I have looked and haven't been able to find the interview with Purvis from last summer/early fall where he made comments to the effect of grooming Adams this year so that he leaves the program in good hands for the following year. The interview left the impression that there was no doubt that Purvis was leaving after this season. The interview was in the context of the Hartford summer league or a link in one of our threads about Purvis and Drummond recruiting. In any event I can't find it. The upshot however, is that we need 1-2 additional guards for next year. Definitely 2 if 2-3 of Cassell, Purvis, and Hamilton were to leave. Even if 1 more guard could do the job, you need a second in case of injury. Diallo has given every indication he is not reclassifying, (and maybe academically he doesn't have the choice), there was some speculation Ashton-Langford could reclassify, I had reported last winter that Waters father told me he would complete his academics this spring but we don't seem going in that direction, and maybe a 5th year transfer is on our radar post season, but, a 2016 recruit with some size at the off guard position sounds like a promising development.
