Former LMU star Dominick Harris will address one of the Bruins' biggest offseason needs after shooting 44.8% from three-point range last season.
Rather than develop young players in his bid for a rapid turnaround, Mick Cronin has rebuilt his
men's basketball roster with proven talent, one transfer after another arriving as part of what could be dubbed the Quick Fix Six. The large cast of newcomers appears to address all of the team's needs and could vault the Bruins from a losing record in their final Pac-12 season to a place among the favorites during their first season in the Big Ten. William Kyle III brings elite rim protection. Kobe Johnson brings sturdy defense. Tyler Bilodeau brings offensive punch.
’s transfers should transform the Bruins from one of the youngest teams in college basketball to a savvy, veteran bunch. A year after heavily featuring seven freshmen and three sophomores, will have a graduate transfer, two seniors and three juniors as part of its primary rotation. Perhaps the best gauge of how much talent the Bruins have imported is that guard Sebastian Mack, who started 30 games last season and ranked third on the team in scoring, could now be fighting for minutes as a reserve. Forwards Lazar Stefanovic and Brandon Williams also could go from starters to coming off the bench.
did not have an open scholarship at the time of Harris' commitment, meaning someone will have to leave for him to join the roster. As currently constructed, the roster is rounded out by freshman guard Eric Freeny and returning forwards Williams, Berke Buyuktuncel and Devin Williams. A year after lamenting that some players were in the rotation only because he had no other options, Cronin might be pressed to find enough playing time for all his luxury imports.
