So your assertion here is that there is no doubt Ihnen and Fox will have 0 effects of their major injuries, TT will be good, our 4 freshman will all be able to play a big role and Cooper is a stud. If all those things happen and we have 0 injuries we're set! Heck you said 3 could get hurt and we still are pretty set.
Wow, there's optimism and there is that. Good for you! I meanwhile will choose to leave in reality ha
I haven't asserted that at any point. But, what I have asserted is that adding three marginal players right now won't change much in terms of wins or losses if we go through some hardships. So, I would not clutter the roster in year two with marginal players, especially if they are multi-year players. For a number of reasons I've already cited. That's all.
I said if you had ten quality scholarships guys who can play, three could get hurt and you can still get by. Any more than that and you're in trouble, even if you added three guys who were otherwise going to ride the pine all year. There are no difference makers at the end of the bench. But, if you want to add some bodies to help yourself fall asleep at night, power to you.
As I mentioned, if Ben found a great sharpshooter, I'd be on board with adding one. Short of that, I'm good placing some good faith and trust in the roster that's there, including guys they worked hard to recruit.
Bottom line, if Ben can't recruit well enough to get 10 good scholarship guys here, adding #11, #12, and #13 is not going to make one bit of difference. May not be this year that he has 10 good scholarship guys, but playing the young guards could ensure they do next year, etc.
Very few teams fill their 13 scholarships unless it is filling it out by rewarding seldom-used walkons. There's a reason for that.
