2013 class

[jared]

Are we done with the 3 guys we have now or is there anyone else we're after?

[Seladen]

We are going after Demetrius Henry a 6'8 4* and GCC is saying we are going after a 6'6 wing JUCO that will have 3 yrs to play 3.

Those are just 2 that i know of but there may be more noone has heard of yet coming from nowhere like MC was last yr.

We can only have up to 13 scholarship players, right? We have 15 on roster now, with 3 of them walk-ons (Constable, Phillips, Steele)....of the 12 scholarship players, Page and Jackson are seniors, so that leaves 10 scholarship players for 2013-14. Adding McKie, Ringer, and Thornwell would fill us up to 13 schollies...But then we also have transfer Tyrone Johnson who is already reportedly on the team practicing, and will be eligible to play starting next December, so does that mean we're losing one of the 3 of McKie, Ringer, and Thornwell??

For 2014-15, we'll be losing 5 players (Ellington, Williams, Slawson, Smith, and Richardson). We have Stroman already committed and are in strong position with Ahmed Hill. Don't know who else we're in good running for in that cycle....

We are full for our 2013 class with the 3 signees and the transfer. Only way we can add more would be for players to leave the program and I fully expect this to happen.

Why would you expect players to leave the program? Who?

Leonard would be my guess. Just looks like he is either going to leave or stay buried on the depth chart as we get even more talent in next year.

As mentioned above Leonard is one that hasn't produced, not sure about Smith either.
A month ago, I would have added Richardson to the list, but I'm hoping he has now turned the corner.

[garnet_black215]

If the coaches can make it happen, I'd love to see us add another big man, particularly the 6'8" guy mentioned in a previous post. This team could always use more size in the post.

is thornwell a projected starter as a freshman?

[uscbaseball32]

After watching Thornwell a few times I'm convinced that he would be our best player if he was on the team right now. He is a beast, we haven't had a scoring threat like him since DD left.

[jared]

I am 95% sure Thornwell will start next year. He is a beast. Not sure who would start over him.

Next year's lineup will probably look like this.

PG - Smith/Bruce when he plays
SG - Richardson
SF - Thornwell -more of a 3 guard lineup
PF - Carrera
C - Slawson or L Chat

Bench would be
Brenton Williams
Mindaugas Kacinas
Desmond Ringer
Damien Leonard
Carlton Geathers
Justin Mckie

Don't be surprised if Ringer makes a push for the starting lineup. He's good, and a huge body down low. He'll be the biggest player we have besides Chat and Geathers. Chat is still a project so no telling how he turns out.

[jared]

Our team is gonna be much improved next year. I can't wait!

[STEPHONGILMOREFAN!]

At some point ringer thornwell and Johnson will start next year

I'm hoping that the transfer from Nova will be able to win the starting job at the beginning of the year so Eric Smith won't have to see the floor. I'm sure he tries hard but Smith just doesn't have any business playing at the SEC level.
