didn’t want to irk the Clark camp. Lot of good that did.

Glad Curbelo's staying in college, I think it'll be good for him.

At one point it sounded like he was going to go play pro ball in South America.

Judge Judy infamously predicted Curbello would have an HOF NBA career.
