    Recruiting - 2017

    in Billikens.com Main Board

    Posted

    I would imagine at programs like Duke or Kentucky, highly rated recruits will inform the coaches that they are declaring for the draft after the season, and their scholarship will be open. So they can oversign players in the fall period.

    I really can't see Gillmann or Neufeld back next year. Not playing them vs SIUE or Chicago State, the writing is on the wall. So expecting as least 2 new spring commits.

     

    Worst team since?

    So the previous coach who shall not be named will produce 3 of the 10 worst teams in Billiken history. That's really, really difficult to do with the resources he had. Even coaches like Soderberg, who didn't have the new arena and recent NCAA tournaments, didn't manage that.

    Spot on Roy. This team will not be a NCAA team next unless we miracously get 3 additional players that can contribute right away. Our depth will be a disaster next year with the exception of Roby. He will be decent. On top of it, it will take the transfers a while to get the rust off. We have seen this a lot with players missing a year, even kwamain. I don't think it will take 3 years but this will not be an instant turnaround. 

    Agreed, if everything comes together next year then NIT maybe. The team will have a freshman PG, depth issues, and several key players that have never played together. I still expect at least 3 new faces that we don't know about yet to go along with Goodwin and French. Maybe another key transfer that will be eligible in 18-19.

    How Similar are French and Johnson?

    French is supposedly an 18 year old high school senior but looks like a 26 year old NFL player. Not sure if we've ever had a freshman big who is more athletic and more physically mature. Definitely not in my time following the team. He is not a project big by any means. He should be able to get it done in the paint in the A10.
