Aaron Womack in the portal

[CuseFaninVT]

High school recruits who are ready to be in a 9-ish man rotation from day 1.

2nd, 3rd and 4th year guys (who were those freshmen) that stay due to NIL and playing time.

Portal additions from mid majors and P5s looking for $$$ and/or playing time.

Seems like that gets you to 12-ish.

Feels like the 2nd, 3rd years guys will be looking to upgrade every year as well for money and playing time. The constant dual focus on recruiting and retention is going to be exhausting.

We've been in that space for a few seasons already. Freeman stayed, Starling stayed. Looks like Kiyan and Sadiq will stay, and maybe Kingz if he's eligible.

2-3 freshmen who can play, 3-4 vets who stay, 3-4 portal additions. There's your 9+ man rotation.

Constant churn, but that's the way the sport is these days.

Don’t you need 10 players to actually practice?

If we didn't recruit Womack this year we still would have had...

Starling
White
Freeman
Kingz
Betsey
Anthony
Fennell
Souare
George
Kyle
Zephir

11 guys. All of whom met the criteria I laid out above.

I don't think having enough guys to practice is an issue in not recruiting HS kids who won't play.

I'm really excited to see Sadiq under GMac, but good god we need some shooting.

I don’t think you’re understanding my point. Doesn’t matter.

JB didn't always seem to think so.
