Backcourt depth is crazy. Small in the frontcourt but there is a lot of talent.

Plus Wilfong.

Sure would like to see another big guy, like 6'10" or above, join this class.
Are there any left who are worth anything?

I want to start by saying I love Ben moore as a player. He is really athletic for his size and I think we have all seen the flashes these last 2 years that he can be a really good interior scorer if he gets his head right. That said he will have to up his game considerably because semi can play. Semi just got unlucky that duke landed some truely great (lottery pick type talent) at his position. It doesn't matter if your a really good player if your team has a great player at your position. Plus semi will have the benefit of practicing withe the team for a year before he plays his first game.

We need a big body that can play defense so we won't get out muscled inside and can protect the rim. We won't need any offense from that person other than rebounding and passing. If we getting that we will be rediculous next year if every one comes back. That much depth will wear down every team you play. Also I wouldn't be surprised if lb can start playing more full court man if we have that kind of guard depth.

Hearing we are still hard after 2 big men for the last scholarship in this class. Don't know exactly who, but one of them might be out in the Carolinas? So I'm confident we'll address the minor depth issue in this class. Suppose it's a major one if Markus doesn't make it back. Really need 4 solid guys at the 4/5 to compete.

Simeon Carter from Charlotte is one of the bigs we're still after. He also has offers from VT, Nebraska, and Maryland. Visited for the UCF game, I think

Just took a look at the ESPN top 100, and there are still a boatload of Bigs that hasn't committed to any places (7 Bigs in the top 25 hasn't committed anywhere). Might as well reach out and take a punt at them. Getting one to swing this way will be big for us!

IF Markus comes back, we're not that thin upfront.

Most likely they are playing games-holding out for highest offer or wanting to announce at an All-Star Game. You can be sure that Larry Brown has turned the rock over on every big kid that could help us.

Need a big no question. Got hosed this class

Semi won't be eligible until December.

Does anyone know the status of Rasheed Sulaimon? Is he looking to transfer and if so, would he be someone we got possibly target? He was a pretty big deal when he was attending Strake Jesuit a couple years back.

Don't think we will target Sulaimon. We have so many guards already and Sulaimon would have to go through an entire year of sitting out without getting into trouble before becoming eligible. My uninformed guess is that he goes D-League
