UC's Early Signees

[bearcat jeff]

Nice snippets from Coach Davis on each player. This is a very good trio to restock our front line. I believe by seasons end many will be happy DeBerry signed early. A guy with his size who can play and now "gets it" is going to garner a ton of attention as the season progresses.

Moore is the jewel but Clark and Deberry are both going to be really good for UC and the 3 together give us just what we need.

I agree, this is the class that we needed. Coupled with the current freshman class this is going to be a tough team for a while. If Morman redshirts does that mean there won't be an additional signing for the 2014 class?

I wondered that too. Is Strickland included? Does that put us one over?

Redshirting does not effect number of scholarships available. They have 4 scholarships for 2014. 3 were signed yesterday so they still have one available if they choose to use it.

Does anybody have a clue as to what they will do as far as a position of need with the last scolly?

If Morman and Strickland are in fact added to that class they may change their focus for the final spot. They have already added 3 front court players. Add Strickland that would be 4. Morman (I still dont fully understand the reasoning behind his redshirt given what he brings to the table on both offense and defense) fills the impact guard spot. I think before those two were redshirting they may have been looking at another Juco big man or hybrid like Titus. Now I'm not so sure. I think they may go big or go home. What I mean by that is really go after someone they think is a big time impact player and if they dont get them they will just pocket the scholarship for 2015 to even out the classes. Interesting situation. Two players Im most interested in at this point is Eubanks and Osama. Not sure how involved with Eubanks we are at this point. Osama is really early in the process.

Should Moore be considered a 4 or a 5? I know Clark is pretty obviously a 3.

I would call Clark a hybrid 4. Moore can really shoot it for a guy his size. I think UC envisions him as a 4. The real challenge will be to get Quadri to accept that role. His knock up to this point is that he drifts to the perimeter too often.

Sounds like Yancy.
