We have a great deal of talent, but not much size or
depth. I think we will miss Scott. Need Hicke and some
freshmen to step up. Also, hoping Sangster returns.

Re: Lee declares for draft

Thats what i heard from teams that worked him out. Not sure how much he can improve in a weakened ivy league (due to transfers out) although maybe an impressive ncaa run moves him up.
Seriously though ivies need to step up their game to keep players in the programs. Our guy Tyler Perkins specifically called out food at Villanova as one of his reasons for transfer, Xavian talks about the costs of food in Princeton (and much of the documentary is about eating out. Ive heard directly from my cousin who is star female athlete about food quality and availability when you hitting the weight room early am and then practicing after classes. And of course the bus rides

Lee declares for draft

Maybe student-athletes can get a "supplementary food stipend" since they're working out at all hours. It's ridiculous that they have to worry about something so basic.
Even in a weak Ivy, I think Xaivian would benefit greatly from another year of conditioning. Lee getting stomach flu was a big factor in the ILT/NIT losses, but even before that, he looked tired down the stretch. His 3pt and FT %s dipped sharply in the final weeks.
Lee could also use more "showcase" games against Power conference opponents, especially in the NCAA tournament. Tosan's stock skyrocketed after the Sweet 16 run. Xaivian has a chance to do the same.
