We are in shape to grab a huge 2017 class, even with the scholly limits.

We have 3 scholarships available now.  Let's say we get a high school kid with one of them (Thompson maybe), that leaves 2 that we'll probably fill with grad transfers who will just be here for a year.  Then, we have Richardson and Lydon almost certainly leaving sometime before the 2017 season, with DC2 and Roberson definitely leaving.  That's 4 more schollies for a total of 6.  If Tyus leaves, we're at 7.

6-7 scholarships to work with for 2017 is insane!  It could be a bad thing if we whiff on a bunch of recruits, but I'll count it as a plus.  Unlike at times in the past, we can go to truly elite recruits and say, "hey, we can guarantee you'll start and see the court for 30 mpg, and we have other spots open for elite player X and elite player Y to play alongside you."  Not to get too far ahead of myself, but if ever we were going to land a class with a superstar and/or multiple guys in the top 25, 2017 is it.  Diagne should be available at that time, too.
