Close - but going to need some more firepower as detailed above in order to have a solid shot at a Team Trophy…
I think Sonny & Jimmy can do it BUT:
1) They need competition to push them.
2) They need training partners with different skill sets/tactics..
3) Ideally at least augmenting Coach Haught - maybe a resident athlete heavy.
4) Jimmy appears to need to really dedicate to his craft - hoping Henson, Bo, Seidel can inspire/drive these guys on the cusp up another level. Diet & strength. Looks the same as he did as a true freshman.
5) Sonny gets in his own head. He adapted & didn’t just let people get to his legs & scramble on his end of season hot streak - then NCAAT he reverted (for some reason) back to that strategy & it cost him…
6) Assuming Burton goes 174 as Mole stated the other day. 157, 165 & 184 are potential portal options. Unless Gaj can add good/weight & strength and be as effective at 157 as he was at 149 (early last season he wasn’t as good at 157 as 149). And/or Noah can jump a level plus be an AA guy at 157/165 or needs another year to adjust. And I mean like a solid AA guy - they knew Seidel was going to be Top 4. There are going to be guys - especially one year guys - available here very shortly….

I still think Church is a good option at 165. He showed good improvement

It is all in how you define good option. If you mean a tough out

Mullen looks far away from being able to deliver like that. Good Sasso

Not sure is Smith is available. That's been a rumor with no solid evidence.**

With Melvin coming in, we're probably most appealing to a senior transfer**
