that it's probably the expectation of UCLA that he do so honestly as well.
Having said that, and also liking the caliber of players he brought in through the portal, there's part of me that kind of wishes that he had brought everyone back (and that would have been ten with Nwuba and Bona leaving), brought in Freeny, and added two more from the portal (probably William Kyle to replace Bona and Dominick Harris to provide 3 point shooting, although there are plenty of viable and possible combinations of scenarios possible).
As good as the players are who he brought in and how pleased I am with the depth, experience, and versatility the Bruins now have, I still would have liked to see how the guys he brought in last year developed together and individually.
I have no problem with what he decided to do and I would have had no problem if he had decided to go the other way. I just think that bringing everyone back would have been "old school" and I would have kind of liked that. Either way, go Bruins!
