Go get two 6'5" or taller, 3 & D guys who we know can play in the Big 12 (don't guess this time and make sure they can play defense so they can stay on the court). Go get another PG to give Harris rest and sometimes play along side him (like Mason and Graham did). Harris will be gone next year and we need continuity at that position (like how Graham took over as PG when Mason left). Finally, we need a slasher who can drive to the net and get his own when the plays break down (preferably tough and can draw a foul while he's at it - like Wilson). Maybe some of our returning players can fill those shoes BUT don't necessarily bank on that. We learned the hard way that injures happen and a bench is a beautiful thing in March. We now can fill 12 scholarships since we're done with those "Self" imposed sanctions (instead of 9 we were allowing ourselves due to the IARP hearing last year).
I think McDowell can be a good rotation player, if elmarko can improve his 3pt shot, he has a chance to be very good.. but I think Self wants a combo guard that can provide shot creation and shot making, also handle bringing up the ball and initiating the offense.. this season unfortunately Arrerio Morris fit that mold perfectly

Harris have never pushed the ball up court like Dotson or Frank I really believe Harris needs to be pushed from another good PG.
What are the odds that Jackson or McDowell develop over the summer to that 2 guard?

Get rid of Harris he is thevworst starting PG in America . Cant make a layup cant make a jump shot . Not bad on defense
