Scholarship Review After Hamilton Defect

And...I'm ready to move on. He will be missed but...this opens up an additional scholarship for next season. Where do we stand in terms of availability?

Pretty late for 2016 schollies out there for class of 2020 guys. But certainly allows for 5th year transfer. Worked fairly well this year.....maybe better next time.

We have 3 scholarships available. Four if Rodney declares.

Players we've been linked to:
CG - CJ Jackson (JUCO); 6-foot, 45% 3-point shooter who originally committed to George Mason. From Charlotte, NC, but went JUCO in Florida. Would come in with 3 years of eligibility, so functionally the same class as Adams, Enoch & Larrier. He was recently here for a visit. Other schools recruiting him are Auburn, Mizzou and New Mexico

SG: Christian Vital (HS); 6-foot-2, scrappy, hard-nosed competitor from Hollis. Has range, but isn't an explosive athlete - generally considered a high 3-star prospect. Can be used as a secondary ball-handler, but not a PG. Decommitted from UNLV, has re-opened recruiting and has offers from Rutgers, BC, VCU, Tulsa, SMU Providence and a few others.

Wing: Katin Reinhardt (Grad); 6-foot-5 40%-ish 3-point shooter who's originally from SoCal. Played his first year at UNLV, then transferred to USC. Averaged 11/4/3 on 44/38/79 splits last season. Alabama, Marquette, VCU, UTEP and Providence also recruiting him.

Wing: Alpha Diallo (HS); 6-foot-7 jack-of-all trades guy who's on the fringes of the top 100, from Denver and prepping at Brewster Academy. Not a high-level athlete, which keeps his stock down, but seems to be a very good basketball player (our own @Ricker loves him). Has visits set up with Providence and Florida in the coming weeks, and they would seem to be our biggest competition.

PF: Taurean Thompson (HS); 6-foot-9 athlete who lacks polish but has the tools to be a high-major contributor, consensus top-100 guy. Originally from Jersey City, now prepping at Brewster. Has offers from Arizona, Kansas, Syracuse, and a host of smaller schools.

Nice summary Matrim thanks.

Would love to get one of Diallo/Reinhardt. One of the guards not sure of preference as they both look like they can shot it which is a major plus although wonder on fig they can create. And why not on Thompson, never enough bigs and like his base model for sure.
