Is it just me or with our philosophy of not using all of our roster spots because 'we're not going to need 13 guys'  does it seem like if Heiman has the potential to be a starter for you at some point in his career (even if it's only as a redshirt senior) isn't he a no-brainer offer?   Once again I'll bring up the fact that his father was a college athlete as pointing toward him being at least a Div 1 contributor vs a guy who never develops at this level.

Why not take him instead of leaving a spot open.  I don't understand self probation.

If he is going to be Surge then there really is no reason to take him even if we never use the scholarship.

This has basically been my thought regarding Wingett. And it still might happen.

With 5 spots in the 2018 class I would absolutely take a chance on Heiman.

True but if that becomes clear within a couple years you can nudge him towards the door.

Especially with the immediate need for another center. Duby will graduate and Jordy would be an upperclassmen when the '18 class arrives. 

 

Grab a JUCO or Grad transfer big to back up Jordy and pair him with Heiman so he can redshirt. Thats what i would like to see.

[Art Vandalay]

100% on board with offering him asap, seems like a no brainer to me. He has some upside if he gets stronger, is a local kid, plenty of open ships, and centers are hard to find. I think he is as far along or farther than Rich King was back in the day and he turned out alright.

Simple question, and I am unsure if it is answerable...if you knew we were recruiting a 4* post player and could take the 4* or Brady, would you still want Brady?

I guess it depends on the probability of landing the 4 star post.  True posts that highly rated are extremely hard to get.... I would tend to say take the bird in hand than a flier on a kid we probably won't land.  

 

Jordy is the most promising big we've had in a long while and he was a 3 star so I would be pretty skeptical we would have an inside track on a highly regarded post unless we had some kind of connection.

[busticket]

Just a side story on Brady I thought I'd share.  A couple years ago, one of the kids in my Boy Scout troop goes to school with him and was telling me about a 6'9" kid on their basketball team.  I asked a little bit about him but I figured it was just the typical high schooler telling a fisherman's tale about a 6'6" kid.  Last year is when I figured out he wasn't full of it!

I think we'll offer for that reason: 5 spots, take a chance.

You'd take the 4*.

But there are a few variables here that complicate that.   Do we know for sure that we land that 4*?   Plus there's going to be more than one spot available for a front court player.

Miles was watching him on Sunday

Please oh please learn not to drop the ball to your waste level...you will find in Division I that ball will soon be missing from your hands, and not in a good way.

[Chuck Taylor]

He's getting some decent offers, but still no high majors so far, even though he's had plenty of exposure this summer.

 

Miles' hot-seat status this year might make it tough to sell some guys on coming here, might not be an issue for him. I still think we'll offer at some point since we have 5 openings.

Maybe he just finished a dribble and was taking it up to dunk!

That's a big boy!
