Assuming Evans' scholly opens up, how would you like to see it used for next season?

Brandon mahan first priority, then maybe transfer if no one left that can contribute. Markus Carr.

Sounds like those guys aren't options anymore.

I know it's not Cronin's cup of tea, but I voted for a graduate transfer, mainly because serviceable wings aren't too hard to find and it keeps the scholarships equally balanced by class.

I'd rather not throw Moore or Williams to the wolves next season and let them gradually get more comfortable with their games starting the season on the bench. I'd also rather not start Jenifer and Broome together.

I agree but sounds like older recruits are under the impression that the minutes are spoken for. Then factor in how Cronin treats first year players...I'd say chances aren't good for grad transfers or juco guys. The idea of an immediate impact guy at this point seems a bit bleak. We're just ice skating uphill with 1 broken skate around here!

With 2 scholarships available, I'd like to use them both if one of them is a sit out transfer.

That's disappointing to hear.

You'd think that with the high likelihood of Evans' early departure, the staff would've made courting (no pun intended) a replacement a high priority.

They must have high confidence in Moore and/or Williams making big strides next season.

That's the scary part. We really might be a bubble team.

I'm sure they are trying and have tried hard to replace him. however, the likelihood of getting anyone this late that can come in and make an impact next year is slim

Step off the ledge man....we lost to Nevada in the second round. Get over it....the program isn’t doomed.

I’m concerned. We’ve had an impact recruit each season for a while now. Last year we had Cane Broome playing so I’ll give us that. Next year we don’t have one AND we are losing 2 years worth.

Fingers crossed, but I think it’s going to be a frustrating year.

Checked in with joe cremo but lots of competition with that one

i like the 2 recruits we got but I think it could take them a couple years. It is looking like a rebuilding year. Lot of unknowns. hopefully a couple guys surprise us. I think we will be rebuilding even if we had a top recruit or two. (clark or evans freshman level)

Radio interview with Cremo. He talks about UC's interest from the 6:15-6:45 mark

Cremo says that he had is worst game against us, also mentions coaches who will promise one thing and show another. Weirdly I think we will be in his final list of schools. Cincinnati probably the only one who told him they love his toughness and being in right position along with his shooting. Most coaches going to tell him he is going to come in and bomb away. Sounds like he has good head on his shoulders and will know the difference between a genuine offer and bull crap. He will get stronger and will have opportunity to score here. Along with NCAA tournament hopes.

If we get this kid I'd be so pumped. Him, Cumberland, Cane could really score. If Trevor gets it figured out we could really knock down some 3s this year.

This would be my ultimate team for next year. Its going to sound pretty mean as far as Jennifer goes, and I know it's not going to happen but this is truly how I feel.

C. Broome /L. Johnson
J. Cremo / T. Moore
J. Cummberland / K. Williams
T. Scott / M. Diara
N. Brooks / Elie

Redshirt Laquil Hardnett, get a transfer and hold on to Jennifers Scholy.

Again, I don't think Jennifer is going anywhere I just feel like he doesn't give us anything for the most important position on our team. I would rather let Cane go with it and throw Logan more minutes so he can be ready to take control his sophomore year.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Nsoseme is an atrocious FT shooter. Imo we need his minutes as early in the half as possible. Might as well start him I say. It's going to be a TO anytime he gets fouled in the bonus.

Disagree I like Jenifer, takes about as many charges as anyone in the country makes good decisions, very solid player imo also is Cremo a sure thing?

No way he's a sure thing.
