TK’s challenge is to build a team more like Akron last season & Kent this season. We’ve been pretty close. It’s not so much about starters who can play 35 minutes a game as it is having 3 or even 4 guys who can contribute in specific roles off the bench (defensive play, shooter, rebounder, take-up-space guy). A healthy Cochran will certainly help. Even if Edu comes back, still need another true big who can provide minutes. At least 1 wing in the size & style of Milner/ Shumate needs to be found.

Would love to see the Rockets bear down in the NIT & go on a mission to win a couple games & then throw a scare into a “bigger name” in game3. That could help us recruit missing pieces from the portal.
