I'm thinking more offense but less defense. I'm undecided about the ultimate outcome, will we be better off or the same?

replacing Barry as well. We will miss Swat, but we're replacing him with a guy that may end up being a year and go pro guy.
I'm afraid that we are going to replace Barry with Riley Benock. And THAT scares the heck out of me.
I'm scared he'll start Benock as well, that might be my worst fear.
Hopefully Shaun Smith will be healthy, he looks a lot more talented than Stewart in his videos. He looks like a shorter version of Kennedy Winston, really smooth with a good stroke.
I honestly think we'll be better overall next year, but it'll come down to not losing to teams we're supposed to beat

JV averages about 13 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks. I don't know what to expect from Sidney... maybe 15 - 18ppg, 10 rebounds, 2.5 blocks?? Like you said, more offense but no where near the same defense. He'll be a big body that can defend, but Jarvis had a huge affect on offensive game plans. I mean, people know he's the best shot blocker and try to plan around it but he still averaged almost 5 blocks. So I think Sidney may average 4-6 more ppg, but Jarvis probably prevents at least that many points from being scored every game.
But overall, I think we improve. I think not making the tournament has a better effect on the returning players than if we had made it.... and no, I don't mean because we get to play in the NIT. This is the first tournament our juniors have missed. Hopefully they learn we can't afford to lose to WKU, Rider, Richmond - heck even Ark, Bama, Auburn. We've got to be a solid top 20 team all year so that it really doesn't matter how we play down the stretch. We don't need to rely on "win & your in" type games. I'm hoping both players and coaches have a different attitude next year and come out every game with a killer instinct. Sure, we're going to have a few flat games but we can't have a season full of them like this year.

but I have trouble picturing him being dominant after watching him blow up from eating what I can only assume was a large human or a small sized cow. I'm sure he'll be good, but I'm skeptical of anybody that puts on that much weight when they are "working out."
Sidney will have his body ready for next year. He's the type of guy that can shed 20 lbs in about a month, but he can also blow up pretty fast. The coaches did not have enough time to work out with him and work out with the other guys as well. You are limited to a certain number of practice hours per day and week and they couldn't go over. Plus, Stansbury said many times that Sidney was on a roller coaster emotionally because one day he thought he was cleared and he was on a high just to find out that he wasn't cleared.
We're in trouble. He doesn't have the offensive skills to play the 2. Maybe ravern can play the 2 and phil the 3, with phil guarding the other team's 2.
We need juco guy or shaun smith to be a player. And dee needs to play 38 min/gm. Unless tony beckman really improves his game during his year off.
