If Downey does leave......

[Brian Hesseling]

I look for McGowen and Herara to leave also. I know everyone thinks it would
be a huge mistake for McGowen to leave with only one year of eligibility
left but I think I would leave rather than play on a 7 win team. I say 7
wins cause I think if Downey leaves we go from 10 wins down to 7.

Downey leaving adds another year to the rebuilding process. A top level
point guard atracts big men and spot up shooters to a program. Also a good
point guard takes a lot of the pressure off a coach to make all the
decisions.
