Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3162756, member: 9450"] My preference is still for Ntambwe if that is still on the table. Yes it hamstrings the roster this coming year, but clearly if we have one more spot left because of an injured player, not a defector, we should have 10 abled bodied players for next year. And then would be stacked with another NBA prospect for 2020. Could be looking at a roster with 2021 NBA draft picks of Cole, Ntambwe and Akok. With Gaff / Bouk / any high ranked 2020 recruit potentially morphing into NBA caliber players during their career. We need to get that NBA pipeline going again and all indications are the Ntambwe will probably be an NBA player. Get him at all costs*. However, I wouldn't be against getting this guy if we are out on Ntambwe. Even if he is a dud, we are guaranteed 2 scholarships for next year (and appears we are only focusing on 2 positions at this time) but may have up to 4 available for 2020. Since using this scholarship probably won't limit future recruiting potential, lets get something rather than nothing. *Edit: "by all costs" does not mean feed someone to the wolves. But if we indeed will have 1 more spot, let's sacrifice 19/20 for huge upside in 20/21. [/QUOTE]
