But as I said in a post below, I really think he needs a year to play as a reserve. I think his career track would be something like this....

Freshman year: Get his feet wet. He'll show flashes of being a good player but will look like a freshman.
Sophomore year: We start seeing flashes of dominance but he's generally inconsistent.
Junior: Still a bit inconsistent, but really starting to show how good he will be.
Senior: Potentially a dominant player.

If KBJ doesn't come back though, we basically have an unready Ojiako, Horne (who at the ACC level should be a role player and not counted on for major minutes), and Johnson (who ideally is a practice body who gets a few minutes in blowouts or when we're in serious foul trouble). I think there was a kid from Idaho State that I'm not sure if we're still in on... wouldn't be a bad thing to pursue should Blackshear leave.

I think without Blackshear, 11-14 wins overall is probably about right. With him, I think we should at least come very close to .500 overall and probably meet or exceed that mark.

I think the core we're building has a chance to make the NCAAs down the road (and possibly as soon as 2020-2021). My guess it that 2019-2020 will likely be kind of maddening.... I could see us being that team that beats a Duke/UNC and then follows that up by getting drubbed by 15+ by a BC/Wake Forest/Pitt.
