Next year's scholarships

[march madness]

Next Year:

PG: Willis, Asuma, Tomes
SG: Asuma, Kai S.
SF: Portal?, N. Anderson
PF: JCJ , Durkin, Grove
C: Vailhola, JCJ, Mpoyi

I really think they need a good scoring wing, who is also athletic and strong, to replace some of what Reynolds brought 6-5+, over 200lbs. Of course, if Niko does this that is 12 scholarships. Meaning Turner and Omot aren't?

10- you counted JCJ twice. I am going to assume that of the 13 that could be here (Stephens also), 3-4 of them are not coming back. That leaves perhaps 5 portal openings. That's about right. The talent has to improve. I like the idea of going after 3-4 quality portal guys instead of trying to get 9-10 of them. I think Niko will do great in the portal. He sure got some quality guys this year in a short span. Reynolds, Durkin, Tyson, JCJ and Willis were all good gets and maybe Vaihola as well.

Not so sure they will spend a big bag on him, considering that he does what Tomes will do. I like Evans though.

I don't know it's even worth doing this exercise. We literally have 0 idea who will be back in this day and age of NIL. You can have the best staff, program, playing time etc and all that can mean 0 if someone else has a bag of $ waiting for someone.

I have also been keeping an eye on Evans, his playing time has taken a dip. I wouldn't mind taking another UNC reclamation project next year.

I would be pleasantly surprised if Tomes contributes much as a Gopher. Not that quick, no defensive interest at all, 5'11", funky shot that goes in but it starts at his chest...defended by a long armed 6'5 quick intense defender he'll be in trouble. Game is very ball dominant.
He could grow, he seems a bit quicker as a senior so maybe he improves his quickness.
Love to be wrong about his upside.
Tomes Scores 50

Evans would be a good get for a year.. Let Tomes be his under study for a year…

Easiest sell in the world for Niko. I'm sure Tyson took a pay cut, and playing here might get him drafted.

I'd much rather have him than Willis. But you can't have too many guards.

Huge need is to sign 2-3 excellent three point shooters. That roster you listed is full of either unproven in college or poor deep shooters, and that sunk us today vs Wisconsin.
