Thoughts?
This 1 has been in the bag for a while. Whether he decides to take another visit or not. He's over on campus at practice almost every day.
Looks like good news for us. For those in the know, is Carter good enough to step in and replace Newman right away after he goes pro, or will he need a year to get acclimated? Also, is he expected to be a PG or a SG?
No he's not going to step in & replace Malik. He will provide outside shooting but definitely needs to add weight. He's a true combo guard can play the 1 or the 2. I wouldn't bet on anymore than 1 or 2 freshmen coming in & starting.Quote:

Yea Kansas don't feel good at all about him going there. He's supposed to take 1 last visit but they haven't decided where yet. He's always said playing time was his biggest factor & that's why I always felt good about our chances.Quote:

This doesn't even include the 2018 class where Robert Woodard, Ladarius Marshall, Michael Barber, & Kenneth Nwuba are all guys we're heavily involved with that are all top 50-75 players.
We are losing our entire starting 5. It depends on who we sign, but I could see us starting 2 or 3 freshman.Quote:

I expect IJ to start at PG with Peters being his understudy. I expect Q to start at the 2. Holman starts at the 4. Herard would start at the 5. That leaves a battle between Stapleton & Kegler at the 3. That would be 1 or 2 Freshmen in the starting lineup.Quote:

On top of that, he thinks he has a recruiting advantage here. You tell me how many coaches have ever thought that.
If we do our job and keep the arena full, there really is no limit.
Barber may have to decide on MAIS vs MHSAA vs Out of StateQuote:
