RE: Another Men's Hoops offer
Good news, hope both the verbals, Moss and Hill, are not flipped late if they continue to impress and P5 programs make a late pitch. MAC has always been a guard driven league and, while we don't know how any of these 3 recruits will ultimately pan out, each has a nice upside.
Rollins is really long and versatile. classic basketball build and capable of running the point or playing off the ball. lots of defensive potential too. Detroit area kid which generally implies toughness
Moss is an elite athlete and excellent football player who will certainly give us a physical and toughness edge. could have all-mac talent if he continues to tighten up the skill side of his game.
hill is gonna have a chance to be the heir to marreon, but with a year to learn and adjust. late bloomer with an upside. kids like that tend to have good drive.
in terms of the 3 or 4 recruits or big man recruit question. let's look at the classes
2020: willie, luke
2021: marreon, alderson, littleson
2022: none
2023: edu, smith, saunders, maranka, moore
2024: acunzo, etherington, hill, moss, rollins
so, next year's roster will have
C: edu 6-10 and maranka 6-10
F: etherington 6-7 (more like 6-6), smith 6-8, acunzo 6-7
Wing: Saunders and alderson at 6-5, littleson at 6-3/6-4, moss at 6-3, moore at 6-3
pg: marreon 6, rollins 6-3, hill 6-3
i'd imagine the rotation is
starters: marreon, littleson, saunders, acunzo, edu
reserves: alderson, maranka, smith, rollins/hill (whoever is more ready), moss and possibly moore, etherington
that seems like enough big guys to work with, especially since we'll have good size and athelticism at the guard position. generally, coaches don't want to burn a rs on a guy and then give up on him so i doubt smith or ethington will leave. moore is last on the bench but has upside and seems to really get along well with the team and be a well liked teammate, so there's no reason to push him out, maybe he will choose another route given the numbers kinda stacking up against him for playing time. with at least 3 scholarships to give in 2021 and no bigs graduating in 2021 or 2022 there's plenty of time to intentionally recruit well on the interior. edu is a star, maranka is gonna be good, acunso has game, the only question is the foot-if he has to hang it up maybe we bring in a big next year.
