Graduating seniors: 1
- Askia Booker
Potential additional scholarships: 3
- 1 from Dinwiddie if Tad banks it or brings in a grad transfer senior in 2014
- 1 possibly from Josh Scott declaring for NBA draft
- 1 possibly from attrition if a player not getting PT decides to leave
My guess is that Tad signs 2 in the Fall period, but he could certainly roll the dice and sign 3.
Based on the roster for 2015, the main needs are a SF and a SG. A 3rd player would be "best player available" with a stretch forward probably being the most desirable addition (or a true center, but guys who can play that are as rare as bigfoot).
Wish List:
Cameron Walker, SF, Santa Maria, CA (Compton Magic). Consensus Top 150 prospect ranked as high as #50. Kind of a "point forward" type who has a very well-rounded game. Great passer who can score both inside and out.
Jeremy Hemsley, SG, La Verne, CA (Superior Athletes). Consensus Top 100 prospect ranked as high as #52. High energy athletic slasher who can also knock down jump shots. Plus defender.
Rex Pflueger, SG, San Juan Capistrano, CA (Oakland Soldiers). Consensus Top 100 prospect ranked as high as #54. Another "point forward" who is a bit of a tweener between the "2" and the "3". Smart player who excels as a spot up shooter who can also break down a defense from the mid-range.
Bennie Boatwright, SF, Sun Valley, CA (Cal Supreme). Consensus Top 100 prospect ranked as high as #39. Great spot up shooter with athleticism to break down bigger players off the dribble. At 6'9", can play the "3" or as a stretch "4".
Rickey Brice, C, Dallas, TX (Nike Team Texas). Emerging player ranked as high as 4* #25 Center by 247s. Soft hands, big frame, impressive rebounder with a developing back-to-the-basket game. Huge upside. At 7'0" and 260 lbs, would probably become a prime target if the "Josh Scott to NBA" scenario became a reality after the summer.
