Baxter, Wade, Lowell & Harward
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but having these guys waiting in the wings makes me a lot less nervous about next year. It seems similar to the 2007 football team, which we assumed would be a rebuild, but Hall, Unga, Pitta & Collie were ready to keep the momentum going. Obviously I don't have that level of expectations, but I don't think next season will be as much of a rebuild as some have asserted. These are guys with actual experience and proven success at the D1 level. As long as everyone can get healthy and Pope can get them on the same page, it should be a fun young team to watch.

Projected Rotation (this could get messy b/c of several guys who can play multiple spots):

PG: Barcello, Wade/Erickson
SG: Wade, Johnson/Erickson
SF: Harding, Knell (Lowell? Baxter?)
PF: Baxter, Lowell
C: Harward, Baxter/Lee

There are some combinations available that could put a ton of length on the floor defensively and cause opposing teams headaches. And Erickson's athleticism should be a nice boost in the backcourt, especially if he takes on the mindset of being a lock down defender.
