That Rodney purvis will be eligible for 2014 with d-ham. I can't wait, we have an unbelievable amount of talent and it's still early for the recruiting class.

We're all set on the wing. Give me Kaleb Joseph, Abu, and Chukwu/Goodluck and we'll have our 4th NC in no time at all. Really hope we can get these local talents.

i like perkins over Kaleb Joseph, but not sure he will leave the west coast

The guys that put the biscuit in the basket are the "stars" of the team. We already have two guys capable of doing that joining the program in 2014. I'm hoping we land another potential star, but I think we'd still have a great recruiting class if we sign solid role players.

A point and a bench is key. Love a big time center also. But I am greedy

We're not set on the wing. For Ollie the 2, 3, 4 can be almost interchangeable on offense and as long as they are long and at least one is strong and has a good frame, you can defend at the college level. Heck, Deandre Daniels is a stringbean and he has defended the 4 for us. Then you want players to play 25-33 minutes, not 40, so you need 4 players for those 3 spots. Purvis is going to get time at the 1. So we have D Ham, Omar Calhoun, and maybe a part time Purvis -- there is a need for at least one more wing and also for a PF who can play on the perimeter like Abu.

I agree PG is the biggest need though, and a big man, then wing. If we can get Abu I'm OK with waiting till 2015 for a center.

I think our roster is in pretty good shape for this year, and then for 2014 it's just a matter of finding replacements. I'm assuming Boat and DD are gone, as well as Bazz, Giff, TO, and Kromah (almost forgot about him). Let's look at this in terms of roles. 2013 on the left, 2014 on the right.

Starters
Primary ballhandler: Bazz --> Perkins???
Scoring PG: Boat --> Purvis
Wing: OC --> OC
Forward: DD --> Abu/Black/Robinson???
Post: Facey--> Facey/??

Bench
Backup PG: Samuel --> Samuel
Backup 2G: Kromah --> ??
6th man Wing: Giff --> Hamilton
Post: Nolan/Brimah/TO --> Facey/Nolan/Brimah
Benchwarmer: Tolks --> Tolks

Based on that, I'd say "needs" are a PG and a PF, while a C falls under "would be nice, but isn't strictly necessary". Another small wing is simply a luxury at this point.

They are trophy points. you get 500 when enough people give you enough likes, then random other amounts for other things (one is for being a "used member"). That part sounds like something no one wants any part of...
