I really won't be bothered to miss out on Ponds. I think it's been pretty clear for a while that he was SJU's to lose.
Besides, I am in the minority in believing that a post player is more important than a PG for that last scholarship. We could then go out and get a grad transfer or solid frosh PG next spring. We could also put Marcus at the point, since it seems he has been interested in that in the past, with Khyri at the other guard spot.
Even if we don't go that route, getting a quality PG in the transfer market is very realistic in this day in age and would guarantee a successor to Mo.
