If Tiny is still here that could be a year we make a run, but there is still work to do on the recruiting trail. Here is what we'll have though.......
Seniors: Juco big (signed this fall), juco guard (signed this fall), Willis, Honore
Juniors: Tiny, TMG, Pledger, Fitz, Hardrick
Sophomores: Taylor, Clark
Freshmen: ???
Of the players listed above, 10 are on scholarship. So there are two more pieces to be added to the puzzle. I'm also assuming we're going to sign a juco guard and at least one juco big this fall, who are listed in the senior category.
If Capel hits on the jucos he signs in the late period this spring, we should be back in the dance next year (I'm going to guess in the 4 seed range) and then be primed for a big run in 2011-12 with the solid corp of Tiny, TMG, Pledger, Fitz, Taylor and Clark each with 1-2 years experience under their belt. Then throw in the jucos with a year under their belt, and any impact freshmen we sign, and that looks to be a pretty stout team.
Of course, Capel has to find solid, not great, but solid jucos this spring to come fill in. Terrence Jones would obviously do out of the high school ranks, but I think the jucos are more realistic. And a lot of it hinges on Tiny coming back for a third year and the even better player he could be with two more years of conditioning/weight training and experience. Right now NBADraft.net has him going 17th in the 2011 draft.
Again, a lot of ifs and assumptions being made here, but I think the corp superstars are there with TMG, Tiny, Clark and some solid players surrounding them in Pledger, TJ and Fitz. If Capel can add 3-4 more solid pieces over the next two signing periods, then that could be a very, very good team.
Agree, disagree or flame away.
PS: It would be appreciated if someone with more recruiting knowledge fill us in on the potential juniors we could land next fall and impact the team in 11-12.
