I have zero inside information, but the staff just had a 2023 PG on an unofficial visit yesterday. The fact that they're recruiting a point guard for that class tells me their level of confidence that Castle will be here in November.

He is an unranked combo guard. Depth piece. He may blow up, but he's not likely an instant impact freshman. I think the staff realizes what I keep saying, you need to recruit some 3 star level guys as freshmen or you won't have any depth. Top 100 guys are going to increasingly insist on minutes.

Based on recruiting articles it sounds like he's already blowing up. I doubt he's a depth piece.

Even as a casual fan I can imagine the coaches must feel like they are in a toy store in which, although they are unlikely to get a shiny remote control fire engine, they still could get the dump truck with the back that can lift to unload sand you put in.

I think some posters are equating the current situation with what we went through with KO. IIRC KO’s players left after most of the decent available grad transfers or high school seniors were taken. There was really no transfer portal. Hurley and company have four draft picks available for rounds 6-20 in which they can get best available for depth.

Have no problem with dump trucks as long as the back can lift to unload the sand.. This team's roster can use a few.

Honestly, not at all. We just finished up the meat of the 2022 class and it was an open recruiting period that was about to close. We currently have 2 guards on the 2023 roster with Castle, we were gonna be making a ton of offers to guards regardless of what Castle decides

I figured we would go after other guards, but not another point guard the same season we bring in Castle. That kind of thing can rub some prospects the wrong way.

I think it's unavoidable at this point. We currently have 1 PG on the roster in Newton and he'll be graduating, so Castle will be the only PG on the roster as of now. Pretty much have to bring in another PG, especially since Castle wants to be one and done

Pretty sure that Castle and Ball can play either guard position in CBB.. PG happens to be where they play most of their minutes in HS and where Castle is projected at the next level after college. Ball's athletic measurables are pretty impressive at his age --esp. if he can match them up with BBIQ and performance on the court. No way this kid is underrated/not rated coming out of AAU season this summer.

They're both combo guards.

If injuries are causing us to play our 12th and 13th guy on the bench, then the season is dead no matter what. We'll likely fill out those spots with whoever has a pulse and doesn't mind playing walk-on minutes. They won't be guys who can expect to contribute any meaningful minutes on a Big East caliber level.

What do you gain by not filling all available scholarships?

And options to take on more players in next year's class. This is a 4 year puzzle not a 1 year puzzle.

And maybe the odd two-fer transfer scenario every once in a while; think like the NBA with player A who is tight with player B saying hey come with me to University of X to play for a natty.

What’s the success rate of someone reclassing in December for the current season? Can’t remember that scenario in terms of helping a team in the current season.

I get an appreciate the joke, but, I think we got exactly what we needed to round out the roster. Hurley and the staff have done an excellent job during the off-season in my opinion.

i agree. i dont foresee any more additions unless one of the guys we're recruiting for '23 opts to reclass. '23 is where staff should be focusing all of their time and resources now that it's june.

there is literally no one still uncommitted in the class of '22 that's worth a scholly (besides yann). And based on the fact that he's not eric musselman it feels like 3 transfers is the max hurley would add in a single summer..
