Starting to sound that way.

As for the first part of your post, I think it all comes down to # of available scholarships.  I think we've got three open spots right now.  That total would rise by any attrition that the roster has after the season.

Howard getting the boot?  Lydon and / or Battle to the NBA?  Chukwu due to injury?  Please note that I'm not predicting all of these things to happen.  I doubt Battle is making the jump, for example [but nothing would surprise me].  Maybe Lydon comes back [seems unlikely].  We won't know until the dust settles.

Let's just say--for hypothetical's sake--that Lydon goes pro and Howard bails.  By my count, that would give us 5 slots to fill.

We offered Howard Washington today, presumably that's a committable offer.  From what I understand, the staff prioritizes both Ayala and Duarte over him.  I assume that they'd take 2 out of those 3, but not all 3?  Would they take all 3 if they all want to commit?  :noidea:

If that happens, would they take the SF?  How many are they setting aside for 5th year transfers, or would adding two of those guards negate the need to add a guard 5th year transfer?

Lots of unknowns right now.  Things will get interesting if Washington acts upon that offer and commits soon.  However things shake out, we have to add LOTS of depth at all of the perimeter positions.  Starters and backups.
