Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
If Smith hadn't brought in Fakira, JK3, and TK perhaps we would have gone 36-2 rather than 28-7?
I completely trust that Smith will make the right decision and do what's best for the team in regards to the last scholarship. I'm not worried.

I love Smith but he’s not perfect, he brought in Fakira, JK3, and TK. I believe he will get things right more often than he gets them wrong, but he’s fallible and it’s entirely possible he could screw this one up.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
I was certainly skeptical of the staff's ability to recruit. Outside of Queta, last year's class was a washout. That left me wondering if Queta was more the exception than the rule.2004AG wrote: ↑May 15th, 2019, 2:46 pmNo. We’re not. According to aggies22, Smith isn’t even looking.

Looking at this year's class, Bairstow and Karwowski seem shockingly good. The addition of those two players have my mind swimming a bit. If Queta returns, I will have pretty high expectations for this team - with or without an upgrade at PG.

That's not even close to the point I was making, and if thats what you got out of it, then I don't know what to tell you.
Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
This is really Smith's 1st recruiting class that he should be judged on. So far he gets an A and he still has one to go. If Karwowski turns into a good D1 C, then Smith gets an A+, if there is such a thing
Warning! Don't read this post. It's garbage.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
I interpreted what he said was that the guys they are looking at would have to sit out a year. I am sure if the right guy came around for this year they would be looking at him. I think it's really kinda weird that some of the posters have taken the position that Smith has made up his mind that if the next coming of King PG was available, that he wouldn't be interested. The MWC coach of the year in just a few months has become a misguided dunce???
Why is it people can't get through their heads that that guy hasn't been found, as far as talent and FIT! I'm sure they'v looked under every rock and either that guy hasn't been found or has not shown interest in USU. Maybe he prefers Kentucky, Duke or some other institution.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
Every guard they are currently looking at is either a freshman or a sophomore who would have to sit out a year as a transfer. They are looking for someone they can develop into a leader that can guide this team for more than just a one and done season. Although Abel will only be a junior in 2019-20 he has already graduated once from USU. This is purely speculation BUT he may not want to stick around for his senior year of eligibility in 2020-21.2004AG wrote: ↑May 15th, 2019, 9:44 pmA PG to come in and play next year.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
Until I see our "best recruiting class" perform against MWC level competition I am not ready to crown them anything other than a collection foreign projects that haven't played against the best competition to this point.

Like Queta?
People aren't overstating how talented McChesney and Bairstow are. Both are very likely going to be impact players all 4 years

I don't expect either one to have anywhere near the impact that Queta did as a true freshman so anything they can contribute this first year is great. I just hope they don't end up like Fakira or the Knights because this class and the next are going to define how good this staff really is without Sam or Queta on the court (assuming he is gone by at least the end of next year).

Add a distributing point guard that can play next season and call it a day. That's my opinion, anyway.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
If, as reported, the staff is looking for a future P G they had better get rocking. Certainly the college basketball player inventory routinely changes, but hoping for a good athletic and locker room fit and not moving toward a real solution isn't solving any problems. Waiting another season before recruiting a player than can be sorted out and molded into the system doesn't seem to be a functional solution, even with two all MWC conference players already on the team.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
Any high caliber HS recruit is not going to want to redshirt. Seems like those days are over. The good players don’t want to sit out and develop. They want to play. If forced to redshirt they tend to transfer. I wish it wasn’t that way but the exceptions are few and far between in this age of entitlement.

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
They want to play so that they have a redshirt when they transfer up.
Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
Yes, that keeps their redshirt year available for when they eventually transfer due to lack of playing time cause they weren’t ready yet.hipsterdoofus21 wrote: ↑June 3rd, 2019, 8:52 amAny high caliber HS recruit is not going to want to redshirt.

Any idea when we will get news on the last scholarship being filled. Seems like all the dominos would have fallen by now. Will they possibly just go with 12 scholarship players?

Re: Projecting Next Season's Depth Chart
That has been discussed as a possibility but I would still expect the staff to fill the final spot prior to the season starting. As you all can tell, the coaching staff is being very slow and deliberate about whom they choose to use the final scholarship.
