Not adding another player from the portal lowers the ceiling of this team. Everyone on the roster will need to contribute and many of them will need to take Wooga like jumps to be as good as many on this board are thinking/hoping this team can be currently constructed. I can’t wait to hear the early reports on the new guys come summer-ball.
I think we take 1 more, but I also think they really like the 10 they have.
Our current roster is very good, although the bench is very young and inexperienced. The main problem with only rolling with 10 scholarships is it leaves no room for injuries or any other attrition. You can quickly become very thin.
11-13 are useful for practice
And that's fine. Best case for Joseph is he might well be backing up both Pack and George. I don't think anyone has any clue on Jakai's capabilities.
Benz got 19 minutes per game. I see his minutes moving up to 25. Nobody is playing Wong's 33 minutes per game. Wooga probably going to play 30. Watson and Robinson splitting 15 maybe some time from the others if they are good. George getting 20.
That’s not entirely the case. Wong, Wooga, Joseph, even Beverley and Walker were all significant contributors last year. Coach L has been known and actually been most successful in finding transfers who can play at positions of need and fit in with the current core of recruited HS players.
Not many coaches are that concerned with HS recruits these days (except for the obvious standout, one and done types). They see the Portal as the way to get proven players and I can't disagree.
