Any idea who Coach Painter is talking about?

I’m pretty sure Painter has used the word loyalty when talking about the portal and player retention. Perhaps he considers development in the loyalty equation, I don’t know.

I think a good example is Jacobsen. I don’t see Painter recruiting over DJ but I could see him adding a backup for that position. I suppose that would be more of a replacement for Furst but I’m pretty sure DJ is considered the starting five going into next season. But Painter has been pretty clear about retention along with development as being most important to him when discussing the subject.

I mean he absolutely would recruit a better player over DJ. He seems like a nice kid but he's played one game for us. There's no evidence this far that no better player can be found in the next four years and if Painter finds one that fits I'd expect that he'd recruit him

Colvin
Heide
Burgess

I really don’t see any holes in that returning roster. Room for improvement and development? Absolutely! Holes? Not seeing them.

I see three bigs and I don't think that's enough. So that's a hole.

Injuries and foul trouble happens. I also wouldn't turn down another wing for depth or sixth man material if good enough.
