Message: [QUOTE="KevMonstah, post: 5690782, member: 327"] you need as many people to return as possible, or at least as many people as a coach wants, so that you are not constantly churning over a roster. SU is not UK or Duke or Ark or some other program that can continually bring in 7, 8 guys on a yearly basis, or bring in a class of 5 or 6 because they want to run off, er, "give guys the talk". not that i think SU has the NIL resources to go chasing classes like those schools do, [B]so, they need to develop guys,[/B] and that kinda suffers when you're running off the team. and this has been their problem for a long time. and i'll be honest, i can't keep track of who all can even come back. i'd take the entire freshman class back, you're not going to go and find depth pieces like betsey and souare easily so keep them, zephyr, if he wants to stay, let him. i believe jj is done, think the same of kyle and kingz, figure donnie is gone one way or another, and then you gotta decide with george. is he great? no, is he likely better than who you're signing out of hs (yes) or who might come with a new coach (prob). but look, this team has needed a PG for a few years, and they can't develop one with two former PGs on staff, so i'd not exactly be excited about running a reasonably effective one off. if both kingz and kyle could get another year, i'd certainly keep both. do i want everyone on the roster back, no. do i think everyone WOULD come back, also no. i do think this team had way more potential than it showed. i hate coaching without making any attempt to develop players like womack, fennell, and diawara. if you got other teams who can develop some of the stiffs they got into reasonably effective players, even if they are effective only against the orange, this staff ought to be able to do it also, so that they can play against some of the teams on the schedule. there is no real at all that diawara cannot get into the game against wake, and prevent schwieger from going for 11p, 4r, and 2a against SU, which doubled his season averages on ALL of those, including doubling his FG% up to 100%. kev [/QUOTE]
