How big is the Georgia State gap this year?

They won the regular season by FIVE games last season - totally blew away everyone else. (They got caught in the tournament, but tournaments prove who is hottest, not necessarily who is best.) This season they have THREE money conference players. However, they lost two starters and several reserves off last year's roster. What does that tell us? Will they be 50% better with 50% more high level players. Not likely, although it is not inconceivable that they could be significantly better. The chemistry issue might have to be addressed, but the talent is overwhelming enough that they can endure some of that.
