Given the way the team played last year, this may be a controversial take, but here it is.   None of the freshmen Ollie recruited were expected to contribute significant minutes next year, except Akinjo, who would have been a backup PG.

We can find a backup PG in the grad transfer class.  I don't think Brandon Williams is coming here (although he's undecided and we offered).  Honestly, the Gilbert situation hurts our ability to bring in top PGs.  If Gilbert is indeed 100%, he's a McD 5 star PG, playing along side another star PG in Adams.   A grad transfer makes more sense next year.  Then we can confidently target top PGs for 2019-20.    A freshman PG isn't at the top of my list.

Sid and Polley both play the position Matthews plays.  He wouldn't see much time.

All of our bigger front court players are young except Cobb (and Williams who is old, but inexperienced).  I see potential there.

We could use a Shooting Guard in this freshman class.  Someone who can challenge Vital.
