There will be plenty of options in the spring after all the typical coaching shakeups, the high schoolers who did not sign in the early period, graduate students, internationals, etc... I like that we will have a scholarship available for that period. By that time, JT3 will have a clearer picture of early departures and needs. If all the players decide to stay, go after the best player/scorer possible to replace DSR, and do not limit that to a guard.

This but it has to be someone who can play. Id rather get no one and roll with Kaleb as the starting 2 if LJ leaves. Could even rotate Paul White into that spot. I agree that Kaleb and Paul have some nice guard skills for their size. But I'd be a little concerned about their ability to defend smaller, quicker guards. Do you think they have the lateral quickness to guard opponents' 2s? For anyone who watched Kaleb in Kenner, was he able to check other team's guards? Kaleb i think can guard any swing player but if we had that big a lineup just play more zone. Adjust to the personal. If LJ comes back it may be better we didnt get anyone at the 2.

I'll turn the question around. What makes you think Jagan should be a SG. He's not that great of a scorer or shooter right now. And he is more of a facilitator so why SG exactly? Regardless, a lack of a ball handler is not my biggest worry. It's the lack of a complete scorer should Peak leave. That's why Eubanks was intriguing because he could really score and that's what next year's team will need the most at the G position. At the end of the day, I don't think Eubanks was the answer for us though anyway. I don't have a definitive position on Jagan as a player. That is exactly my argument with the anti-DaDa crew. All I know is that, based on what I've read,(1) Jagan has not played PG full time and (2)that is the hardest position to transition to if you've been a 2G your entire career. When did Vic play PG at IU? I remember Crean giving the ball to Yogi as a true freshman. Remember we played that team in a early tourney and lost in OT. Wade didn't play PG either, he was a 2G in college. Yall are confusing taking over late in the game with running a team for 30+ mins.............. Westbrook didn't even play the 1 in college and it has taken him 3 yrs to become a complete "scoring PG". The only real example of one of these CGs running a college team successfully is Steph taking over PG duties his Soph year and he played in a weak conference. Maybe Tyreke Evans but he hasn't seen many days at the point since he left Memphis......... I'm not anti-Bracey at all, but we run an offense that can work great with a combo at "point." I would not be upset to see Bracey as a Hoya at all - I'd be happy -- but we'll be just fine running out two combo guards out there as long as they can play. We may be the team most capable of doing that and still being good in college basketball.

Do you think they have the lateral quickness to guard opponents' 2s? For anyone who watched Kaleb in Kenner, was he able to check other team's guards? I mean, when people are constantly praising him as the team's best perimeter defender, I think the default position is that he could check a decent number of twos.

This is a follow up to the Bossi tweet in my 1st post Is he blowing up this year? Ark-little rock seems like a couple steps below big east level.

This is a follow up to the Bossi tweet in my 1st post Is he blowing up this year? Ark-little rock seems like a couple steps below big east level. Corprew had a big game last night versus Sasha K Jones team.. He had a final 5 of Texas, Cinnci, Fla St.(what else is knew)East Carolina & Ark Little rock.. Also had some other HM offers.. www.sportinglifearkansas.com/evin-demirel-ualr-basketball-best-recruiting-class-arkansas/That story begins in Durham, N.C., where UALR assistant Brian Burg had coached at North Carolina Central University for a couple of years before moving to Little Rock this spring. In that time, Burg had established a bond with Corprew when the Quality Education Academy student was a relative unknown. Corprew appreciated the unwavering interest – even when bigger schools came calling as he ascended the recruiting ranks in recent months. “He’s real big on relationships – if he really trusts you, he’ll give you everything you got,” says Stefan Welsh, a coach working for Boo Williams, the AAU program for which Corprew starred in recent summers.

Definitely worth a look but I think we could be too late, IMO when kids decommitt they usual know where there next stop is. Pretty solid intangibles here he could be a very nice player to pair up with Mosely.

If he was I'm sure he wasn't impressed but on the flip side I'm sure someone could say to them self, I could handle that position looks like they need my serves. I usually go back and watch the games a couple of times but at the moment it may be awhile.

Let's hope none of them are reading the board today! They will run screaming from this collection of ubercritics.

www.phenomhoopreport.com/news_article/show/577849?referrer_id=15930346’6” Deshawn Corprew of Quality Education (Winston Salem, NC) – Corprew would have been the steal of the A Sun class. Now he may be the hottest talked about available wing. Corprew has a college ready frame, great length, defensive tenacity, and great ball skills. The likes of Cincinnati and Texas were involved prior to his commitment, expect many high majors to look here. Hope the staff makes a push here..
