you may not see a issue sitting behind for a year but he might. Especially if he can walk into major minutes immediately. I'm not implying we wouldn't recruit over the top of Scott. Im saying he may develope into a very good player. Many may disagree but immediate playing time is huge in recruiting. Some want guarantees. Not saying this is the case but playing time will be a factor in my opinion. It's also why I feel it will be tough to land a Williams or McNeill. You have Evans,Moore,JJ,Cumberland,Broome. Backcourt seems crowded.

I'd have to believe that Williams or McNeill would have the edge over Jenifer or Moore. Or they'd at least have a big opportunity to earn the minutes, since 2 of the 5 you named will have never played a game at UC at the same time Williams or McNeill would be eligible.

I'm certain they would consider it but they may opt for immediate playing time with know obstacles. Suppose a P5 offers and the guy manning their spot is a senior? That certainly wouldn't help our cause would it?
