Youth movement continues...a base to build and grow

[Scarlet Shack]

3 sophs and 6 frosh next year...7 of 9 players 3 star or higher (sanders)

A nucleus to build on....

Like the youth movement...this is now eddies team in year 3

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Need more pieces in this class....however it gets done....JUCO, late blooming senior, 5th year Prep....

 

[SkilletHead2]

What pieces do you think, Hawk? Where are we looking solid and where are the gaps?

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Agree hawk

11 on ship now

I would like us to give 1 to a 5th year and 1 to a JUCO

That gives us 3 to give next year

And while it would only be 1 to give the year after, you would think that one or two of the nine frosh and sophs will transfer....so we would have 2-3 to give the year after

Would love to see Ennis come aboard. I think that would help provide some experience and leadership to the roster.

Anyone think we are still pursuing Freeman with Laurent in the fold? Maybe we turn the heat up on one of the guards, Ellison or Minlend. Chances our we're not landing both Ellison and Freeman but if we can land one of the two and Minlend/5th year/JUCO I would be satisfied.

Wouldn't have guessed 7 of 9 were 3 stars, I'd just like to see some resemblance of improvement this fall. Let' see Eddie try and develop this young nucleus.

I would think, looking at the roster, with 2 to give, RU would need another guard - especially one who can either shoot really well from the outside, or could play some point guard, and a power forward type (Freeman would qualify - Ellison too?). RU only has 1 true power forward type on the roster now, in Foreman. Etou could play some PF, but with him gone RU is short. Diallo, Doorson and Lewis are all really Centers. Against some teams you could have 2 of the 3 in the line-up at the same time, but not against any team whose $ slot can shoot from the outside or who can drive from the perimeter.
