With this years juniors, who will be next years seniors, who do we have to back them up? Young, Artis, Jeter, jones and Nix will all be seniors next year, I don't see anyone on this roster to back them up next year or move into their spots the following year, do we get more 1 year grad transfers or rely on recruiting freshmen? The way I see it we will need front court players who can rebound, shoot and play D, not much to ask for

Nix will not be a senior next year I believe. We have Manigault coming in, and still one more ship to give. At least.
 
Looks like their main targets right now are a C in 2016 (Tshimanga), a PF in 2017 (Simmons), and then a JUCO C/PF in 2017 (Diagne). Luther and Nix will return up front as well.

Should have options at the 1, 2, and 3 between Wilson, Milligan, Kithcart, Slim, and Clark. Wouldn't surprise me to see Kithcart at the 1, Wilson at the 2, Slim at the 3, and then Milligan bounces between the 1 and 2 and Clark bounces between the 2 and 3.
 
Does Young or Artis go pro?

Anything is possible. Artis is no kid relatively speaking - he's 23. And as others have said if you go pro you get to work on playing basketball full time.

And with Nix - who knows - could be the next Gary McGhee, could be the next Tyrone Haughton. Although I don't know how much, if any, Nix has practiced so no telling what the staff thinks of him.
