[QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 1806216, member: 405"]
And get Quade Green at the point, Hamidou Diallo at SG, Jordan Tucker at SF and Nick Richards at C - a hopeful but realistic list - do you realize we would still only have 10 guys on the roster for 2017?  I think we would still be looking at a grad transfer or two again next year.

With no defections at all, in 2017 we would have:

Juniors:  Tyler Lydon, Pascal Chukwu, Frank Howard

Sophomores:  Tyus Battle, Matt  Moyer, Taurean Thompson

Freshmen??

We obviously need a big class of 4 or 5 to make up for early defections next year.  It's a crucial year, obviously.  But we do seem to put together those big 5 man classes every few years.

Even if we load up next year, to keep a program healthy, you need 3 guys per class moving forward who are contributors, not projects.

If we pull all four of our top targets (at least, as I've been reading the tea leaves), we would look like this:

C:  Chuwu, Richards
:  Lydon?, Moyer, Thompson, Tucker
G: Battle?, Green, Diallo, Howard

Looking pretty good.
