Updated Scholarship Grid

[QDOG5]

I like the idea of hanging on to one scholarship every year. Have one available in case a talented player is available late. If it's not used give it a walk-on with good grades and use it towards the APR. Lenahan have any little brothers?

The one-man Hamilton class left us flexible for that year, but it's going to have slight ripple effects in later years (especially if he goes pro). '17 is going to need to be another 4 or 5 player class.

After the number of guys coming in 2016, I don't see too many studs wanting to jump on board. No minutes to go around. Maybe get some decent grad transfers, but a big class would be a tough ask.

I'll be shocked if we don't have a five-player class for 2017.

Brimah was overlooked by pretty much all the recruiting services. Guy should have been a fringe top 100 player and a 4* player, similar to where Facey was ranked.

And Denham was from overseas. Those guys, at least those who aren't bonafide Lottery picks, tend to be underscouted and ranked.

Really? The guys coming back are almost all bonafide studs to a man. What top shelf players are going to want to come sit the bench behind those guys? I suppose we could recruit a bunch of filler players. I'm seeing it as a 3 player class (depending on transfers and pro jumps), plus a possible 5th year transfer.

I should have said 'he's a dag nab furaner'.

Since you're going to be a jerk and troll tcf (of all people), I'll point out that you ended your sentence with a comma. I will note that I do not have an editorial position for you.

Think you read that wrong. He was making a lighthearted joke in good fun. Not to be condescending.

Thanks

Purvis is likely not going anywhere next year. Guards at the next level need to hit their free throws. The NBA is quirky like that.

Don't disagree with the analysis, but I think there's a high chance he goes and plays D-league, or follows Boat and gets experience overseas. Obviously not going to be in the NBA next year, but Age is catching up to him. And not matter how BS it is, that 'too old coming out of college to develop' thing is real.

FWIW, this isn't an updated scholarship grid. James posted the correct one here: Updated Scholarship Chart

Might as well just bookmark this tweet because this thread won't remain pinned for long: Link

Rodney improved that by last year end didn't he?

I love the thought into the color coordination....yellow for that cautious unknown freshman, green for the greedy two and done, red for the "stop, what am I still doing here?"....and blue for the true husky

You responded to a thread written on January 26, 2016 and where is Purvis as we type?

Purvis did not start knocking down his FT as originally expected until March and one month (out of 3 seasons) of going 2 for 2 or 3 for 3 is a painfully small sample size. If he hits his FTs at say an 85% clip this year, he may work himself into the NBA conversation. I'm glad he was smart enough to not declare when had a fatal flaw in his game. He would have had suffered a fate worse than Hamilton.
