Basketball Season over who do we get?

First off many thanks to Bubba Hotep! I don't follow recruiting and without his posts I would know nothing. So anything I say is just what I have gleamed from his knowledge.

I know we already have one signee, Malik Morgan, a 6'3" shooting guard who can probably play a little backup point guard also. Who else are we going to get?

We definitely need a backup Power Forward to play behind JOB now that Storm has graduated. I think Trent has to sign a 6'8" strong guy that can at least rebound and play defense.

Bubba says we have offered the following players:

Norvel Pelle (C/PF, 6-10, 210)
Orlando Sanchez (PF, 6-8, 210)
Jason Carter (PF, 6-8, 220) Chipola J.C.

From what I read I would be surprised if we get either Pelle or Sanchez. They have other offers from teams who have more basketball prestige than us at the present time. Norvel - UConn, UNLV and Sanchez - Georgetown, St. Johns, Baylor, Providence, Miss. State and Texas A&M. It would tough if either of them end up on another team in our conference but in any case it looks to me like not us.

So it looks like we really need to get Jason Carter who has also been offered by Missouri, a good team who will be in our conference, and Texas Tech who is similar to us in prestige. If we don't get him it looks like some very low ranked payer will be a liability although you never know.

Hopefully we get Hammink at SG which will be great because we need someone with height who can score and beat out Stringer. Shavon Coleman would also be wonderful but when you look at who we are competing against probably not much chance there.

So it looks like not a lot of help on the way. Let's hope Morgan bears up to his press clippings and we can get a big body who will improve and be a surprise. Hammink would put some icing on the cake.

Otherwise let's hope JOB and Turner improve a great deal and really work on their games over the summer and Hamilton hits the weight room as he has shown to not strong enough the last third of the season. And please don't let them be in foul trouble often or it could get ugly.
