Following the bouncing ball

So many changes so quickly. Changes in coaching staff, changes in recruits, changes in philosophy, changes in attitudes. Coach Mullin has certainly hit the ground running. It has been very exciting to follow.

To make sure I've got this all right we now have four new coaches (Chris Mullin, Terrance Mullin, Barry Slice Rohrssen and Matt Abdelmassih).

We also have a roster which has nine possible returning players as well as five commits and at least four potential additional recruits. I am posting this below because outside of hearsay this seems to be what is known at this time.

Please let me know where this list is off and what else we might see coming up.

I read here awhile back that JDR might be able to get another year but would have to send a petition to the NCAA. I didn't do any research on the rules concerning why he might be eligible and haven't heard anything else about it.

Shoot, I think I'd rather have FDR than JDR

Even if he is able to play he is going to be way down in the depth chart for big men...

Karma worthy.

It's good to see this all in one place.

I think the staff is still monitoring Marcus LoVett so we may want to keep him on the radar for the potential recruit section.

In addition, we have been mentioned with the below potential transfers:

Angel Nunez F - (immediately eligible)
Josh Cunningham F
Anthony Collins PG - (immediately eligible)
Nigel-Williams Goss PG
Manu Lecomte PG

Not sure if I'm missing anyone. I'm sure there will be many more names in the coming weeks.

Dumb question: Are Stewart and Henderson on schollies? Also are Samir and Sammy staying? Thanks.
 
Scratching Sampson off the list as well as Barnes-Thompkins we have a huge need for more guards (see list below). I am assuming Mullin and company are formulating a plan but it is unclear at this point to me what that plan is. Of course getting Mussini would help. The transfer route makes a lot of sense, because we currently have major minutes available in the backcourt alongside of Jordan. Although I am not sure which transfers we are alive with.

As we are currently situated Doughty stands to get minutes (if he is eligible) and Balamou does too (although he is not a true guard but a forward with a guard's height). Additionally Stewart and Henderson might be able to get playing time (if they are going to be here) but they are largely unknown commodities. Regardless we are currently very dependent on Jordan for our backcourt quality and if he were to get injured or become suspended we would have nothing much in the backcourt behind him. I am very interested to see what the staff comes up with next and which way that ball will bounce. Good luck guys and make it happen!
