Really optimistic about next year

I really get the feeling he’s not coming back. I don’t have any inside info, but just a hunch. Unlike Harris, he’ll have his degree already and he might just be over playing college basketball.

Let’s say all three (Jonny, Paul, Eric) leave — Devo and Paul both have kids, why wouldn’t they go play ball in Europe to make cash to support their families?? — and it’s not like we’re looking at a team that’s .going to finish at the bottom of the Big East. Far from that. Instead of a team that with those three could contend for the conference title, you’re looking at a middle of the pack squad much like this year. Keep in mind, many other Big East schools are losing key seniors, so the Pitt’s, UConn’s, Marquette’s and Nova’s will come back to the pack a little bit.

SU still has major size down low next year in Rick and AO, a top shooter in Rautins, a supposed solid swing-man in Wes Johnson, not to mention another very good recruiting class. Even without Jonny, Eric, and Paul, it’s a good basketball team (and probably not as selfish and undisciplined)
