2018-2019 roster

Sr- (3)....Sanders/Doorson/Mensah
Jr- (4)....Carter/Onamuryi/Thiam/Bullock
So (4)....Doucoure/Baker/Kiss/Johnson
Fr (2).....Mathis/Harper


PG-SANDERS
PG-MENSAH
PG/SG-Baker
SG/SF-Mathis
SF/SG-Harper
SF/SG-Kiss
SF/SG-Bullock
SF-Thiam
PF/SF-Onamuryi
PF-Carter
C-Johnson
C-Doucoure
C-DOORSON

Players of need

1.) Point Guard....Yes We have Geo. But that will be it. No one else on roster to play the one...

2.) Low Post power forward/center....With only three bigs plus Onamuryi....definitely need another big

So...these two positions, without doubt could be well filled with Paul Mulchay and Eric Dixon. Sure coach P is selling them exactly on that...there is significant early PT for both of these 4 star recruits at Rutgers

With the third ship...thinking best available. Might lean toward the front court since the year after you lose Carter, Onamuryi, and Thiam....and are left with Doucoure and Johnson plus whatever you sign in the class of 2019. But if a Andre Hyatt is available, you take and fit later...

Thoughts???

I don't think Bullock will be a part of the teams first 7-8-9 players in 2019... I have a feeling after this season Bullock is a transfer to a school such as....Monmouth...Stoney Brook etc. all good fits...great kid but really is a tweeter in the B1G...If he were a Rashod Kent type athlete he would be somebody here.

a 7 foot center, and a shooting guard that can consistently hit the three
 
A couple of 4 or 5 stars at any position would be nice. ;)
 
Ironically, I had this discussion the other day with another diehard and RU is really looking at a tough replacement for Deshawn Freeman as far scoring is concerned....the best case fix is that Shaq Carter does some of what Freeman does and if that is the case, then you have to look at Mulcahy to be a distributor to make others around the roster better.

The best case scenario is Mathis, Kiss, Thiam, Carter, Harper, Baker etc are your scorers and Doucoure, Eugene and others are your rebounding/defense....I think the help on the front court is more important and it only makes sense if you have a mediator that doesn't need to score but can score if you need to....that's where Mulcahy makes the most sense....

We need to replace Freeman’s rebounding ability. Not sure if that is accomplished by Shaq but he can help. I have a feeling there’s guys we don’t know about just yet but from the guys we do, Mulcahy, Dixon and Hyatt would be fantastic.

Khalif Battle and Khalil Whitney are also players Rutgers has been on for a while.
 
Confident that Kiss replaces Mike Williams, which is a huge statement.

Ill have to track Carters season to make an anywhere reasonable estimate on what he can contribute.
