Next Years Roster

[mict085]

Or maybe bring in two guys who end up starting like he did last offseason, or a guy who turns into our best player like he did with Reaves. Or two guys who helped get us to the tourney in Reynolds and Calixte.

Or maybe bring in guys who will go 14-11. What a success story.

CJ Noland might beat someone out. Definitely getting 1, probably 2 transfers if no senior returns.

Noland will be ahead of at least 3 guys on that 2 deep

Assuming no seniors return....

G - Harmon/Bijan
G - Gibson/Phipps
G - Harkless/Ogarro?
F - Jalen Hill/Garang?
F - Victor Iwuoakor/Issanza

That's really a 4 guard line up, which can work but has obvious vulnerabilities. I do like having a functional small lineup like this season but it's like a baseball pitcher with one pitch blah blah etc. Take that roster and add guys like Tashawn Thomas and Spangler and have the ability to play both big or small.

If it were me I would drive a few hours north for a few players

Matt Meyers (6'8'' 210 - Hutchinson CC)
Averaging 22 and 12 on a team with 3-4 D1 players. Shooting 80% from foul line and 65% from the field. Coming off a 44 point and 16 rebound game against a team with multiple D1 players.

Chris Payton (6'7'' 220 - Indian Hills CC)
Averaging 12 points and 9 rebounds per game for a team with multiple D1 players. Would immediately become best athlete on the team. Dude is violent around the rim.

If a coaching change is in consideration, this off season would seem to be a good time to do it. Assuming no seniors back, our prospects will not be great and if Coach is right sounds like we might be losing more than just seniors. In other words, you wouldn’t be risking much by making the change now.

Obviously everyone on this board is entitled to their opinion on whether they want a new coach, but there is zero chance a coaching change is under consideration anywhere other than message board fantasy land.

So we have 2 scholarships left for next year assuming no one transfers, is that correct? If so let’s wait until those are filled or we know for sure they are going to go unused

That’s exactly my point. It’s a fool’s errand to spend much time on this exercise when we can be certain that there will be guys on the roster we don’t even know about. This reminds me of spring training where fans are worried their team has too many staring pitchers or outfielders or whatever and freak out about how everyone will get playing time. Then before the season starts, multiple guys get hurt and the problem solves itself. There is almost no chance our roster come next fall looks like we are expecting it to look, so why worry about who will start or proclaim that the future looks bleak. And even within the guys on the current roster, there are things that happen that no one expects. For example, Reaves and Cousins being moved to the point. Two moves that worked out in a major way.

why? it's a message board...maybe it's just there for conversation. Funny you get all blown up about what people say that don't jive with your take, it's a MESSAGE BOARD...that is WHY IT'S HERE.
:ez-roll:

I've posted who OU has OFFERED for 2023. 14 kids...ya no clue the number that we take or even if any of those kids commit. It's there for conversation since there seems to be a major question by a lot of posters on the quality of recruit LK is going after...it's for conversation.

I agree with you, I think Joe C knows that there isn’t a whole lot of passion out there for basketball anyway and Lon is certainly a very safe choice— he’s a great guy, won’t get us into trouble, will generally produce respectable teams, etc.
