Well to be fair they do have 12 already - just one less than the normal maximum. You get two more, and 14 players aren't going to be in the rotation. So you're gonna have 4 unhappy guys riding the pine. No one they've recruited so far appears to be intended to be role players. That said, they're still offering guys, so obviously they don't intend to stop adding players if they can get the right ones.

maybe this is the true realization of JC's "mayhem" where tall, quick athletic guards hound you everywhere. probably couldn't have done this with previous personnel? Fine. Then bring in 2 more! Leaving 2 empty chambers in the gun isnt a good move.

Yup, 3 are freshman, 3 are transfers (all the same size) and 3 are strictly centers. Doesnt ease my mind.

I don't know if you're gonna see the prototypical 6'8, 6'9 power forward you want even if they do bring in more. That's not really Carm's game. More likely they would bring in another 6'7 athletic swingman who can run the floor in the mold of Golson. Other than EJ Anosike, they don't appear to be reaching out to anyone in that mold - but to be fair, we've been surprised by some of the guys they've brought in, having had no clue they were even contacted. Either way, based on the contact with players in the portal we've seen reported I suspect Carm isn't done for this recruiting cycle.

Not smart, I guarantee you’ll see some unexpected exodus late or an injury or two that’ll derail and upset the apple cart. This past season should provide a glaring example of Murphy’s Law. In this environment all chambers need to be loaded with the best available!

Is he a good enough shooter from outside to play there? Can he defend against more athletic "4s". Is the answer to both is "yes" maybe we will be okay ther.

In this environment all chambers need to be loaded with the best available! My bet is they use one if they find a difference maker. The second scholy would put them at 14, allowed but likely over budget especially since the 14th guy on the roster is unlikely to play. That said, still 2 1/2 months left for guys in the program to consider other options so who knows. Would also allow them to bring in a guy in January like they did with Carpenter.

Arrington is the biggest guy on our team (6'10"). Maybe he can run the point? The MM Ben Simmons.

Maybe use the last spot for a recruiter walk in with local ties to fill the practice roster if nothing else

Shocker! Jimmy Boeheim to Syracuse. NCAA should investigate. I understand that the coach has been providing wee Jimmy room and board for some time, and even paying an allowance!!

Good player. Although in head to head games Rogers pretty much held his own against Webster. I’m good, I like our guy.
