Not a surprise at all, but it is a bummer.
Next season looks rough right now. We need 1-2 of the returning players to make a Kuzma sized leap, and we need at least one of the newcomers to be good.

Which I think means Larry needs to bring in at least one more eligible for next year. Which might need to be his biggest miracle yet.Originally Posted by sancho

Larry put out a very nice statement, which was the right thing to do. I agree with what has been said, he's gotta pull a rabbit out of his hat and get someone in here for this season...maybe another graduate transfer?
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
With Kuzma gone, we can look at the roster. I know positions are fluid, but it works out well to group them by position anyway:
1) PG (Barefield, Bibbins). The great hope here is that Barefield makes a giant leap. It's a reasonable hope because he has shown flashes. We haven't seen Bibbins, but it also seems reasonable to hope that he is at least a good option coming off the bench.
2) SG (PVD, Popoola). The great hope here is that PVD can become a 40% shooter from outside. The secondary hope is that Popoola's athleticism allows him to defend right off the bat.
3) SF (Bealer, Seeley). Ouch. Just hope that Seeley is good. Bealer was playing alright at the end of the season, but I don't think he's a starter on a tournament team.
4) PF (Tillman, Rawson). So much of the hope for the season rests on an unknown with Tillman. If he can rebound and defend and stay on the floor, we won't need Rawson too much.
5) C (Collette, Johnson, Jokl). This is the only position that we know right now is Pac-12 worthy. At the other positions, we have hope. If Johnson can jump up to the next level, I suspect we will see both Collette and Johnson on the floor at the same time.
I think this is another season where we are hoping to overachieve and end up 4th or 5th in the conference. We seem to have stalled out instead of continuing our upward climb in the Pac-12. We will either start climbing again, or we will start slipping.
Has Daniels enrolled anywhere?

I believe he was set to visit UCONN, but I don't believe he has announced if that is his final destination.

Utah transfer Devon Daniels told ESPN he will visit NC State on Monday.
