You don't see that very often

They had an odd roster last year. Their 6 other rotation players went 6'7, 6'8, 6'8, 6'10, 6'11 and 7'1. They essentially played all year without a traditional 2 guard.

It's a really nice class with a lot of talent. I'm going to cherry pick the top rankings for these guys coming out of high school (either 247 or 247 composite whichever is better because I feel like it)


Tari Eason - 114
Gabe Madsen - 152
Mike Saunders - 175
David DeJulius - 107


Rapolas Ivanauskas - 145

What an outstanding week for Brannen.

I think we've solidified our roster as top 2 or 3 in the AAC for next season with expectations to make the NCAA tournament (granted DDJ is eligible).

Pretty quickly we've gone from next season being rebuilding year to looking pretty solid with a VERY solid future.


This system is going to be a lot of fun for guards and wings. I think a lot of them are going to want to come here.

Vogt
MAW
Harvey
Davenport

Eason
Gabe
Saunders
Mason
DeJulius
Rap


Not bad for the first 2 (and not counting last years grad transfers).

Bench is deeep. No clue who starters are.

Dejulius. Maw. Keith. Rap. Vogt. Would be my guesss.

With Harvey first off bench.

Let's not forget late to the table in 2019 and late for building relationships for 2020. 2021 was supposed to be his first attempt at a class with little to no handicap.

MAW is intriguing to me. He does better on the ball and I'm not sure I really like his off-ball game. But maybe the faster overall pace will fit more to his game. Having to be a 2 with Jarron as the 1 can't be too easy for guys that aren't just jump shooters.



We're gonna wear other teams backcourts out.

I’d rather diarra start. Let’s see if he figured it out. His ceiling is the highest if he can ever stop the dumb things.

Agreed... His defense could be elite... But then again Harvey started playing great defense at end of yr.

Man we better run teams and press.
