Ben Bolch rates next year's frontcourt a 7 and the backcourt (without Gabe) an 8. Personally I think the backcourt score is a point too low. The duo of Mayo and Hackett should average close to 30 a game (Mayo around 19 and Hackett around 10). UCLA had one of the best backcourts in the nation in Collison and Afflalo and they averaged close to that point total.
Did Dwayne Jarrett lose out on a boatload of money by foregoing his senior season? According to a coach on Scott Wolf's blog, he lost about $10M. Well, considering the criticism has been primarily about his 40-time, something that can't be significantly improved upon when you are a mature athlete, I don't think it would have made a difference if he decided to come back for his senior season. When you weigh that with the possibility of injury, I personally think Dwayne made the right move.
