We do have a PG in Brandon Randolph but he is more of a combo guard. And I believe Edmond Sumner might be a PG but not sure.

If Sumner can get healthy and bulk (muscle) up a bit during this red shirt year, he has a great shot at starting from day-1. At 6'6" with moves like a 5'10" kid, he could be a very special player for the Muskies. Some had him rated as XU's best incoming frosh this year.

Don't forget that Villanova has McDonald's All-American Jalen Brunson coming in. NOBODY is stealing Ryan A's starting spot but Jalen and Arch will be sharing the floor a lot.

I think chances of Dunn coming back to PC are really low.

He'll likely be a first round draft pick by the end of the year.

At this point we are looking at Duane Wilson. He isn't really a point guard, but he is the closest we have on the roster/coming in. There is word that Wojo is looking at JuCos and possibly for another grad transfer but Duane is the backup plan at the moment.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My hope is they move Remy to PG and start M Davis at OG. Start Trevon at the three and have sumpner and JP pick up the bulk of bench minites at the 1-3 spot.

There is a 0% chance Remy will ever play meaningful minutes at PG for X, unless major injuries. Next year, X will have Randolph, Austin, and Sumner at PG (unless Randolph leaves, which I've heard nothing about, I just have a gut feeling). Abell will play the 2 and the 3, depending on if Mack is playing the small line up with Bluiett at the 4. My guess is Randolph and Austin split the bulk of the PG minutes, until Mack finds a favorite. I suspect Sumner will start the season splitting his time between point, off ball and the bench, until Mack decides how to best utilize him.

People keep saying Jordan is leaving because he said that at the beginning of the season he was going pro, but not one single scout is saying he is ready for the NBA and clearly wont be drafted. If he transfers he has to sit out a year and means thats at least 2 more years before he can go pro. So I don't think he ends up leaving after this season. Unless he wants to go play over seas and be even FARTHER away from his family which he seems he needs to be close to I just don't see him going anywhere after this season.

Same with Obekpa, I think he returns next year. Those two anchor our team full of newbies and sophs. Watch for the evolution of Alibegovich, that kid has some game and will be a quality four year player.

A lot of BE teams are going to look different next year: Nova, Providence, Marquette, and Creighton for sure, and possibly St. John's, Seton Hall, and Butler.
Speaking just on Creighton, we are bringing in two transfers in Huff and Watson Jr. and five freshmen in Harrell, Justin Patton, Marlon Stewart, Martin Krampelj, and Khyri Thomas. It is possible that up to four players, but more likely just one or two more on the current roster will leave the program and be replaced as well.

Possibly St. John's? 4 of our 6 players with the most minutes including our top 2/3 scorers are graduating as well as our only true PG. We might also lose our other 2 starters though I don't think they will leave. We will look completely different for the first time in four years. These seniors have been starting for four years. Our team is going to look a lot different.
