Potential Incoming Players

I have nothing against McGinnis, but he seems to have the exact same role as Mason. Both are freshman 6' 3/4" guards who shoot a lot of threes at an ok 32-34% clip. We would have three smaller guards with 4 years of eligibility, plus MAW with 3 years.

Yupp, I Like Wes Miller but I would hardly call this recruiting, its more along the lines of hey do you guys want to come play for me at a better school? We have signed soon to be 4 guys and all of them are from UNCG, yes I know Newman was at Clemson, but he was signed to UNCG... I was excited for Newman because he's long and athletic and has great potential and only comes with 2 years, so if he doesn't work he can transfer next year for his grad year. I was okay with Korval because he is basically a one year rental and can hit the 3 and protect the rim, I was even okay with Jarrett Hensely because he was a 4 star top 150 guy and if we signed him a year ago out of high school this whole fan base would have been ecstatic to get him..... But this one, No.. Unless DDJ is transferring then this one is not exciting. That leaves us with 2 scholarships and we desperately need a big. Korval is not a 30+ minute a game guy and will get bullied in the american, Who knows about Lakhin. I know its a long shot to get CJ. This leaves us with MAW, DDJ, Saunders, Mason, Newman and then add in AJ McGinnis.. Theres just not enough minutes to go around and then in the off chance we get CJ?

Honestly I was good with all roster additions to this point, in order to just compete and have a level of comfortability for Miller in year 1. But if this is another UNCG player....it's one too many for me. the AAC is different from the SoCon and we need to think big picture.

McGinnis official.

4 star 6'4" wing Shane Dezonie decommitted from Arizona. We had offered him and are in contact again.

Now we are talking, this is someone I'd be excited to get

Sedz...can you generate a top ranked list of 5 centers and 10 PF's we should be targeting from the portal or Juco that can rebound the ball and defend (based on your metrics sites)?

I am getting worried. I feel like we need to up the chatter on bigs!

Here is the current list of available transfers who played at least 15 mpg and are better than average rebounders for C/PF. The list is down to 18.

I don't know as much about juco, I just look up players we are mentioned to be involved with. Langston Wilson would be the huge prize at PF, but he has offers from a boatload of major programs. We could also bring in a transfer who played less than 15 mpg.
