In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
Cornell's going to have real problems. Princeton will be in trouble as well, though at least the Tigers have recruited really well recently and theoretically have talent that could steady the ship.
The biggest losses tend to be good, high usage offensive players, because they're the hardest type of talent to find. Among Penn and Yale's losses, there are none of that type of player, certainly not for Penn (Woods is the highest at 18.9% of poss). That's not to say they won't need to replace some talent, just that they don't need to find a unicorn to do so.
At the end of the day, the talent that has missed a significant amount/all of this season and will return next year might be better as a starting five (if undersized) than the best five out of the departing talent: (Aiken, Mike Smith, Betley, Towns, Llewellyn).
