13th Scholarship

Queens_NYC · 03-29-2019, 08:43 AM

Our roster is in great shape for next season at the moment. We have 12 scholarships filled and will have solid depth at every position with the exception of a few question marks at point guard. We could possibly fill in that last little roster hole with a late addition to next year's team who would be eligible to contribute right away.

However, we are due to lose at least 4 players in the summer of 2020 (Cumberland, Scott, Brooks, and Fredericks) and have the potential to upgrade our talent for 20-21 right now by snagging a transfer who would sit out next season.

We could also make a late signing to our 2019 class and treat whoever it may be as a 2020 recruit (ala Prince Gillam) by redshirting him next season.

There is also the option to not touch the scholarship for 19-20 and save it for a 2020 HS/JUCO recruit.

Obviously, since the offseason has just started, this discussion could become irrelevant (or change tones) very quickly if we experience some immediate attrition.

Regardless, with how things stand now, what do you believe to be the best course of action?
