Re: Thompson, I'm not getting my hopes up because most, if not all, of SU's recent commitments have come before the spring of a prospect's senior year. Of course, this year is a little different because SU did not have a scholarship available when they started going hard after this kid.

SU's front court appears crowded, but we should be able to make a reasonable sales pitch for minutes being available at the 5 next year. Coleman is still an injury risk and had a high foul rate this year. I'm hoping Chukwu will make a big impact, but he is not a sure thing. Even if he plays well, SU's centers are often hung out to dry on D and pick up a lot of fouls. Splitting the center minutes among three guys, while not ideal, is plausible.

If he expects to play 30 mpg...oh well. He should end up at at a place other than SU or Kansas.

The problem is that there are very few top 100 guards or wings available. ESPN's top 100 only includes one SG and zero PGs.

I'm down with the 5th year transfer plan. I would also like to see the staff get a little cutthroat and put the full court press on VJ King. Louisville is in some trouble. Pitino's future is uncertain. Autry should have very solid connections with him because he coached at his high school.

Call me old fashioned, but hiring a coach from the high school ranks should yield more than a single prospect with a RSCI rank of 79.
