Where does a potential '15 class of Lovett, Sampson, Doughty, Diallo put Lavin and Co? ...   Obviously a long way to go, but I'd consider that a fine haul all things considered, especially after the disappointment of Briscoe..       I an also hopeful we can add a big either via transfer or Juco, without any drama, if possible..   Doesn't excuse the lack of effort on the trail last season, but I think we can put the Lavin can't recruit thing to bed...  He can obviously still do it....Matter of effort..  Which is shocking and another story all together...   But , he's still getting players here that we haven't seen in a while ( quality and talent wise)

I'm going to assume, maybe wrongfully, that either Jordan or Obekpa return...  If I had to choose, give me Chris... Maybe wishful thinking.

Reasonable post Boo.  That would be a very good class, and should make anyone think twice about letting him go.
Do I think he'll land that kindve a class? No, I dont.  But if he did, and made the tournament, then he should be given an extension.

Also I agree with you that theres a better chance CO returns than jordan.  I get the sense that Obekpa has more reasonable people in his ear than jordan does.

I think we get Lovett and another BIg. How many scholarships are open? By my count, 4 seniors plus thomas's scholarship make 5 open. ]
Samir, Sampson, and  Stewart. Does Henderson and Delarosa get one? As for Jordan, hopefully someone gets through to him. Kid needs to be in school. Obekpa has gotten a lot better but he has no chance to go to the NBA. Not big or skilled enough. That won't change with another year at school. 

Our only scholarship players next year are

Obekpa
JDR?
Jordan
Jones
Balamou
ADR
Amar
Sampson
Doughty

Assuming at least 1, probably 2, of those will not be with the program next year we have 5 more to give out, potentially 6. We should sign 5 more players at a minimum, and a few should be JUCO's to balance things out. Field a full team and the scholarships will open themselves, as we have seen.

I believe this is JDRs last year.

Does a class of Lovett, Sampson, Doughty and greek work for you?

Would rather keep stewart and send jones packing

It doesn't work that way. Stewart can stay without being on scholarship and from what I've seen I wouldn't waste a scholarship on him. Jones is a redshirt sophomore and in order for him to transfer he  would lose a year  of eligibility. Our only chance to shed him would be in his 5th year assuming he graduates in 4.

It's better than what I would've expected in December, but no, that won't cut it.
Imo we need more than 1 front court player.   Theres too big a risk that obekpa leaves, and as much as I'm rooting for him, Adonis is a question mark until he can get into better shape.

Add freeman and I can live with that class, add Diallo and I'm impressed.

For the record I would never cut a kid who is under scholarship and not being paid. Trying to say that you can't just send a guy packing, and he will be on the team for sure until he graduates and can freely transfer.

I really want Mussini.
