Hope it happens, but I can't think of very many examples of people doubling the prior output by stepping up considerably in levels.

Barnett is a pretty good player, MU fans seem to be underrating him at the moment. He won't be easy to replace.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

I think the next class is one of those program foundation - jlbomega MU - 1/30 12:48:13

Did hype match reality with the current freshman class?(nm) - alstl MU - 1/30 11:24:01

Hard to say since we will only see a full season from two - jlbomega MU - 1/30 12:42:29

Had MPJ been healthy that would be yes - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 11:38:56

Watson is legit. Barnett is just a toe raise 3 point - itznotwillis MU - 1/30 11:17:15

RE: Watson is legit. Barnett is just a toe raise 3 point - itznotwillis MU - 1/30 11:31:12

Can he create his own shot.......nm - tigertix MU - 1/30 11:23:47

As a freshman next season - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 11:39:41

Maybe not, but he is way better at it than Barnett is - itznotwillis MU - 1/30 11:45:31

You don't score 2,000 points at the beginning of your senior - itznotwillis MU - 1/30 11:32:20

Santos & Picket aren't even playing this year - jlbomega MU - 1/30 10:35:46

Lol. That's what was said by many here about Robertson! - longtimereader MU - 1/30 14:16:21

Robertson played last year - jlbomega MU - 1/30 16:20:59

Agree completely - Bump834 MU - 1/30 10:28:35

Next year will be similar to this year, I believe, as - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/30 09:50:54

It could be and it could be better - longtimereader MU - 1/30 14:28:19

Jontay and Tilmon can replace the production of - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 10:02:51

I wouldn't them to replace all of it but yes a large chunk(nm) - longtimereader MU - 1/30 14:37:42

I wouldn't expect Puryear to improve any. He is basically - TheWildcat STL - 1/30 10:00:14

I think the optimism has to come from - FIJItiger MU

- 1/30 09:57:35

Yep! (nm) - longtimereader MU - 1/30 14:33:18

He can probably replace Barnett's production in the last 8 - tigerdb MU - 1/30 09:41:00

He can be a more productive player while scoring less. - GapDaddy MU - 1/30 09:39:50

Yes...I agree - Bump834 MU - 1/30 10:31:38

Santos hasn’t really been a guy that takes - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 09:49:03

Neither is Barnett. - GapDaddy MU - 1/30 10:28:24

He is not a good ball handler - nitwittc3 MU - 1/30 10:01:28

I wouldn't call Barnett a scorer. He's a shooters. - GapDaddy MU - 1/30 10:30:16

I wouldn’t call Barnett a sharp shooter - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 10:07:05

Barnett wasn't able to give SR. Barnett's production for his - McMuffin MU - 1/30 09:34:15

I don’t know that I would expect 15 ppg - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 09:25:30

Santos' last two season: @UIC and not playing basketball - jlbomega MU - 1/30 10:33:56

You follow recruiting right? - FIJItiger MU

RE: You follow recruiting right? - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/30 10:32:23

Seems a little hard to imagine Jontay/Tilmon comb for 30 ppg - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/30 10:21:22

I would expect Jontay to develop a good post game - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 10:42:54

Carroll/Lyons barely did it as seniors, they are the - FIJItiger MU

- 1/30 10:23:37

But we also rarely have a combo of Jontay/Tilmon's abilities - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/30 11:08:54

i wouldn’t call Jontay a post player - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 10:46:01

is he as athletic as Barnett? - Bump834 MU - 1/30 09:33:35

It’s hard to tell from the competition level he’s faced - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 09:36:22

That seems like a very high expectation - FIJItiger MU

- 1/30 09:24:53

Santos biggest impact may be as a defender - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 09:32:49

Since he’s not playing in Juco - WildCard MU - 1/30 09:28:54

Possibly so. Then the statement holds even more true - FIJItiger MU

- 1/30 09:38:49

He had higher production in conference play than noncon - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 09:45:32

That seems like a completely unrealistic expectation - FIJItiger MU

- 1/30 09:49:37

Barnett is a spot up 3 point shooter - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/30 09:53:40

That would be awesome if he can avg 10-12 ppg next year - FIJItiger MU

- 1/30 09:55:56

I would highly highly doubt that occurs. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 1/30 09:22:54
