There's a point guard on the market who wouldn't immediately be eligible until next season: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/61275/ronnie-johnson

Pointguard is the least of our needs.

Small forward = Power Forward > Center > Shooting guard > Point Guard

if we are trying to recruit for just next year i.e. a 5th year senior type i think the priority is someone who can come off the bench and bang in threes from the corner.

if we are still trying to recruit for the future (non-Semi transfer), then a true freshman big who is willing to red shirt should be the goal.

IMO the highest priority is/should be a legit shooter.

any targets that we are pursuing that fit this?

I'm honestly not sure. In my mind I'm picturing a bigger wing type, like Gilson Dejesus. #bruceketball works best with multiple shooters on the floor and besides PG development, that's probably my biggest concern for next year.

I am very optimistic that JT and Nigel will turn into real decent PGs with an entire off season to develop and learn the system.

wes looks like rod did at this stage so im pumped about him, if nigel progresses he will be solid. need jevon to shoot better but i think our wings/guards can all shoot pretty good for freshman. go big now because we all see how important it was against good teams

Where does Neville Fincher play in all of this?  Is he even an option anymore?

Yep, Troy Holston would be an incredible oscar Weber player and would play behind Westicles day one. Hopefully it doesn't work out with him and USF new coach.
Also, Trey Harris is a very good shooter the question about him is how will he be in the weight room.

He will be a 2015 recruit, believe Eric Cobb is higher on our recruiting depth chart then him.

Isn't Neville pretty mediocre at best?

[Mixed-Nutz]

Has Good length and is above average athletically. Very raw, projecting players out of JUCO is hard.

Do we want Cimino

a scoring big makes guys better shooters, good bigs creates more room for guards

guys on this level, even ones we already have, will hit open shots

Not to derail this thread, but I don't understand how people don't use swype. Its fantastic. Maybe just for old(er) people?

I tried it..but honestly it wasn't faster for me. Maybe if I used it longer it would be.

I tried it when it was first introduced and hated it because it was super laggy, updates have made it much faster. It's also interesting for me to see what common nouns are in the Swype dictionary. Nerd, I know.
