And what's up with this notion that just bc your 7foot you gonna make an impact on the court. This Vogt guy is undoubtedly gonna be a foul casualty and a nightmare defending pick and rolls at least I feel... But we will see. As of right now the only thing he is is tall

Based on how Vogt was used last year Brannen might just like to have a big on the roster for certain games. The majority of the minutes for nku last year went to guys under 6'8, but in 5 games Vogt played 20+ minutes. I think he wants to play his style, but he recognizes some teams could punish him for it so he keeps a big around to combat that. |

A couple of thoughts on Harvey. It's been VERY hush hush from the coaches standpoint so much so that not many people reporting on UC recruiting were even aware of the situation. So a thought came up after looking around that maybe they just don't want some other program to come in last second and kill this deal. Maybe a team like Kansas etc. I would guess with the Hardnett decision things are either very close to being wrapped up or already wrapped up. Everything is hush hush on our end probably by strategy but there is enough info out there that he has 4 crystal balls to UC and those other experts don't need to keep things on the down low.
Another thing Harvey was already thinking 2020 was his class so reclassifying last minute I would imagine he is going to be okay with not getting major minutes this year. He may see the huge opportunity to be in line for major minutes when the Cumberlands leave. And even with a "logjam" on the wing if he is the next best player to the Cumberlands and Williams...he can still probably eke out 15 minutes or so depending on others. I don't see Davenport or MAW being first year stars and we already have seen enough of Moore to say he may not be that hard to beat out either. |

Tre Scott and Diara can both shoot a little and they can both jump. And we can't sleep on Gillam. |

It’s pretty clear brannen is trying to upgrade the talent level on this roster. Aside from Vogt it looks like he is doing a fairly good job but If he thinks Vogt can give them something, I’ll trust him. Even though I have my doubts.

Brannen seems to be recruiting like he doesn't care about having bigs on the floor. We've added plenty of talented guards and two centers (Vogt, Sorolla) who look like they won't belong on the court. We may only have 3 players taller than 6'5" playing this year (Scott, Diarra, Sorolla) - and only one of them is proven. That looks less like options and more like a team that will have major problems against teams that have capable big men. Big men are the most difficult players to recruit (more limited supply) and having quality big men is often what separates low/mid-majors from high-majors. With their ability to block shots and grab rebounds, big men can have a much larger impact on the game. Big men also generally take longer to develop, so we are probably looking at a multiple year issue. We are going to have to hope that a lot of our guys play bigger than they are. Otherwise I can see us getting badly beaten on the boards and that's going to make winning difficult. |
