I'd say Vogt, Sorrola and Iorio are all career backup/role player types. Vogt could be an exception because he is from NKU and Sorolla because he is just a one year place-holder. But if we get Sorolla and Iorio it's starting to look like a trend. But who knows maybe we will get Coleman and another athletic guy and the trend looks completely different. Still early to really make judgements, but it's basketball dead season so I've got nothing better to do then look for trends in very small data sets.
the only thing I would say is Sorolla and Iorio are just one year guys so I don't mind that. That really isn't establishing an identity. I like Scrubb, Madsen, T Williams, D Johnson, Wilcher, etc. Davenport is already on board. But if we can land 2-3 of these other guys I could start to see a plan come together. Maybe Saunders can develop a consistent shot under the right coach.

Obvioulsy if we get the Cumberlands it's only a one year deal as well. We have to replace them in 2020. We have a lot of guards we need to get this year and next.

One other thing to consider is the late grad transfer in the portal. Guys who finish up late who we don't even know about yet. There may not be as much competition for them with other teams filling out their roster already. We could see something nice land in our lap just because we were late to the game. I definitely want to hold at least one scholly to see what pops up. If nothing pops up we can use it in 2020.

I think we are at 8 roster spots now. Cumberland is 9 (please). Another Cumberland would be 10 (pretty please). A PG and a transfer C is 12.

A source you can’t identify? Can you hint? On the team, on staff, family, friend, etc?
