It was not the most revealing interview, but here it is.

Harris is a big get for Conroy and his staff, giving them two guys in the incoming class who are as good or better in rep than anyone they have signed in his tenure.

A backcourt of Harris, Stark, Dabney, Pinckney, Mack, Reynolds and Morgan could be pretty effective.

The frontcourt remains awfully thin, but Osetkowski, Henson and Blake Paul are building blocks. Look for Stanley Roberts Jr. to join Hearlihy and Liberman as departures. Roberts Jr. was considered a long shot to ever be a D1 factor, and his first year pretty much proved he was a no shot. Hearlihy had some potential and saw the floor well but never seemed on balance, which two years into your career usually means you can't play. Liberman was not good and also delusional, feeling like he was being held back from a potential NBA career by college coaches (first at Northwestern, now Tulane) who did not see his ability. What ability?

Tulane now has 10 players who can contribute against AAC competition, although I don't want to overdo the optimism here. Dabney and Stark have to shoot a heck of a lot better, Pinckney and Mack need to improve significantly in the offseason, Morgan is an unknown quantity, freshmen often go through growing pains and for as much as Conroy talked about Reynolds' injury hurting the Wave (and I believe it did), he was not playing well before he went out with his hand injury.
