Last year’s Musketeers roster was filled with nothing but mid-major transfers, with the conference results going as expected. The program went with more proven options, with Washington and Dominguez being high-major starters, while Westry is a former top-40 prospect out of high school who had a breakout campaign at UAB.
The frontcourt should be deep as well, with Nwoko and Chitikoudis joining Milicevic inside. Pozzato, who missed all of last year with an injury, counts as a newcomer and someone who’ll give them more offensive production.
It’s the kind of roster where we’ll get a much better look at head coach Richard Pitino. There may be some questions as to who is the star and go-to guy on the roster, but depth won’t be a concern this time around.
