We have depth for sure. But our first two off the bench definitely won't be forwards, let alone freshman.

I hate seeing Taylor and Elijah down there. I think Elijah has a great summer of development and comes off the bench first.

I could see Taylor as a PWO- RS potentially (frees up a scholarship). He showed amazing promise as a freshman last year, the concussion just messed him up.

I look forward to the next few weeks. Finals are next week so we should know something right around mothers day.

Was not listing in order off the bench. Just listing the six I see as coming off the bench.

Lol at the thought of Taylor being a walkon. I can assure you that is not happening. And yes, you will hear some movement on the roster in the next week or so.

It's definitely not outside the realm of possibility considering that is what he was offered initially when we were recruiting him... It was going to be 5 years with year 1 being a RS PWO, and a scholarship the next 4 years.

That was then and this is now. .000000000001 chance of that happening. There are numerous scenarios that will happen before this even happens. I already know what will happen within the next week or so. This comes from my source.

I don’t think TB would be here if MM’s scholarship hadn’t become available. He’s not going to be a walk on. He had and has options. More than most considering his baseball potential.

1,000 point scorers on the horizon:

Key needs 332 points---if healthy he should pass 1,000 points. pretty impressive considering how many games he's missed including most of his freshman year.
Phil needs 229 points---if healthy he will soar way past 1,000 in only 3 years
MY needs 469 points---if healthy he should eclipse 1,000 points in only 2 seasons (last done by Tyler Brown). that's really tough to do.

These 3 guys really need to taste NCAA tourney success. they deserve it.

V Boy, I have to ask . . . Did Dan think you thought we needed 18-19 pieces for next year?
