Thoughts for BU basketball upcoming 26/27 season

[Dakrow77]

With all the departures this summer, how will BU look next season. I know everyone talking about who leaving but what about what BU still has. Especially since we have a nice freshman coming in...your thoughts....

My thoughts is BU will still be favorites to win district.  Thinking back, when Jones arrived at BU, he took over the starting guard position.  Well, the kid he got the job from was already a starter as a freshman (King Campbell).  So they’ll still be experience there.  Also, with EJ’s departure, you’d think BU was losing length.  Well, his backup was a 6’8” sophomore.  He’s projected to be a starter next year.  So what I’m saying, this BU squad probably isn’t favorited to make the state tournament (or however you want to call it these days), but I think it’ll be a pretty decent playoff run.  And I say decent to BU’s standards.  
 

Also, I’m saying all of this and I haven’t even mentioned that strong Odom MS group that will be on BU’s campus next year.  BU will be fine.

Favored over West Brook?  That says something about the depth at BU.

Agreed, and that Odom group is strong. Also, that Summit team that beat BU in state, had lost three of there best players from the year before when they won state.

I believed BU could make state last year, before Payton or Campbell transferred in. So with the additions and what they still have now, BU could be back to at  least Semi finals for state. But only if they in 5A D2 this coming year

Don't really know.  Just know about the bigs.  No idea about JV or JH's.  Just impressive that BU could loose that much talent and still be favored over the team that went undefeated in district last year.  I know West Brook lost some key pieces just expected them to be able to somewhat replace them.  Will be interesting to see how it unfold over the next few months.
