Minutes are going to be hard to come by at every position. A lot of these guys have more than 1 year of eligibility remaining too. Feels like we will see a couple transfers out when the pecking order starts to take shape.

Sounds like a good problem, but unfortunately, that is also the state of college basketball going forward.

This move seems to me to be a no lose situation. Expectations are limited but excellent potential upside in the post with defense and rebounding. What's not to like?
