My opinion is if this guy signs and out only other offers are to guards and combo guards, we will be playing 4 out 1 in offense next year.

That would be awesome. JJ, Cane, Cumblerand, and Evans

power forward and center

Who are the big front line players we are recruiting that have solid offensive skills? We are going to need players who can step right in and start since we currently don't have any on the roster to replace Clark and Washington.

I *hope* he meant:
Broome
Cumberland
Evans
Moore/Williams
Brooks/Nsoseme

You should know by now that we aren't getting a player to come in year 1 and start. We don't even let Broome start over an inferior player, despite having been in the program for a year first. So I'd bet my life for $100 that no one is coming in cold and starting.

Those are the hardest players to get, especially in the AAAAC. How many bigs that have solid offensive skills from day 1 has Cronin gotten? Gates, Mike williams? Ronald Allen? How many solid offensive bigs are in the league?

Did Gary start in his first year? I think Washington started his first year in program.

Yes. I guess we could've just started 4 guys in Clark's first year to avoid a first year player having to start lol.

Washington sat out his first year in the program.

Unless something crazy happens, I wouldn't expect someone who has no current affiliation with our program to come in and start at the 4. We can pretend that might happen if we want to though.

so your saying we'll be playing 3 on 5 on the offensive end next year if Evans returns. Brooks and Scott have zero ability on that end of the floor. It's amazing how consistently ineffective they have been. Clark and Washington both started the first year of eligibility in the program. If Mick doesn't have a magic wand and can't find another big to bring in to start next year, it will be a major recruiting failure considering our ranking and new arena. And with the lineup you list above, good luck winning 15 games.

I actually like Nsoseme a lot, I’d like him more if he was a better free throw shooter

Who is Ronald Allen?

Well, I hope they make a nice run this year. I am heading to Orlando for the AAC tournament. For me, I won't be satisfied without at least a visit to the sweet 16. Someone on the bench is going to need to step up to give them quality minutes. Broome needs to takeover the PG position for the bulk of the games with JJ playing very limited minutes.

There will be no more two big men post

There will be zero big men in the post next year with any offensive ability to score more than one or two buckets per game unless Mick lands a recruit this spring who can come in and start. There is no one on our current roster. Considering there are two SR big men leaving, tons of minutes available, and our program is winning, we need a big with an offensive skill set. Brooks is abysmal. Just shocked that we currently have players that are projects at best for those positions.

I threw Washington in there because his situation was like Broome. As the roster sits now if Evans stays we go small. If Evans leaves you may see a recruit start at the 4.

Really think you hit the nail on the head. If someone on the bench was a viable option offensively other than Broome he may already have been in the line up.

Brooks will be in there to get put back’s and rebounds the other four on the court will be there to score

Eric Hicks' favorite player of all-time.

Calm your tits.

Going with a 1 big lineup, Brooks and Ellie will work well. We don't want the 1 big taking 3s like Clark/Washington. We want them getting offensive boards and dishing out/dunking.

It will be interesting how Tre Scott fits on this team next year.
