Yeah I'm fine with this. Just load up on 4stars who will stick around every year and have a perpetually old team of seniors like miami seems to manage. 10/6/2017 11:06:42 AM |

^^Yeah but the most successful teams they had were not from the last two recruiting classes. In those they don't have anything about a 4 star in like 4-5 years.
I'm just saying that the trend seems to be older experienced teams seem to fair better in CBB lately. Not saying you don't need good players, just that you need continuity. 10/6/2017 4:43:06 PM |

4* forward Jericole Hellems commits at 6pm. Most predictions say State. Projects as small ball PF.
Ranked in the 80-100 range like Bates and Steere 10/20/2017 3:30:17 PM |

Maybe not a collection of world beaters but hopefully a good core that will stay 4 years and grow, maybe add Saddiq Bey to that group.
If we can pry top 30 Keldon Johnson from Kentucky, we'll really be talking! 10/20/2017 7:01:29 PM |

So what positions do we have; lots of guards & lots of forwards but how many 1s vs 2s and how many 3s vs 4s and are there any 5’s? 10/20/2017 7:41:05 PM |
rwoody Save TWW 37585 Posts user info edit post |
Bates is a shot blocking 4/5, Steere is a scoring 4/5 (Abu-ish Mayne), Hellems is a stretch 4 (somebody said taller Caleb Martin).
Still working on Bey, a 3, and KJ, a 2 10/20/2017 8:54:35 PM |

with our (likely) only returning big man next year being Hicks, i'd guess we may look at juco or grad transfer guys for some immediate impact and experience in the front court. or maybe hicks emerges this year as a viable option and the staff has faith in the incoming freshmen...who knows 10/21/2017 7:33:17 AM |

Keatts has landed a 4* PG and 3 4* PF/C since he arrived in town, that's not a bad haul considering he hasn't coached a single minute of an actual game here.
Roster next year should be talented but have an interesting mix of experience(adding in the 2 transfers redshirting this year) and youth. I expect the next couple of years you're going to see us spot-filling with post-grads/jucos until we're able to build out a complete roster with good depth/spacing. 10/23/2017 2:22:37 PM |

number of available scholarships is not just dependent on number of graduating seniors. unexpected scholarships become available because someone goes pro (nba or some other pro venture) or transfer. In fact, I have come to expect someone to transfer at the end of every year, it's just how college basketball works now. 11/2/2017 10:28:48 AM |

And to clarify, here's our scholarship situation for 2018.
We are currently at 13 this year (max).
We lose Al Freeman, Sam Hunt, Lennard Freeman, Abu for sure. So that open up 4 spots...3 of which are accounted for by Steere, Bates, Hellems. Presumably Bey would make #4. We can certainly envision a scenario where Omer leaves, opening up another scholarship. Or maybe Omer + somebody else leave. Or maybe Omer and everybody else stays and this will be our full class. Seems reasonable to think we may have another scholarship open before the start of 2018 season. 11/2/2017 11:25:41 AM |
