jake, I think this is the new trend. if you can't get 5 star one and doners then getting experienced players who are willing to transfer is a good tactic. Especially if you have playing time to offer and only need a player or two to put you in position to make a run. It's a way of putting a very select group together without landing a team of one and doners.

As much as I would love to get the Martin twins we have depth issues this year (potentially). If we were able to get the twins we would have 3 players who can't play this year and 3 bigs who are either un tested or not very good. We are thin on the wing with 2 of the three either untested or average at best.

Injury or foul trouble could be a real issue if we don't grab a big and a wing that can play.

I do like this trend of hitting on a solid freshman. Clark, then Evans, now Cumberland.

Having guys in the program a year before they play either through transfer (Kyle, Broome) or redshirt (Scott). It matures the team and keeps the culture going.

I would love to fill the roster with 4 and 5 star guys but realistically it's not going to happen. So this seems the next best thing.

When is the last time we weren't excited about a signing? Every one I can think of recently, you can absolutely see what Coach Cronin and staff are trying to do. Encouraging to already have a spring commitment from a top target.

word was Coach wanted to get more athletic in the backcourt and this is certainly a step in that direction.

So who is UC actively recruiting to potentially fill the 2 remaining scholarships?

Transfers - Martin twins
JUCOs - Devin Davis and Niem Stevenson

Anyone else?

Would love a big that could play in 2016 for depth. Davis would be nice.
