Yeah, we can have a pretty good idea what the roster would be. The 3 guys left and several guys who just went through the exit door.

Only thinking of our future is how fast we dump the coach and ACTUALLY care to improve the future
I really don't think removing KS this early in his contract would be much of a calling card for his successor . Forget Pitt not being able to afford such a move who would come here that anyone wanted ? NO ONE !
which is how we ended up with this disaster.
Dude, when we are totally irrelevant... who is going to want the job...simply because we let Stallings steal a paycheck for 6 years ??
He was a very good coach but awful recruiter and is as responsible for our current mess as Stallings.
False, Stallings has had over 12 months to recruit.
What's sad is that we weren't very far off from this same situation just couple short years ago, having to sign up 3 so-so grad transfers to fill out a roster, on top of bringing guys with a good chance of not playing because of medical questions, or just out and out reaches easily on par with any of the current group shrugged off as projects.
And what is amazing is that was the state of affairs with a well-entrenched coach with a stellar resume/prior performance, no complications resulting from a coaching change, old players from the prior coach either 'run off' or choosing to leave on their own. But yeah, we were way way better off back then.
Alternate facts. Stallings only had a short time to recruit last year's class and this class isn't complete.
Not very far off? That team with 3 not so great transfers and injured players won over 20 games and made the tourney. Players weren't abandoning the program. How many wins will this team have? Results are what matters, not our perception of recruiting.
KS had a chance to come in here and bring in a recruit or two and turn this thing around. I was told he was an excellent recruiter. Instead, everyone has left the program, including Cam and KS primary recruit, and the program is a disaster.
We were incredibly better then than we are now. The program has disintegrated.
We made the tourney. Now we have no team to speak of. You and Del think that's the same. Sane people disagree.
Alternate what? Show me our 12-13 players. I'll wait.
In fact, you head is so far deep in Stallings flower bed that last May you guys said nobody was left, and here we are again in May with no players and no players available. A full year to recruit and he failed. He's a bigger doofus than the Stallings apologists on here.

Absolutely wrong. Quit making excuses for Stallings, a so-called coach who can't recruit or coach. Dixon has been gone for a while now. Stallings has had a chance to recruit some players and he hasn't done squat. This is 100% his mess and he is accountable.
Solid signing by you guys. I always thought he was going to be a big contributor at St. John's, but he really faded last year. With both our starting guards coming back in addition to Miles Simon transferring from Arizona he was going to see reduced PT. All in all though he does a lot of things well. He's a solid defender and rebounds well for a guard. His shooting, and basketball IQ leaves a lot to be desired though. His play was VERY frustrating at times last year, but in the right system I think he can develop into a nice player for you guys.
I picked Pitt over RMU & others...cuz Stallings said I didn't have to play much D & I could shoot as many shots as I want at Pitt...
Great deal! Lol!
