I don't know that we have a lot of options at this time of year. I suspect that Howland is evaluating everybody who is available, and for anybody that can help us, he will figure out a way to make the scholarships work.

Also, while I'm sure he would prefer someone who can play immediately, we will have a ton of minutes to replace after next year (presumably, Malik, Ware, Thomas, Daniels, Zuppardo, Sword, so probably the equivalent of minutes that an average starting five will play depending on how much time Daniels, Zuppardo, and Thomas get). So Howland may be willing to force some attrition now even for a player that has to sit for a year. I know he wants to make a splash while Malik is here, but he's not in a position where he needs to mortgage the future for this year.
