I don’t understand the logic of our recruiting. We brought in 3 centers last year and now we may bring in 3 small forwards. Yet, the team doesn’t have a single PF and is in dire need of a capable SG. or two. I am assuming you mean Clark and Sibley....I think Clark is a 2/3 and Sibley a 3/4. Certainly not arguing your point they will both see time at SF I assume and I think you could argue Pickett could even see time there just simply stating Clark and Sibley are not strictly SF's. Either way agree w/the overall point and think Bruner should be priority #1 right now. He fits so many needs. Of course I want Barry and Murray as well but if I had to rank them I think Bruner would be the biggest addition for the roster we presently have.

You might disagree with whether they are "capable" or not, but just based off the current construction of our roster we are fine there. If anything we need a freshman SG to groom to take over the starting role in 2021-2022. The needs for this upcoming team are a starting PG and a starting (defensive minded) PF.

I will agree with this. I think Blair has earned a starting spot. However, nothing is guaranteed. He needs to continue to develop, knock down shots, and minimize boneheaded plays.

I really just meant two consistent perimeter shooters, regardless of what position they are considered. If Pickett is a 4 (which I hope is not the case) then we are essentially going to need two players who can hit the outside shot. McClung and Blair are capable but as of now represent the ultimate in streak shooters. So whether you call it another SG or a wing doesn't really matter---we need someone in the game at all times who presents a threat from deep. As I try to figure out the numerous recruiting offers out there it is difficult for me to figure out exactly what type of roster is being constructed.

Yet, the team doesn’t have a single PF and is in dire need of a capable SG. or two. Is this a shot at Mac's talent or Mac's foot injury? If Mac is healthy we have 2 very capable SGs. Juggy is a perfect complimentary CG.....the problem is he was forced to do more than Ewing would have liked....

As I try to figure out the numerous recruiting offers out there it is difficult for me to figure out exactly what type of roster is being constructed. I think if you want a look at the type of roster we are trying to construct for the future you should look back to what we had before the season started. Pat wants a score first PG (Akinjo), athleticism on the wings (Mac, Myron, some extent Galen), a defensive high-motor big (Leblanc) and a mobile rim protector at C (Wahab). That's the basic DNA for the team Ewing wants to build, but that got of track since the recruits he brought in his first season didn't really fit the bill and at that point he was just looking for talent (Pickett, Yurt, etc). I think the big thing this overlooked was having a true shooter on the wings to keep defenses honest. We are replicating that build with the recruits we're bringing in next season. Harris looks to be a score first pg (eventually), Beard will provide athleticism and secondary ball handler presence, Sibley will provide athleticism and shooting on the wings. Based on our current targets in the grad transfer market it looks like we're trying to add that defensive minded PF (Bruner) and a shooter on the wings or at point (Flavors, Rich Kelly, Barry etc). But this is why landing someone like Frankie Collins is very important for us. The whole offense runs through that point guard, and without a guy like that its going to feel very hollow and forced. Which is why I don't care too much who we land in the grad transfer/transfer market, so long as we get the right freshmen next season and afterwards to get things back on track.

Grad transfer Jordan Bruner, maybe 2020 Akeem Odusipe, maybe but probably not 2020 Abou Ousmane. Those are the only ones I have on my tracker at the moment, but given that we had never heard of Holloway before yesterday, I'm sure there are probably others out there.

Anybody got info on Mayoum2...we appeared to have offered in '18 and evidently we're on his current list...I really like what I see from his videos...very athletic, quick scoring guard with well rounded game...says he's 6'3 but that might not be up to date...plays with great energy/passion ...don't know his present location, but looks like he can play...

Would be great to get beyond interest to committed closes...maybe we could then have a chain reaction.

Most of Chicago’s great players want all those things, but they likely would keep it quiet. That isn’t Hinton. He says what he thinks and plays with passion and energy. Hinton is always moving on the court, always working. His motor and high standards have helped the Condors to an exceptional two-year run despite having significantly fewer highly recruited players than other city powers. Hinton, a Southeast Missouri State recruit, is a Sun-Times All-City first-team selection. He’s averaging 17 points and eight rebounds, and Curie is the favorite to win the Class 4A state title. First Team All City. Tyler Beard on Second Team Formerly signed to Southeast Missouri, Hinton would have been a massive steal at that level. I loved watching him play last summer with Team Rose. He’s still considering them after the hiring of Brad Korn (who helped recruit high school teammate Dajuan Gordon to Kansas State a year ago). He has also added offers from Colorado State, New Mexico and Tulsa while Illinois, Iowa State and Murray State have been active to varying degrees. I know that it’s not an easy time to recruit guys right now, but he’s a junkyard dog on the wing who could really help somebody out and at a fairly high level. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/three-point-play-not-much-left-in-2020-jordan-nesbitt-two-in-chicago

Seems clear given the success of Allen that we're seeking a mature point guard and will not hand the reins to either of our incoming freshman point guards, unless they earn it. Akinjo had that kind of, "it's mine," attitude. Let's see who we end up with when the ball is rolled out!

Akinjo had that kind of, "it's mine," attitude. Let's see who we end up with when the ball is rolled out! I don't know that this is accurate, given that nearly all of the transfers Georgetown has pursued since the end of the season have been power forwards and wings. After Season Stated Interest Warith Alatishe SF 6'7" Jordan Bruner PF 6'9" Jamarius Burton SG 6'5" Jalen Harris PG 6'2" Brandon Johnson PF 6'8" Trey McGowens SG 6'3" Landers Nolley SG 6'7" Koreem Ozier SG 6'1" Kahlil Whitney SF 6'6" EJ Anosike SF 6'6" Tennessee Brendan Barry PG 6'2" Dartmouth Ian DuBose SG 6'4" Wake Forest Ferron Flavors Jr SG 6'3" Oklahoma State Kevin Marfo PF 6'8" Texas A&M Patrick Tape PF 6'10" Duke There's possible interest with more players, and many of those are point guards, but until we get confirmation on those it currently seems like the focus is not on a transfer point guard at the moment. After Season Possible Interest Aaron Cook PG 6'2" Amauri Hardy PG 6'1" Tray Jackson PF 6'8" Carlik Jones PG 6'1" Cameron Parker PG 6'2" Noah Waterman C 6'11" Trey Wertz SG 6'5" Rich Kelly PG 6'1" Boston College

I could be wrong, but with two 6-2 guards committed, I keep seeing on this site supposed interest in other 6-1 or 6-2 guards. I think we need additional size & skill at the guard, wing and power forward positions.
