Most likely at least two, very good chance three.

Officially only one but players going pro or transferring should open at least one spot.

Is it normal for us to over recruit like that?

Im sure the dukes uks and zonas do...but do we?

Well we haven't really over recruited yet. I'm sure if we get a commit in the near future the staff may pump the breaks slightly, but they also probably know that Jalen and/or Terry will probably not be here next season.

Imo I think Jalen has a better chance of being here one more year than Terry

Larrier has let the staff know he is leaving after this year. Doubt they'd sign someone expecting an unconfirmed departure. Would be surprised if we added more than 2 more players.

Nothing has happened yet so it's conjecture on our part but the answer is that it has happened in the past but not frequently. Biggest dilemma was getting Andre with all sholarships taken.

Yeah that was all I could remember but that was far from a normal situation

Hoping that means pro and not grad transfer

I don't think either one will be here
That's 4 scholarships minimum
I think we will lose one more to the pros and one transfer .
I believe it will be KW to the pros
He is here to showcase his talents on a bigger stage.
and an unhappy wings
That's as many a 6 open spots
Even after 2011 ,Jamal Coombs-McDaniel transferred so a successful season changes nothing.
These kids have personal objectives that are a priority to them.

We have two grad students

Correct, who are our only seniors. So 13 are being currently used since we added Sid. Minus Anderson and Onuorah is 11. Add Akinjo that's 12. So, right now, only 1 technically "open" scholarship. Larrier and Adams leaving would give us 2 more, so 3 more total.

We will see.
I don't think he has NBA delusions but he is has the age where his productive earning years are limited. That's a very relevant fact.
The two very big factors in my assessment .
Age
marketability of a player.
A player of this athletism is certainly that.
Professional Basketball is entertainment and he will generate a buzz wherever he end up.
You are delusional if you think an agent couldn't hook up a player like this somewhere.
I was 90% convinced of his being one and done after researching him, but the fact he stayed in Yuma to graduate did temper my opinion some, because it apparently demostrated more of a value of education than I first thought.
Other than a degree there is no case for him staying
Enjoy the fun while he is here.
With our great guard play this kid will at times look like a superstar. The fact that he can't create is totally irrelevant. With him it's about finishing with garbage points.
The "casual" fans love that.
