What’s really interesting, is you can kind of see the make up of a pretty good team next year. Not to get the cart ahead of the horse but… Sandfort, Essegian, Garcia, Uggy, Berke, Frager, Jacobsen, Curtis and Blue. Then there’s Lanier and the kid from Cockeye that looks pretty good. I think you bring a veteran point guard and a veteran big and that’s a pretty damn good pool of talent to find a top 6.

Not saying we’ll be better than this year, hard to be better than 19-0 at this point in the season. But we could be pretty darn good next year.

Blue should be gone. Senior I believe.

Blue and Garcia are both done after this year.

Biggest need is probably replacements for Lawrence and Hoiberg assuming Uggy ends up medically redshirting

Didn’t realize Garcia was a senior, bummer. Seems like he keeps getting better the more time he gets on the court.

Sam has upped his game considerably this year

Yeah. Not that he wasn't good last year, but he's one of the best players in the conference this year

Yup, not a huge loss though. Should maybe take 2 guards from the portal, I think, unless you’re convinced Lanier is the truth. And hit on a veteran big. That’s pretty good and versatile roster to find a top 6.

I would love to be in the meetings where Fred and the staff discuss who they are going after in the portal for next year

Sam H will be easy to replace

You would think they could get the ear of some really good players if this run continues deep into March. 🔥

My Eagle Scout project back in the day was collecting, restoring and donating sports equipment to underprivileged kids. This could have been me on this team

That’s crazy… mine was buying restored sports equipment from Africa for pennies on the dollar, then reselling them on eBay. Small world.

From the little I’ve seen of him, Uggy could be a big boost to next year’s team. Unfortunately, his back condition appears to be chronic and there’s no guarantee that he will be healthier next year than he is this year.

I think it's worth pursuing a medical hardship, but yeah I also wouldn't plan on him being a big part of the rotation. Great bonus if he can be

Get the Washington freshman in the portal.

Get the Washington freshman in the portal.

He doesn't shoot the 3 like he did against us. But, yes.
