Defense, in particular, with the loss of Davis and Wills, will reallys struggle.  The O might not fall much, if at all, even with the departure of Oscar.  But yes, losing Davis, Wills - defensive studs - Da Silva (team MVP), and a first round NBA pick (even if he underperformed at Stanford) is pretty staggering to thing about.  Like others, I'm hoping (a) improvement by returnees, (b) contributions by newcomers, and © better team chemistry make up for the departures.

What does it say that with all those pieces on the team, we fell apart last year.  Yeah, there were injuries and issues, etc., but you would think that two defensive studs, an NBA pick and a senior who was pretty good, that we should have had a better record than we did.
