I know one of the coaches from Queens, I should ask him about Wilson lol. Queens University of Charlotte, not to be confused with Queens College. They were division 2 until very recently, they were legit at that level.
I wouldn't group Jaylin Stewart in the same bucket with Ross. I have way more confidence in Stewart than Ross as we saw Stew step up for us at the end of year. He does have to become more consistent. I hope Ross can find a shot but I can't see where he will be getting any minutes on next year's team unless he really improves. He didn't show anything to me this past year and his minutes at the end of the year unfortunately reflected that. I would love to be proven wrong about Ross though.
We need 2 more quality players for hurley practice sessions. Can’t worry if it upsets Ross. Ross will need to earn his minutes and i think he will improve dramatically. The roster is high quality. 1-2 more key portal guys and would be championship caliber.
We need a 4/5 rim protector, and though I have never heard of him, I looked on YT, and it seems like the perfect fit since Alex committed. I agree with your last paragraph.
Eh, maybe. If the player has another year of eligibility, it would be a plus. Positional flexibility is always good, and this roster isn't as strong/tough as I'd like.
This is correct. We're in a good spot to wait for things to shake out before we pick up two more insurance policies, and have turned most of our immediate attention to the 2026 haul.
Nah you need at least a couple more backups to pracitice against that aren't walk-on level. 12 is perfect as it protects us againist injuries and allows for comptetive practices which Hurley loves.

The Boneyard reaction to those "play only in an emergency" commitments should be entertaining. We are talking about a Singare replacement and a live body to play point if there is no viable alternative (a replacement for the oft-injured Nowell we actually had, not the one we thought we had).
pretty hard to get players who have no shot at playing
absolutely. pick up players for additional depth who are well above the talent level of a walk on but come here understanding that they may not play unless of severe foul trouble or injury. It would be foolish to only have 11 players on scholarship
That is why we are waiting for players who want prime minutes to commit and then will pick up players who don't mind riding the pine and winning a national championship. You never know we might look at some Europeans who wouldn't mind taking a year developing under Hurley. Still some moving parts on the roster for sure.
