Right now we are back to 4 open scholarships, assuming Lewis Djonkam is still committed (by the way I wish PSN would follow up on that). If we were to look at this by class, right now we have: 2 Seniors (James & Robinson), 2 juniors (Smith & Krivacevic), 3 sophomores (Lewis, Littleson & Randall) and 2 freshman (Djonkam & Dunn-Martin).

If that's the case I would want Jackson, Ballantyne, Washington, and a grad transfer that could start and play the 4 or 5. Doesn't have to be the best player on the team but if he could rebound, defend, and play smart basketball that would go a long way for next season. How many scholarship players is a team allowed to carry on its roster? I am assuming this includes players on scholarship that have to sit out a year - Dunn-Martin and Randall. The four I really like are Jackson, Collins, Washington and Ballantyne and I'd like to get them all, but if we are only allowed 3 than I would take Jackson, Collins and Ballantyne (if getting Jackson is a package deal) as you still have another big (Djonkam) coming in. I really think we need a shooting guard, especially next year, to go with the needed bigs and with Robinson, Djonkam and Ballantyne or Washington you would have at least 3 bigs. I know 4 bigs would be better, but we may not have that luxury. Again, somehow I would like to get all four guys. My bad, I just forgot about my new favorite Hungarian! So I would definitely say go with Collins, Jackson and Ballantyne or Washington if we only have 3 left. That gives us still 4 bigs for next year - Robinson, Djonkam and Ballantyne or Washington, plus Krivacevic.

Open Scholarships
What I would like to see us recruit is (just my wish list): The best grad transfer SF we can find, I we were to get a grad transfer this would get us back to three scholarships for 2018. Then I would push for Jackson (PG), Ballantyne (PF/C), & Collins (SG/SF) that would give us 5 freshman (I don't think we want more than 5 freshman). The fall backs would be Colon (PG), Washington (SF./PF) and the best available grad transfer, or JUCO (SG).
