Head over to the test board. That'll work.I hate this positive feeling. How do I reconcile this with the great feeling of despair I had been enjoying?
With the number of coaching changes and HS seniors getting released, standard transfers from that turnover, upcoming grad transfers, etc., I’ll be very surprised if we’re not adding 4-5 new guys into the squad next year.True, but it's late in the cycle for the next (2021) class. Think it would be pretty tough for Coach Shrews to pull more than 1-2 rabbits out of the hat, if any.
Just the thought of the Test Board should do the trick.Head over to the test board. That'll work.

Of course there is a chanceAny chance we can pick up one of these guys in the portal who can make an immediate impact?
A fresh young coach with a good track record could excite some interest, so yes. Franklin did itAny chance we can pick up one of these guys in the portal who can make an immediate impact?
Shrews has 5 schollies to work with if all of the starters + Lundy returns. 4 if Trent returns too. 3 if Trent and Kelly return. Shrews has plenty of schollies to work with, either way.
Lots of job openings and coaching changes in the last couple days. so places like Marquette and Texas will have players entering the portal and though unlikely, may take a shot here if the new coach goes after them.A fresh young coach with a good track record could excite some interest, so yes.

Brockington is a solid player. He's willing to take it inside and he's a very good FT shooter. Two areas where he needs to improve are 3 pt shooting and going to his right. It took a while but the league has finally learned to overplay his left hand.Great, I think he can even get better in the right offensive set.
Harrar is crucial. He doesn't replace the need for a PF who can score inside but he's a fierce competitor and team leader. Besides, we don't have anybody else at that position.Awesome news! Would love for Harrar to return and get a big or two either as incoming frosh or from the portal. They'd likely get PT right away.
He also needs to learn when to go to the hole and to go with control. He tends to force his drives and do so out of control.Brockington is a solid player.

Abdou, after an off-season and OOC to get in the swing of it, is "another person" at that position. It would be GREAT for JH to return, but Abdou will be a solid backup to him, IMO. The guy has loads of raw potential.Harrar is crucial. He doesn't replace the need for a PF who can score inside but he's a fierce competitor and team leader.

Gotta believe he’s not coming back alone.
I think Jones is gone for sure. Same with Wheeler. I’m not as certain about the others.
Why wouldn't Harrah? He was interviewed and essentially said blue and white was in his blood and how much he absolutely loved the university.I understand why Wheeler is very likely gone, having followed Ferry to PSU.
But why wouldn't Jones strongly consider coming back if some of his friends from the team return and he develops a relationship with Shrew during his contact with PSU's new coach and staff?
Harrah & Wheeler were attached to the hip (including being roomies) during their time here, so if one returns, we could get both. Jones is a real quiet kid who fit in here very well. We shall see.Harrar is crucial. He doesn't replace the need for a PF who can score inside but he's a fierce competitor and team leader. Besides, we don't have anybody else at that position.
Per a recent tweet, Jones is gone. Best of luck to him -- he has to have loads of interest and can go to a school that will definitely get him in the tourney. I can't fault him.Harrah & Wheeler were attached to the hip (including being roomies) during their time here, so if one returns, we could get both.

The kid is from Alabama and they have a really good coach and team down there. It would not surprise me if he transferred there at all.Per a recent tweet, Jones is gone.

Harrar and Wheeler would be welcome additions to most top schools but there's a decent chance they wouldn't start.Harrah & Wheeler were attached to the hip (including being roomies) during their time here, so if one returns, we could get both.
