Ballock reportedly signed with an agent. No surprise as I don’t think anyone expected him back, but that means CU will lose all 5 starters.

They Jays will likely take a step back (not many programs can lose all 5 starters without taking a step back), but it doesn't have to be a big deal. One down/rebuilding year every few seasons doesn't kill a program. They just need to focus on getting guys experience and putting the right pieces together to hopefully make another run at the tournament in 22-23. That is of course, unless they several splashes in the transfer portal that get them immediately back into contention - I don't think that's a must though. Fans don't like rebuilding years, but the occasional one isn't an awful thing for a program.

With all due respect to 2012, O'guy, and O1...no can do.
Your logic is sound, your argument is reasoned, and your helpful, kind, and measured sentiment is appreciated.

However, I am NOT having it. Jays will reload and carry on. Rebuild...Hah! Nope, not having it. Besides ol Mac
has had 2-3 rebuild years already during his 11-year tenure. Nope. He's already used up his quota of "rebuild".

Jays staff are still workin' hard, the 1-2 staff still onboard. I've got miles of faith in my guy Coach Alan Huss...the guy never sleeps.
Mac & Co are "beating the bushes" to see what scurries out - maybe a diamond-in-the-rough? Maybe a severely underappreciated,
undervalued "Late Bloomer"? Maybe a newbie, previously undiscovered? Maybe just 2-3 transfers? Doesn't really matter at this
juncture, but they'll giter done.

Jays have a good core returning and they now KNOW they'll be starting &/or getting mucho Playing Time. My guys will step up and
meet/exceed the opportunity. New class of 2021 guys should expect to contribute from day 1 and I personally expect PG Nembhard
to start from Day 1. Plenty of talent in the Trans Portal...we'll get ours.

Jays will contend and continue to be in the BE Championship hunt in 2021-22. Business as Usual. - gtmo

I can't say with the same confidence that GTMO says ( who could?) but I agree with his assessment. We have great young talent, and I believe we will bring in a couple of top level players from the portal to add to this team. Our recruiting class is very special and adds quality at pt guard, shooting wing, and #4 . They are all talented and a little undervalued -even at 4 star level .

gtmo, I hail to your web greatness. Whipping out a Lawrence Welk pic. Just priceless. Imagine making the champagne bubbles bubble out of the computer screen along with it.

Mason Miller, son of NBA Mike Miller, signed his LOI today and is officially a Bluejay. That’s good news.
