How are we going to field a team next year with only 7 players?

I feel like we need more players on our basketball team in order to compete with Boston College and Pitt.

Yes! We must panic today for clearly there are no more opportunities to sign meaningful players!

Well we have 9 already so, there’s that.
 
Am I one of the that is genuinely concerned that this roster kind of stinks and lacks any real high end impact we were expecting? It currently lacks so much that I can't see how we will compete for anything other than maybe a .500 record. Yes, there's still time to add, and we may get some overseas stud, but to this point, with the money that has supposedly been available to Gmac, I am completely underwhelmed. Hopefully there are still big time players coming, but that's really only a hope at this point.

A high caliber PG and C are not on the roster. Dual seems like a quality backup at multiple spots, but lacks the offensive ceiling to be more than a complementary piece. I won't include Moesch as an option, as it's unfair to expect much out of a freshman these days, and hopefully the staff isn't setting unrealistic expectations. A starter still seems like a major need.

At Center we have a decent Siena big who's probably more of a PF and a skinny kid from overseas that does have good upside, but who knows how much he can contribute immediately. Without more beef or offensive additions, how exactly will we hold up in the paint? We're going to get physically killed by some teams. Sadiq as the only other current 'big guy' is really unfortunate. We need at least 2 bigger bodies still (C and ), both of who can play big minutes. Watching the tourney, the successful teams had multiple bigs, guys that can bang and battle inside. I don't see anything close to that on our roster yet.

We have a lot of wings, but questionable shooting, at best. I'm guessing between Doty, Kiyan, MMM, Tobiason and maybe even a little Sadiq, we can successfully cover the 2/3, though shooting is the MAJOR concern, along with defense. I also don't believe we have enough athleticism on the perimeter but that is TBD.

While we all hope and expect GMac to be a significant x's and o's upgrade, having these kind of deficiencies sure seems like an issue...
