I agree but don't know if you even had 14 or 15 as your option for 2021-22, it still creates the backlog.
If you are an incoming frosh and the rosters were expanded, does that mean the kids from 2021, get an extra year tacked onto their eligibility status?? Would this be a true frosh year for them, the same way a 2020 kid is treated (Jones, Mag, Reiber).
I know it sounds silly but the key is player development for a future starting position or role in the future. I think Mag could be one of the kids that eventually lands in the rotation, but I see Jones and Miller as more likely because of their positions. I think RU can find a guard in the portal to help backfill what may depart and we can develop Miller and Jones for larger roles later. I think the B1G in general is going to have a strep decline in how dominant it has become in the last 3 years, it will still be very good, but the last 2 years have been obscene on how talented and experienced the rosters are.
Wisconsin has 6 seniors....Iowa has 2 starters, Maryland a couple of starters, teams are going to be looking for replacements to reload and I don't anticipate RU having to now struggle to find the right fit, coming off of 2 straight NCAA caliber seasons.
