Haha... This does put them in a tough position. If the season started today they would look like this:
PG: Michael Weathers (6'2'' 170)
-Transfer from Miami of Ohio... Led the Redhawks in scoring (16.7 ppg), assists (4.8 apg), steals (1.9 spg) and blocks (1.4 bpg), and was third on the team in rebounding (4.2 rpg). Led the MAC in blocked shots. Weathers was the only freshman in the nation to average at least 16 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 blocks per game.
SG: Curtis Jones (6'4'' 175)
-Transfer from Indiana... #69 overall player out of high school. Averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds per game as a true freshman for the Hoosiers. Supposed to be a good shooter. Had 15 against KU.
SG: Lindy Waters (6'6'' 205)
-Averaged 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists per game as a sophomore.
PF: Cameron McGriff (6'7'' 220)
-Averaged 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist per game as a sophomore. 85% foul shooter and can hit 3's as well. Nice player.
PF/C: ?????
They have a couple of forwards committed but both would be true freshman... They struck out on Antun Maricevic, who ended up going to South Florida.
Losing Shine and Sima really hurts them for next year... Shine was their best defender and a 10ppg scorer. Sima was just a tall athletic guy but was still going to be a major piece.
They are basically in the same position as OU now... While OU has gaps at point guard OSU has gaps in depth and post players.
