The #1 thing I want is a couple of pass first point guards that can initiate the offense.

After thinking about it, if I were HCSL I'd keep:

Ahmed--huge upside

I Coleman--it was ugly at times, but he's one of the few who I didn't question his effort and he eventually bought into his role. Could become a great defender.

Vukovic--he's a decent backup who learned to score as the year went on. Could help more if he adds weight

Either Clary or Curry--both had their moments. Both were infuriating. Keep one, lose one, find a real PG.

Guetta--appreciated his effort. Seems to be a good locker room guy.

So I'd say bye to VJ Miller, Crotty, Ragland, and one of the PGs.

Of course it's far from a guarantee that any of them will want to come back. It will be an interesting month.

I would keep Miller, Crotty, and Ragland. Miller has a chance to be a special player. He can shoot. Crotty never found his high school form. I think he can get there. Ragland is a diamond in the rough.

I would let both point guards go, unless we have no alternatives. Then keep Curry.

From the outside looking in, I would want to add some transfers to the following core of guys:

G Clary
G Curry
G Robinson
G/F Montonati
F Allmond
F Jennings
F Vukovic
F Ahmed
F Ragland

I would look to add a pass first PG, a scoring wing, a strong defensive wing, a defense oriented/rim protecting big man, and a strong offensive big man in the Ousmane/Fallah mold.
