As others have mentioned, there 2 schollies out there. At least one will either go to another guard (Beverly, Gaffney, Newman) or a combo forward (hopefully Beren). The other possibiliy Steele will hold on and see what shakes out in the spring with decommits and transfers. Here is the depth chart next year as I see it (pure speculation based on seniority and rankings, also as we know positions are fluid).
PG Q Goodin, D Bishop
SG P Scruggs, K Kennedy
SF E Harden, D James
PF N Marshall, D Ramsey
C T Jones, Z Freemantle, D Miles

I hope Naji bulks up if he's playing PF.
...he went up late, and I was already up there.

I don’t think Lyons would have been a HOFer had he stayed. He was good, but doesn’t measure up to the best players we’ve had. Frease came up short for sure. We HAD to play him due to lack of other options. So he racked up some stats but I wouldn’t say he ever had even one productive year.
Almost certain that Redford didn’t have the record for 3’s

Kenny had an offensive rating of 112.2 in 2011 which was second on the team. His eFG% was 54.9 which put him in the top 250 in the country. His DR% was 21.8 which put him at 110th in the country. He had productive years but people thought he should have been averaging 20 and 10 so nothing he did was ever good enough.

I know everything shouldn't be a measuring stick, but it's the off-season, I figured some discussion would liven up the place and just get us a little more excited for X basketball. Like I said, on paper, I realize that things happen, life happens, etc. But I figured it'd be a fun little talking point since there's not much else going on right now haha.
I don't necessarily think this was the best class ever, but I figured it would be interesting to see how it compared with others, obviously we know nothing until the guys get here and what not, but just kind of mulling over, I think I have it as these three or four worth debate (going with 247 rankings:
2011 - Dez Wells (59th), Jalen Reynolds (100th), Dee Davis (103rd)
2014 - Trevon Blueitt (39th), Makinde London (88th), JP Macura (102nd), Edmond Sumner (106th), Sean O'Mara (156th)
2017 - Paul Scruggs (34th), Naji Marshall (58th), Elias Harden (136th)
2019 - Zach Freemantle (103rd), Daniel Ramsey (109th), Dahmir Bishop (123rd), Dieonte Miles (184th)
Obviously 2019 will change with players moving up and down, but now that I've typed it up and looked at it, I think it's definitely between the 2014 and 2017 class on paper as the best. Pretty interesting stuff to just see I guess more than anything. I don't know. I am happy with the hiring of Travis Steele and I do believe we are trending on the right path, these aren't recruits that will give us the last 2% as of yet (per XVILLE's saying), but I do think it's a solid basis, and with Odom committed, if we could somehow get another home run with him, it would beautiful.
