You've said this several times relative to 2018.    I don't understand where you are coming from here;
 
  For 2018-19 we will have 12 total scholarships and have the following committed:
 1.  Frank Howard
 2.  Paschal Chuckwu
 3.  Tyus Battle
 4.   Matthew Moyer
 5.   Taurean Thompson
 6.   Howard Washington
 7.   Oshae Brissett
 8.   Bourama Sidibe

At most we can add 3 more this year that would effect 2018-19.    I know people would like to see us add more players, but I don't see it as a certainty that we are going to pick up 3 guys.   If we did that and they were all players with more than one year of eligibility (ie. no grad transfers) we would have 1 available for 2018-19; if noone among the group left early (which looking at our roster turnover the last few years would seem highly unlikely).   Maybe we should save this argument for after Tucker and two more underclassmen actually commit.

But to run with your point for a minute, this is why some argued against the Howard Washington offer.    If the staff wasn't convinced that he could help right away having him on the roster could impact our ability to take a better player down the road without much upside in the interim.
