Yeah, I'm not to worried about having talent, but the makeup of MSU's roster has much to be determined yet. I would think Black, Patterson, Haney, Clay , and probably Sharp would all be back. Sharp was a major loss for this years team via injury. Then we've had 3 prep players who've basically not played/rs the past two years that are real mysteries at this point in 6'5 Skylar Wicks, 6'5 Raphe Ayres, and 6'7 Melvyn Ebonkoli. We have the two post players in 6'10 Tata, and 7'0 Carpers as possibles, with Carper's having given some decent sub minutes the latter half of this year, but neither projects as the likely starter and I doubt Tata's return.
Then we have 3 frosh signed[ Hampton/Dunn/Benson], and I really like all 3 . All 3 are between 6'6 and 6'8 and each has a little different skill set/profile. Benson should get pt immediately in the post , and Dunn is a high motor , physical forward, while Hampton more a 3/2 wing type. While it's a full roster presently, I expect some churn and at least another add or two.
We'll have veteran guards and a long, athletic frontcourt either way, so I don't see as big a drop as might be expected losing Prim and possibly Mosley. Top 3-4 I doubt [ if Mosley is gone] but I can see us in the 4-7 range w/o.
