Broome/Jenifer/Johnson
Cumberland/Moore
Williams/Moore
Evans/Scott/Diarra
Brooks/Nsoseme


But in the end we will probably opt for Scott at PF because he can defend multiple positions and grab rebounds. We will play 3 on 5 basketball on offense and we will be more frustrated than ever watching it play out when we get into 5-10 games in the 50's.

If we do what a lot of people hope(d?) we can this year, I will definitely live through some rockfight next year if that's how it goes.

Interesting though is that with Evans, that'd be 10 returning players. I think we will be better than most think and could easily win 25 games.

This Hardnett kid seems like a good fit. I hope we get a commitment from him. Haven't seen a ton of video but seems like he's playing in a pretty competitive area with D1 talent around.

If there were ever a year where we’d be able to land a quality big man, this would be the year with with so much PT available due to Clark and Washington graduating and a new arena. Fingers crossed for a spring surprise in April.

Those things are certainly good things to have in your corner.

By saying this Hardnett is not a quality big man then?

Very few quality big men in this class. Bad class for big men

Wow a weird Dayton troll. Don't get many of these. Go Flyers! If only we could be them!

I think he's saying that most quality big men didn't want to come here in the past because they would not be starting in front of Clark/Ellis/Washington. Theoretically the 4 and 5 should be open next year but knowing Cronin he will simply play Brooks and Scott because "they earned it" by being here first.
