Small Forward next year

We have more than enough at SF. Bashir is a legit SF as is Freudenberg. Only reason people referring to him as a stretch 4 is because he's near 6'10", but he's got pretty pure wing skills. Ellison is perfectly good as an occasional SF as well. He's 6'6", 200 lbs and would be classified as a SF at some other schools. I prefer grooming Ellison as a big guard/ point forward type though.

I think 3 SF's is fine for the roster.
 
There is one pressing need here: a 6'7 or 6'8 power forward who will eat space and get 8 or more rebounds a game. Looie spend a career usually relying on 1 star and 4 support players. The star, despite Looie playing him close to 40 minutes. never seemed to get hurt. We don't have the luxury yet of being 2 deep at every position without a large drop-off in talent. You need some bigs with bulk to compete in the Big East.

Watching Xavier's James Farr dominate tonight, I was thinking, that's the type of player we're lacking.
