It's possible one of our guards falls way behind the competition and doesn't get on the court much, and voluntarily transfers. I could also see a situation where they all perform well and no one wants to leave, which is a good problem to have. This isn't a huge issue, and it will have to work itself out in some fashion. I would just be focusing more on upperclassmen than young guys to balance classes.

Assuming everyone does stay an extra year, that may be a good problem to have. Though I'd bet at least a few guys either leave after their "senior year" to play at a pro-level (NBA or Euro), voluntarily transfer due to lack of minutes or transfer to play up a level.
I think at center it is more important to get a younger guy (assuming Lakhin is probably gone) then it is to maintain class balance. Koval is gone after the year no matter what, we don't want to have another guy also leave and need to add two centers again next year. Ideally, we add a JR (Collin Smith would be nice) and a developmental SO/FR at center. |

I have no idea what's going on with Lakhin. I guess my baseline assumption is DDJ and Lakhin are staying until I hear otherwise. If they leave, I would look to replace them in kind (DDJ with a senior, Lakhin with an underclassman). I also want to add any good rebounder of any age.

Remember Wes doesn’t play nobody over 25mpg, so telling recruits it’s 10-12 deep rotation wouldn’t be lying.

I hadn't seen anyone else note that, went to check UNCG average minutes. It would be more accurate to say he rarely has anyone average over 28 minutes and pretty much never over 31. Seems like he does tend to go 11-12 deep getting minutes, with 9-10 averaging at least 10 minutes.

I mentioned the 25 minute cap about a week ago:

If you want to run and play tough defense, you need to rotate in fresh bodies. Looks like Miller follows though on that. |

Yep, and it should make foul trouble less of an issue.

Over at BCN Lobot mentioned the new transfer rules might affect Koval. Players who have already transferred (including graduates) will not be automatically granted another free transfer. Koval will probably need a waiver. I think he will probably get one due to the coaching change, similar to Vogt being able to follow Brannen without sitting a year. Something to keep an eye on though.

Hopefully he gets one, seems like a waste to give him two years of scholarship to play one year. He's not that good of a player.
