2019 Recruiting: All You Need To Know

[asiseeit]

At THIS point in time I think AM is ahead of IC. You never know when he is going to be needed as
both JE and MU are foul prone and I like knowing we have another BIG defender available. Now, a
couple more bad halves like he had the second half Saturday and RT's stock goes down. His only
value is his ability to take care of the ball and he was very careless the second half Saturday. Now
that CM appears to be gone we need a dead eye shooter. GM commented that Busse was a
great shooter. Would be looking at a 5th year transfer who can really shoot also for next year.

Looks like WSU is even now.

Expect that to change again in the near future though.

[Shockm]

GM commented that Tusse was a great shooter.

My brain must not be working. Who is Tusse?

[1979Shocker]

Maybe a nickname for Tate bUSSE?

[asiseeit]

my bad - mis spelled

Interested in what y'all are thinking in case we recruit 2-3 players for next year's squad. Let's just speculate for fun that we still sign 2-3 more players. What position would you address and to even out the classes would you prefer transfers, Juco players, or the very best High School or Prep players we could find? We lose Duff and SMJ. I really like the 4 players we have added for sure. Actually, I hope we focus on some new bigs that are primed and ready to help us right away. We should be improved as a team for sure then. Name 3 players you know we are recruiting that you hope we sign and, or, the 3 spots you would use for the 3 positions based on what we can see now please. I'm curious to see what you think.

So I am aware of DeAntoni Gordon, Tyson Etienne and Noah Fernandez but drawing blank on the 4th addition. Who am I missing? Are you referring to Teddy Allen?

[forevershockerfan]

yes, he was the 4th I was referring to.

[SHOXAAC]

We need a Carl Hall-like Juco player as a 4. That is all we would need IMO in addition to what we have in the fold. The juco player might not even be on our radar yet, as has been the case in the past with juco players.

I agree, however we could certainly use an exceptional shooter and defender at the 2 as well. We have lots of potential PGs with Torres, Burton, and Fernandes. Two SGs in Stevenson, and Etienne, 2 very good SFs with Allen and Dennis. Echineque and Udeze are formidable at the 5. Gordon will be a freshman. Brown looks like a role player right now. IPBC has some real potential at the 4 and 5, but need to see more. Midtgaard has a lot of development left before he can contribute, but as the 4th big, we don’t need anymore centers.

[asiseeit]

2 shooters and a quality center otherwise pass

[wusphlash]

Seems like some wanna throw out the babies with the bath water every year. Maybe we just need to be patient with the ones already here. Do you really want 6 or 7 new players on the floor next year as well?

[pinstripers]

We need a juco 4. Maybe 6'8", 6'9"

[SHOXAAC]

We need a juco 4. Maybe 6'8", 6'9"

THIS!!!

[asiseeit]

I will say this. If the two new PG's are not better options than RT we will be in trouble but I believe both will be.
Second, I think Gordon will be a great fit to replace MM but also need a 6'9 Hall type to play there too. RB is too
small for that spot and can't shoot well enough for the SF spot. Third, we need a dead eye three point shooter
like AR. Fourth, if JE returns healthy we will be fine but would never pass up a 3/4* center. So, MY wish list is
a big banger/rebounder to compliment Gordon at the four, another AR type, and a center but only a 3* or above

[1979Shocker]

Instead of another AR type, I would go for another LS type.

[pinstripers]

Well, everybody seems to think that this guy will leave, or that guy will leave, but most think, ES, Mo, Dex, Teddy and so on, will return. I think it's possible that one of the "keepers" decides that another year in hell is too much. Could happen. Just a thought.

Good luck. They are few and far between this year at the talent level that could help us

You have nailed what I have been saying. I do feel that Dennis and Stephenson will be very capable long-range shooters next season.
