In response to UPIA1968
Some facts for next year.
Penn with the four departed players loses 41% of its scoring, 29% of its rebounding and 35% of its minutes. Tyler's loss means that Penn will be decidedly among the Ivy teams with significant losses. On that basis a 2-4 win Ivy season is likely. It would be worse except for Dartmouth.
Penn gains for sure 4 players and is still in the mix for 6, including the two Jucos. The means five to seven new players.
There is hope, then, for a good recruiting year, maybe enough to offset the lost talent.
Penn's prospects for 2025 are no better than they were preseason for 2024. A spot in Ivy Madness would be a miracle.
I also looked at transfers across the league. Princeton, Yale, and Cornell had the least. No surprise huh? The departure of Perkins is the only significant early departure of a good player. Can anyone think of such a talent ever leaving the league so early.
