You all are pretty set. Other than maybe center you have some good depth with time left. Your incoming classes look pretty solid too. With so many players going in and you having such a selective need I expect you will only go after a handful that give you something specific Dawkins thinks you need. They will all be people he expects to be a good cultural fit.

You are sitting in such a good spot right now. I expect you to be a legit at large type team next year with a full ooc to work through. Houston is similar although it's pretty clear posts are important. Memphis is looking for a couple specific things as well.

Everyone else is going to see a lot more action as people for various reasons reconstruct their rosters. We point this out in football all the time, but really the fact that we are all urban (sorry ECU) schools in very good areas for basketball talent (WSU maybe not, but they have access to other local talent) is going to be a very big deal. Some of those kids left because they wanted to stretch their wings and go somewhere else. Before if they had to sit out even though many of them may have thought about going home to play decided to stick it out. With no penalty you will see the homesick and the ones who just want a change come back.
The AAC as a top 7 league and a multi bid conference with some traditional power names will be an attractive landing spot for hometown kids to make good.
