i got a question, we have 3 Men's basketball signees and are working on a 4th... we have 12 scholarship players now with no Seniors... so we have 1 open scholarship.... are we planning on doing some processing like Bama does in football? I guess, realistically Peters and Q could go NBA to open up the spots, but I really don't see them as NBA players...I know some very early mock drafts have Peters as a 1st rounder, but he is a very streaky shooter and Q would have to be a 2 guard... but it looks like, some processing may take place, which I am fine with.

Who is this 4th guy we are working on? We have 11 on roster right now. This is college basketball. I think transfer average is well above 1/team/season now.

Must be pretty new to following this. Rarely did Stans not start out with ~ 15 guys. Just how college hoops crootin works if you ever want to actually start a season with 13.

And yes, I’m in favor of making the numbers work after we see what happens with this season. Still would like to see us Chase an elite 5...

It is almost inevitable that either Peters will leave to the NBA or at least one player will transfer due to playing time. Peters has been a top 15 pick in some mock drafts this fall.

As of now, Peters isnt a lottery pick much less a 1st tpunder in the '18 draft. Even taking into account his play this summer(which probably very few here even knew about at the time), he isnt yet a lottery pick. He will need a strong season individually and also need the team to not suck(cuz he kinda helps lead it).

Q is a grest college player. Not really sure tje ceiling is there for the NBA. He seems like the ultimate college player.

My guess is a couple transfers due to PT and being pushed out based on progress.
And if Peters blows up and shows consistent play, then all tje vetter for him and thebteam's roster shakeout.

Huh? I think you've got that backwards...

Do i?

I am saying not only do i not think Peters is currently a lottery pick in the '18 draft, but i dont think he is a 1st rounder either.
Again, not currently. He could play into the 1st round and even lottery, sure.

I hope you are not talking about Hamilton as a 4th. Hamilton was used to light a fire under Woodard and get him to sign early. Now that Woodard has signed our class is complete.
