2015 had Thomas Bryant, OG Anunoby, and Juwan Morgan. All of whom are better to significantly better players than you just mentioned, to be fair. 

Absolutely.  The media refuses to learn anything because Purdue is a program they like.  Purdue is running it back with the same group that won 8 games by 5 points or less with the easiest conference schedule, no injuries, the biggest physical advantage in college basketball, an officiating style that mostly caters to it, and ultimately suffered no better than the second worst loss in NCAA Tournament history.  Edey comes back and they bring in a one-man recruiting class (although I do like Colvin), and they are magically off the hook and right back at the top of college basketball.

Did they even add at least one good guard?
Have they learned to play really good defense?
Is their biggest/only real offensive threat no longer a significant liability on defense?
The Purdue is UVA narrative is so lazy and uninformed. 

Those would be considered hostile environments.

It would have to be a guard that can distribute and make things happen.  Is that X?  Is that Gunn as backup?  Is it Trey?  
It has to be X.  He is the experienced PG that really has to excel. He is the starter.  He has to get the ball across the line.  He has to keep things moving to beat the clock.  He has to have one step on the defender.  He has to make everyone else look good.  It would be a plus if he could hit some.  And free throws will also be a key.  He has to take the other side's PG and put the whammy on him. He has to keep his cool.  He cannot get injured for significant stretches. 
There are lots of parts, and lots of keys.  But the PG has to be really, really good.  And he is an upperclassman.  
Make it so.
 

I lean toward X because I think we will go as he goes.

I really hope we add Rhode Island so we can get some easy basketball wins!
What happened to the Florida State rumor?  I want them too

It's literally just becoming ESPN/SEC vs FOX/B1G

I’d take him IF Newton is in doubt for most of the season AND IF Woody is unsure of Gunn’s ability to relieve TG during games and/or take his place in case of injury.
Hopefully  Gunn is showing promise this summer (I have no idea) because it is a little scary going into the season at the 2G with TG’s backups only being an unproven Gunn and, possibly out for most of the season, unproven Newton.

I'd still like to see a CG with the last scholarship but wouldn't be so concerned if he came from a small school and/or didn't have great numbers. Someone that would be willing to come off the bench.

Every single weekend, especially during league play... BTN/FS2 should be used. And multiple games. 

Losing XJ changed the entire dynamic of this team

This just got retweeted by Adam Howard. 

We live in a day and age where player you can’t afford to worry about that or other teams will pass you bye. Backups will need to buy in or they will be gone.

Therein lies the rub. To make it far in the tournament we need to be able to compete against athletic teams like Miami. However, we also need to be able to win enough games in the B1G to not only make the tournament but to have a decent seed.

He is looking for a lost ring after all
