[quote="Making Plays" post=347421][quote="redmanwest" post=347413]Maybe someone can do one of those roster tracking threads so we can get a snapshot of what we've got and what we don't?[/quote]
This is what it looks like right now...
1. Williams / McGriff / Open
2. Heron / Wright
3. Open (LJ) / Caraher
4. Open / Earlington / Open
5. Steere / Roberts / Open
-Need to go out and find probably 1 more guard... a combo guy that can play some PG and SG, preferably a grad transfer that could start right away.
-Need a combo forward... a stretch 4 type player.
-Need 1 more big man
-Need another SF if LJ leaves.[/quote]
Yeah the more I look at it, this is a total rebuild for coach Anderson. There’s a few guys like LJ, Heron, Wright and Steere who have Big East-level talent. The rest aren’t world-beaters and at best unproven. The prior staff left the cupboard absolutely bare with talented young players. We have some fair transfers and holdovers, but even our young guys were not oozing big time potential except maybe Greg Williams who seems to have some there. I hate having to fill a roster with stopgaps as well. Gonna be tough for coach Anderson because after this coming season, we might once again be the youngest team in the country. Either way, he’s gotta work with what he has. It’s terribpy apparent how the prior staff’s recruiting left almost nothing moving forward. The over-reliance on transfers rears it’s ugly head. Keita was still only a stop-gap measure.
