I am excited about the fact that we will be a much more experienced team next year. I don't know how to quantify how valuable that is but Lutz clearly is seeking to bring in experienced players, which makes sense in the current climate. If you are only going to have a guy for one or two seasons, better to have him for his final one or two seasons than his first one or two seasons. The following is the total minutes of each player that departed from OSU who had eligibility remaining and could have been on next year's roster:
Dailey-715 career Minutes at OSU, 2.4 Win Shares
Williams-1347, 2.6
Small-772, 2.1 (East Carolina), 1022, 3.0 (OSU)
McBride-154, 0.2
Garrison-727, 2.2
Now for the incoming guys that Lutz is bringing in out of the portal:
Dean-1844, 3.0 (FIU)
Jennings-644, 2.2 (TTU)
Avery-643, 2.5 (NMSU), 549, 2.1 (UCF)
Davis-3719, 8.2 (Ark)
Newman-1600, 4.3 (Pur), 875, 2.6 (WKU)
Ousmane-1789, 8.5 (UNT), 725, 1.6 (Xav)
Brantley-2825, 6.0 (LS)
In hindsight, it baffles me that Boynton chose to bring in a class of 5 freshman (plus another redshirt freshman in transfer Isaiah Miranda) when his seat was already so warm. Half of his roster had no minutes of college basketball when he could have just as easily brought in 3+ more experienced transfers in place of a few of those freshmen and probably saved his job for another year.
Just for reference, the experience OSU is bringing back is as follows:
Thompson-341, 0.3 (KU), 2354, 3.9 (OSU)
Keller-488, 1.0
Dow-306, 0.2
Johnson-0, 0
