Yes I realize the dead body isn't even cold yet, but let's do this.
Guards guards guards!! Our depth is crap at guard and has to improve. Gordon and Hefner being in your first permitter guys off the bench doesn't cut it.
I'm basing this on Radford will be back.
1. Replace Dexter Dennis. I could be proven wrong, but I don't think his replacement is on this team right now. So need to go to the portal to find his replacement.
2. Upgrade over Gordon. I'm not saying Gordon should be gone, just saying we need better players so he isn't your 1st or 2nd guard off the bench. He's maybe a 10th man at best on a team that would want to make a final four run. I assume a healthy Manny is ahead of him next year, but they need somebody else. Maybe it's Bryce Lindsay. But I think even if Bryce is ready to contribute, they need at least two portal guards/wings.
3. Upgrade over Hefner. Same as Gordon, not saying he has to go, but he needs to be bumped way down the roster.
4. Coleman needs to gain some explosiveness. Need to develop a consistent jumper from 8-10 feet. He has to be more consistent with his play.
5. I think we have some nice post players in Marble, Coleman, Garcia and Solo. I expect Garcia and Solo to show improvement. I wouldn't mind adding a long shot blocker and rim runner. Perimeter players is much bigger need though.
