I guess you're talking to me but instead of calling me out, you just make a random porst that is covered with horsechit. So, you're horsechit cracks me up. Maybe you will actually read my post and respond.
There are a couple of other posters who complain about not filling every single roster spot, but you are by far the most whiny and obnoxious of them all.
1. As to filling the class, yes. It is important that we fill the class. It is important that we bring in players who can actually play at positions of need. It is important that if we're relying on players to play immediately that they can actually play.
I agree
2. My concern is that we still have no big men who are proven and can actually play. Ignoring Stone's ACL tear, he is not a traditional big man. He likes to shoot. He likes to shoot 3s. He is not a strong rebounder either. He is 6'8 and his game is similar to Omar Sherman. We have a big man that likes too shoot already. We currently have a player with a game similar to Stone's (Sam). So now we have two players who aren't traditional big men.
Valid concern, but who's to say L and co aren't done with big men? They know their roster more than anyone, they know there are still holes to fill.
I have no problem taking Stone as depth. I think it is early to take filler like Stone. I think we still have time. I have a problem if he is our only eligible big man we take via grad transfer. So we wait on a player to recover from an ACL tear in 2019.
It's not too early. We still have 3 open scholarships
3. Can you explain why Stone was losing his minutes to a 6'5 freshman before his injury? Can you explain why Stone's production regressed so much?
No clue, but I trust L in his staff. They clearly think he can help
4. Can you please find a post where someone expects the part in bold? Is this just more horsechit you're making up? There is a tremendous gap between EVERY player must be a top 50 prospect and bringing in quality grad transfers at positions of need.
5. Instead of taking Stone, why not take a chance on a low risk big man? Maybe a center who received some inferior coaching, like Dominik Olejniczak who can actually play 15MPG at center.
We can still take him or someone like him, too.
Are you concerned with the following quote...
Stone had gotten off to a relatively poor start to the 2018-19 season before his injury. He averaged just 6.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, losing out on some of his minutes to freshman Keyontae Johnson.
Though Johnson was signed as a guard and views himself as one, Florida was forced to play him at power forward for much of the season. He did well in Stone's stead, averaging 8.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as a true freshman.
Again, I have no problem taking Stone at the end as filler. I have a problem with taking him and relying on him as an actual big man. Why not take a "low risk" player who can actually play the center position?
