I don't expect to make the Tourney next year though.

Pressey is gone, man. Was told before yesterday's game that he was playing professional basketball next year. From a guy who's extremely close to the program... and whose source talks to Pressey daily.
Clarkson has drawn rave reviews, as you mention. This team can be a NCAA team/bubble team next year if:
1) Clarkson is as good as advertised (talk is of him having a 10-year NBA career)
2) They get halfway decent interior play from 2 of Jonathan Williams III, Torren Jones, Keanu Post, Jankovic, Rosberg
3) Defensive effort is better (last year's team had severe things stacked against it defensively... this year's team just wasn't consistently trying).
