I guess I was spoiled with the likes of having DJ Cooper for a while, but don't you think we need a fundamental Pg who is not only a leader but a distributive PG with strong defense and court presence in an upcoming recruiting class. Abreu for Akron was never a favorite of mine but he meant a lot for that team and in conference play. What is everybody thinking about recruiting a solid PG? Just want to hear input. Not saying DJ was fundamental at all times, but I feel we need someone to distribute with our wing play and big guys coming in.

 I think JC is in a position to make a STRONG pitch to a PG. It is the key missing ingredient next year - so that makes me think JUCO transfer - someone with "distributive" Game. JC pitch - "Think of how many assists you will get with Maurice next year, then the wings and bigs we have the next year. We'll get a lot of wins and play for championships".

Not much as chance we get a Frosh strong enough to deliver quickly enough next year - the BigDozensTensCoasts conferences have a lock on that small elite group. Get a Top Notch Juco that is a True PG for next year, then put the press on for a Top Notch Frosh to come in the next year and be ready to help, then fill in full time as a Sophmore.

As some others have said on here - I think Bean needs to be in a SG role - in fact I would really like to see how that would work. 




 

I agree there. Even if we move Bean to SG, I think most JUCO recruits coming in are still going to see Stevie Taylor as a Senior and assume this isn't completely an open lock of a position.

That might not be a huge letdown for a PG coming in... You get good minutes as a Junior then can start a Senior. If that is the route we go, I am going to take the Optimistic route and assume the staff is confident they can pull one of the freshman PG's they are high on for next year..

At the same time, with Stevie coming back I think if there is a freshman PG we like this year this situation is very attractive to him. 2 Senior PG's then the show could be his... It isn't like we haven't had two excellent PG's starting as Freshman the last decade. Cooper obviously, but also Fears..

My time period was Jeremy fears, and diamond gladney and then since I loved OU so much I was there for the beginning of dj. I have to say a distributer and defensive stopper is what we need we need in this class. I think bean is a better sg as well especially an experienced one after nick graduates. I just wanted to see what everyone thinks.

I wish I had a better feel for what Wingfield can bring to the table next year per PG

Nehemias Morillo lists himself as a PG/SG. 

Hey Borna,
What happened with Castro at Butler ?  While I am asking that question.....what happened to the good frosh that ended up at Miami from Cincy.?  I think he was from Cincinnati Turpin High but not sure of that.  I know he left school aaround Thanksgiving, but never heard where he ended up.   I know that Ohio finished second in his recruiting process.  JC really liked him as a prospect.
