Unfortunately no. The one person I got most my info from has moved on to a permanent position at a different program.

My thoughts would be I don't trust the big guys we currently have to really progress well other than Diarra. I would hope they try their best to bring a high caliber scoring big and a long athletic wing asap

I don't know jack...but I'm really high on Wilcher for '20. Dont know how realistic a shot we have, but that would be a great get imo. Thoughts on '20?

Wilcher would be a great start, would also need to add a wing and another big man in my opinion. Here is my ideal scenario for 2019 and 2020...

2019:
Combo G Samari Curtis
SF Myron Gardner

2020:
PF Josh Hemmings
SG CJ Wilcher
SF Josh Hall
C Clifford Omoruyi

Again no more insider information and these are names that have been connected to the program. If Cronin wants to take the next step he needs to really look into getting higher level athletes like Keith and Logan. Easier to work on someones jumpshot than it is to make them a really good athlete. Curtis will provide good outside shooting and Wilcher is a knock down shooter. The others not so much, but the more length and athleticism this team has, the more it can make up for the lack of knock down shooters.

I think that would be a good start. My preference would be this.
2019: (replacing Broome and Jenifer)
Samari Curtis CG
James Beetle Bolden (Grad Transfer) G

2020: (replacing Cumberland, Scott, Brooks, Bolden, and Fredericks)
CJ Wilcher SG
RJ Davis PG
Earl Timberlake SG/SF
Zed Key PF

I would take Omoruyi or Hemmings for the 5th but I am not sure how realistic that is.

Those are some great players.

I would love to land McNeil this class and Wilcher for 20. We would seriously upgrade our perimeter shooting. Hopefully, playing for a loser program will entice McNeil to play for a team that he knows will make the tournament every year.

Shoots overall under 40%, has more TO's than assists? Hard pass
