2016 General Recruiting

[#BearcatNation]

I'm worried about our front court. Hoping for a top 100 PF/C in 2017.

I share your concern. I'd like to get a 5 like Ellis who doesn't need to have anything run for him and can be used primarily for rebounding, rim protection and ball screens. Hopefully Brooks is in good enough shape to do some of that at some point. But I worry about his mobility.

They need to use the 2 open schollys on grad transfers that can play right away in 2016. If they suck who cares, they're only here for a year and you weren't gonna use the 2 schollys anyway.

Just disappointing that the staff cannot complete a roster.

I've been a huge Mick supporter and defender but I couldn't agree more with you. At some point he has to bring in a class that catches the eye of not only fans but of future recruits. It seems he's good early in the process but can't finish a class off.

I also agree with this. After our starting five this year, we are very thin. Its concerning.

filling scholly's isn't hard finding the right player is the issue. Especially when you have a set line up. I actually like the fact he won't give free rides away.

We only have 2 players on the roster who have averaged 8.5 ppg in D1 basketball. If our lineup is set with this group, then how could it ever not be set? You seem pretty confident with what we have. Hopefully it works out. But 10 active players, with most of them having little or no D1 experience makes me incredibly nervous.

Yep it's been almost a full year since we got Washington, Cumberland, and Brooks all in a row. And we've landed 0 2016 players since. I agree with you guys that pocketing 2 scholarships a year gets annoying.

I think high character kids that wouldn't mess up the chemistry of this team must be difficult to find.

2 players with 8.5ppg is a bit misleading, considering Evans averaged 8.4 and Broome is in the wings.
