If, and yes it's a big if, we can get production from our front court to match Singleton (shouldn't be that hard) and about 70-75% of Tuttle from a combo of Bennett, Friedman and one of the freshman the front court will be top half in the league.
The back court/wing will have Lohaus, Morgan, Bohannon, Jesperson and Washpun all back. The JUCO coming in should be ready from day 1 and there's a chance that the freshman PG coming in takes the role Lohaus had this year. That part will be fine.
75% of Tut shouldn't be hard to get from Bennett, Ted and one of the freshman. That's 12 points 6 boards 2 assists .7 steals .3 blocks. I would imagine that kind of production should be relatively easy to match for them. Tut actually had a better statistical year his JR year than this year. It's the leadership he'll be missed for most.
