1. Starting 5 will include the long-discussed return to "2 bigs". Kellan, Carter, and HJ at the guards. Luka and Sam at the bigs. Plenty of reserve legs for the guards (Grant, Mike, David C., Emory ... with Luke as a starter if he is back?). Plenty of reserve legs for the bigs (Nelson, Bates, David K.). That feels like a roster that can withstand at least one significant injury at the guard position, though still "at risk" for anything significant from our starting bigs ... though more resilient than in recent times.
2. Current recruiting question: does Luke return? Super, super want him to. Aside from always having seemed like the personification of Davidson basketball, he is just dang good and dang valuable (not always the same thing, and Luke defines both), and dang lovable. However, if he is not returning, does that suggest immediate use of the scholarship for an incoming freshman or transfer, or saving it for next year's recruiting class? If it is an open scholarship, I would love to see us use it on a transfer "big", to become available Luka's senior year. Can only imagine the strength of having Luka as a senior, Sam in his 2nd full year, plus a transfer big on the front line.
3. Not losing sight of the season right in front of us! We can enjoy both now and then
