best case on the wing front...Coffey comes back and we get Ihnen to sign and to learn behind Coffey for a year....but when it comes to grad transfers with the unknown of Coffey on whether hes coming back or not I don't think we are a very appealing team to most grad transfer wings
You're right, best case scenario is Coffey coming back (we're going to agree to disagree on Ihnen but that's a separate discussion).
If Amir came back, that would null and void all of this but I don't like to see us wait around and bank on that possibility because we could get burned. I like Carr, we know what we have in Gabe but this team could seriously use another upperclassman, immediate impact backcourt player. Willis is probably a rotational PG/SG type and I like the freshmen we'd be bringing in with Williams (and hopefully Sherfield) but I don't want to have to rely on any of those three to have to be or forced to play major minutes out of necessity when you have every opportunity to address that concern.
I included wing in my original statement mainly to cover all basis, to be honest, it doesn't even necessarily have to be a true wing. Sure, it would be nice to have the prototypical 6'7" guy there but honestly, I'd approach it as add the best 1, 2, or 3 you can get and let it work itself out. We can play a three guard lineup, it's really not that big of a deal. Carr has the ability to play the 2 if we happened to have a legit PG GT addition, same with Gabe to the 3. Or even if it was a serious impact 2 guard that wanted in, Carr could play at the 1, Gabe once again to the 3 if need be.
The moral of the story is if Amir wanted to come back, great but we can't bank on that and we have every chance to add another veteran, plug and play 1, 2 or 3. I would hope that we are exploring that as much as possible and would be frustrated if we aren't.
