Jude signing was critical. We could get by without Boyd. We cannot get by without another big for next year.

I noticed a guy we were on pretty heavy signed with ODU.

I'm not sure that Jude was higher on our list but he is bigger so probably.

And, we probably would have taken both. I'm pretty sure we are still going to sign another big in the late period.

KALU EZIKPE
Position: Forward
Height/Weight: 6’8” / 230
Hometown: Lawrenceville, Ga.
High School: Discovery

Notables:
-Rated the No. 7 ranked player in Georgia (per Hoopseen.com).
-Averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds per game last season.
-First Team All-Region as a junior.
-First Team All-Gwinnett County as a junior.
-GACA Junior All-Star Game selection.
-Named a Gwinnett Daily Post Super Six.

Jeff Jones on Kalu Ezikpe:
“Kalu is an intriguing prospect. At 6’8” and 230 pounds, he can bang inside while having the athleticism and skills to operate effectively on the perimeter. Kalu is very young for his grade, so he will continue to develop physically. His ceiling is extremely high.”

With Tubby Smith pissing off local Memphis high school coaches and uab signing one Penny Hardaways players, this could be the reconnection of the Memphis connection. Having Hardaway connections could pay off big.

Waiting on the fourth signee, there's no way we keep McCoy on scholarship while not using Smallwood and RS Hurtado. I wouldn't mind a guard or big ,but I'm kinda leaning big since Smallwood isn't I'm the rotation. Kinda need three bigs to replace Lee and Cokley.

I think its highly unlikely that McCoy is on scholarship next year.

But, I don't know anything one way or the other.

We could have 4 graduates next year with eligibility left. Have to think that all 4 returning is unlikely. Probably need to recruit as if 2 are leaving.

I'm guessing most think Lavender would leave. He could leave but I don't think he will unless we still force him to run point. We have the rest of the season to see, and watch if his minutes decrease. Doubt the other juniors leave even Smallwood.

And who's graduated outside Smallwood I think.

After next summer if not sooner, we will have 4 guys who will probably graduate who will have eligibility remaining. And could leave via the grad transfer rule.
Smallwood, Norton, Lavender & Sullivan.

I'm not saying anyone is leaving nor do I want anyone to but its reasonable to expect one or two might.

Smallwood's pretty much limited to Drexel if he wants to transfer:

If he gains a quick 100 lbs, that dragon might transform to a hog and he could play at Arkansas.
