Losing Denmon and English will hurt, but I still feel Ratliffe's shoes won't be as hard to fill as some people think.

I don't think Pollard has a great impact on
next season. In fact, Oriakhi would probably be a bigger deal for 2012 than Pollard would.
But by 2013, Pollard and Pressey could give us another chance to have our hearts broken in the Tourny. By then you would hope that Ross is doing an admirable job replacing Denmon. Pollard would be an elite 4 and Brown is probably a solid fit at the 3. I don't think that team would have a true 5 though; not sold on Rosburg at all.
Pollard's the key to the recruiting class, IMO. He could make this class go from good to great (since Brown is included).
