Quality over quantity. Many of JK's recruits have been "filler " in my opinion

Their concerns are the current roster and the fact that we have not signed a freshman big man since Jones has been here. I happen to really like our young guys. The big man dilemma is a huge concern for me. I hope that changes.

The recruits:

Transfers:
Arledge
Biberaj
Ebondo
Stith
Stith
Vassor
Pinckney
Porter


JUCO:
Douglas
Pervier
Haynes
Kah

High School:
Caver
Talley
Fields
Green
Mauras
Godwin
Hueitt


I don't have anything against transfer big man, but it would be nice if we could get one for 4 years. We've done well with high school recruits, really well with transfers, but not good with JUCO players. Not sure the reasons for that.

The way the roster has turned over so much, we have not really been able to build the roster through the traditional sense. Now with the core group of guys being sophs, I do hope next years class (4 spots?) is more well rounded.

You are excluding quite an importantant transfer on that list...

Well, it depends on how you view it.....and even if any of us know.

Was Freeman locked in before Jones came over? Baker was committed and Jones convinced him to stay. Not sure on Taylor.

I thought Freeman was after BT left, but I wouldn't really credit either of them with him, because he recruited us more than we recruited him.

Isn't he rumor that BT wasn't all that interested in him out of HS?

Yeah. He didn't offer him. Took Breon Key instead.

and it wasnt Baker who wanted to open his recruitment back up, it was Denzell.
