Front court is the chronic problem. It leads to double teams on Jenkins,and Hall has no one to convert or catch when he penetrates .
The need to pack it in defensively allows front line of foes to pop out to the perimeter where the were deadly hitting 50% on threes last night--we've seen it over and over.
Last night we executed once in that manner when Costner popped out and naiiled a three. I'd like to see more of that.He seems to be the only big who might be capable of that.
Bacon works extremely hard but is over matched against 5s.
Traore is too slow and lacks offensive skills.
Hill needs some bulk and is not yet ready--he could develop given time.
Gooding's shooting woes are well documented and his slashing skills seem to have evaporated.He would work best in transition,but that game isn't there without a reliable rebounder.
I hear we may now be looking more seriously at JUCOs.Problem is that they no longer a fertile source since Div. 1 programs have increased in number to such a large extent.. I hope we can get lucky and land Drummond and that he works out.

If I were Dunne and felt I had a moral obligation, if not the job security concerns, to show significant improvement over three successive single digit win seasons, I'd go the JUCO/transfer route right now....no doubt about it. Desperate? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely.
Two frosh added next year won't change the big picture and Jenkins career would basically be wasted due to a poor supporting cast. If we can somehow pickup a Drummond and a good JUCO, Wesley's junior/senior seasons (and Dunne's career) might be snatched from the jaws of disaster.
Let me mention the elephant in the room.....if two better players are not added by next spring, if I were Jenkins, I'd transfer out. Wesley could definitely contribute on the A-10 level, for example. I hope it doesn't happen; it's up to Dunne.
