nobody got this year's starting lineup perfectly - I got four out of five though and that's with a whole bunch of new starters. Mike's point is that next year's team looks to have a bunch of returning players on it - a bunch.
Look, I bet everyone of us could identify 8 players on this squad who will be back. But could you identify one or two, you think? I bet you could, Then 3? 5? 7?
Looking ahead is part of the fun of being a fan and as difficult as the last two seasons have been I expect next year will be one of the easiest to identify at least eight primary contributors for next year. And I think Mike makes a very valid point in his post. With this year's super seniors as well as seniors, a whole lot of teams will be facing next year the sort of challenge we have faced the last couple years. And we most likely will not.
Burries could help - Perry certainly as a returner to respond to the other post in this thread. I still believe a really big body would help as well assuming at least one player with remaining eligibility doesn't return as well creating an additional opening.
