[QUOTE=ninerID;264897]I am going to agree with both of you.
Bbball, I would much rather have 8 guys that were the core group of players, than 10-11. Its a 40 minute game, its not good to get it complicated. I mean we donāt have time for 15 potential lineups, may 6 or 7.
Eason, we did do a very good job of reloading. We have to stop recruiting jucos though. We cannot take a juco next year, weāll have like 6 juniors again in 2 years if we do so. We need to get to the point (albeit lutzā 10th? year) where we have a core of 6 guys, and 2-3 fresh/sophs that can play and contribute.[/QUOTE]
If we had some JUCOs to do good (besides EJ) over the past few years you wouldnāt be so shy about recruiting them. We have had some good JUCO pickups over the years that I wouldnāt trade for many 4 year players.

no matter how you look at it, losing what 11-13 players due to graduation in 2 years hurts like what we are coming out of. Add to that 2 transfers leaving.
Barnett, Dewhurst, Gaby, Wilderness, and Phil Jones (Possibly) could be counted as freshmen this year. if in two years we add a juco player,2 years later weāll lose 6 guys who we think will contribute, thats not how you develop a team.
or you could say Harris, Gerrity, Ian, Phil Jones (possibly), and then if we take a juco for this upcoming class, we could have 5 guys leave.
If we take a juco this year and/or next year, weāll lose 10-11 guys in two years, same thing that put us where we are now. We have 4 new starters, 3 of which didnāt even play for us last year. I know dewhurst, phil and anjuans situations, but still it isnāt good.
Bust said that Dewhursts uncle said he had a triple double in the closed scrimmage (whoever it was we played). Thatās pretty damn impressive so I wonder if he would have gotten the nod over AnJuan had he been healthy. Even if not, its good to see we have two very good 4 year forwards.
