Which recruit do you most want?
« on: April 14, 2014, 08:27:30 AM »
Assuming Obekpa and Greene are both on the team for 2015-15.  Which recruit do you most want?

1)  Cunningham:  I don't see a lot of points coming from the small forward position during the 2014-15 season.  Based on what I have read, he seems to get a lot of points on put backs.  Haven't seen anything about his outside shot, which worries me.  Neither Sir Dom  nor Balamou pose a threat from the perimeter, which allows the defense to play off them and prevent the dribble drive and also allows the defense to get rebounds. 

Having four years of eligibility helps balance the scholarship load.

2)  Keith Thomas:  This rebounding machine would be a great get, particularly with our lack of shooting.  Ample opportunity for put-backs

3) Marlon Jones:   Can't say I know much about it, but he brings decent size and 4 years of eligibility which hopefully allows him to develop into an all-around big man.

Def Thomas.   He won't average 16 but his excellent rebounding shouldn't be diminished much at the D1 level.

If I had to choose one it would be Thomas. 

I would like to see lav lock up 2-3 guys with size, 2 guards and tell Obekpa he is not welcome back

We havent heard much about getting '14 guards which I really hope he does to balance the roster out going forward

Sounds like Thomas is what we need, but I'm never a fan of one freshman in an incoming class. So I'm going w Cunningham.

Cunningham.   He can rebound too, but is a top 100 who also has some offense.  I wouldn't mind both he and Thomas.  Cunningham can play some 3 for us.

That's exactly how I feel.   He's more well rounded, and can contribute on the offensive end a lot more than I expect Thomas would.
That said - I want both lol.

Thomas. Think his hard work and effort would rub off on CO.

I think Horford would help the most right away. Experienced player who was a role player on a very successful team.
