Filling out the last scholarships (Hankins Commit, Castlin Commit, Welage Commit)

[kellernr]

Didnt realize we will still have 4 open scholarships to fill for next season.

Senior - Gates
Juniors - Q and Jones
Soph - Naji, Scruggs and Harden
Frosh - Kennedy, James, Walter

Hopefuly Steele is able to get a grad transfer and a JUCO player. Lookin at the current roster im worried we will be weak at the 5. Jones is always hurt and Walter looks like a project. Any 3-4 star highschool seniors left the havent committed anywhere yet?

Depth going to be an issue next year. We need 1 (or 2) grad transfers.

Don’t have any information, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw some type of movement/announcement this week or next. However, I do feel that for this next year we are going g to have to give Coach Steele a pass. The 2018 class doesn’t have a who,e lot of promise left in it, but Xavier (according to 24/7 and VC sites) is high on the list of many top 100 players for 2019. Would hope to see a grad transfer and a Juco being added for immediate help next year. Xavier is in the position to promise significant playing time, especially in the forward/center positions.

I think Walters will be good by his junior and senior seasons. Need jones to to get his body in shape this off-season. He might be looking at having to play 25-30 min per game unless we go 4 guards with Gates out there. Are there any more kanter brothers?

Walters may have to contribute next year. Learning on the job big fella. At a minimum, come in and get some boards.

Priority list (from player personnel perspective, only) for Coach Steele has to be:

1) Grad transfer 5
2) Grad transfer shooter, at any position 1-4
3) Probably a sit one- play two type guy that will help solidify the F4 team that is the Q, Rique, Naji, Paul core for the '19 team.

Sorry, but I think you're going to have to settle for playing goalie in the NHL at this point.

Or it could be a JUCO with two years to play who could help out both years. Those JUCO's tend to not really come into their own (if at all) until their second year, so the right guy (if he's out there) could work out well in this plan.
