We don’t have an open spot on the roster for another big.Which is why failing to get another big hurt us.

Could have gotten one less small.We don’t have an open spot on the roster for another big.
I wouldn‘t trade out any of the guards we signed in 2019.Could have gotten one less small.
I get your point but I am not sure you can not sign one of the freshman guards for a big considering the current big’s classes. It is just a shame Williams got hurt.Which is why failing to get another big hurt us.

You are correct. My bad. Edit made.Douglas is a red shirt junior.
We should add a big in 2020 IF he’s the kind of prospect that will succeed here. That kind of player will be rare and hard to get this late in the process. I don’t want us adding a big just to add a big and then have him take up a roster spot for 2-3 years before transferring out. We’ve seen that story before.For me, I don't think the current roster of 3 is a problem. I also believe that we are only having this discussion because due to factors beyond our control, Hason arrived late. Based on his current progression, if he had been able to be here all summer, he would be getting more minutes.
Now, I think its critical to use the final spot for a big. I also think one if not both of the 2021 scholly should be bigs, The only way I wouldn't take two bigs in 2021 is of I could get some other Top 75 program changing player
Good kids certainly but we needed another big more. Water over the dam of course.I wouldn‘t trade out any of the guards we signed in 2019.
That made it all the more unfortunate of course.I get your point but I am not sure you can not sign one of the freshman guards for a big considering the current big’s classes. It is just a shame Williams got hurt.

I hear you and I don't disagree.We should add a big in 2020 IF he’s the kind of prospect that will succeed here. That kind of player will be rare and hard to get this late in the process.

IMO, it’s much more likely that we can get a good option for 2021-22 through a traditional transfer this offseason that has to sit out next season than through recruiting a high school kid this offseason late in the process or bringing in a graduate transfer after next season. Those latter 2 options are very limited and the competition is tough. Our best shot is a P5 big man that’s not getting the minutes and is being recruited over.I hear you and I don't disagree.
Feels like a bigger gamble not to bring someone in, even if we have to make a tough decision later
- I do think the staff has shown they are willing to "adjust" the roster make up when the right situation presents itself
- If we don't bring in a big, then we go into 2021 with Hason as a junior and.......
- one or more unproven freshmen
- a possible Juco or transfer new to the system
