Honestly, simply getting a new and exciting coach would change my outlook, cause I'm on the fence, but there are some parts. I like what I think Diarra can bring to the table, possibly taking the point, but we still won't really have a point guard. Still somewhat like the rotation we can use at the guard spots. Sneed will need to step up. Wade and Maurice could be alright, but I think I'd like to see a grad transfer big come in, maybe a JUCO.
If you get a decent JUCO big, you're looking at a rotation without a single senior. New coach that instills a different culture/attitude and makes strides, and 2018-19 could be fun? If it's oscar, I see this team maybe being on the bubble of the NIT. Another NCAA tourney/bubbliesh team the year after. Who knows, tho.
