Roster Turnover

[Knucklehank1]

Right now we have 4 guys signed (Adel, Mitchell, Spalding, McMahon) with 4 guys definitely leaving (Jones, Blackshear, Trez and Agau)

Coach P has talked a lot about getting a graduate transfer or 2 and talking a ton about getting some shooters. So if Rozier leaves, then you have a spot for one grad transfer. As much as he has talked about getting 2 grads though, I suspect at least one guy will probably transfer out as well.

Anyways here are my swings at this (pure guesses):

- Rozier leaves for NBA draft
- We sign 1 grad transfer (Trey Lewis, Damion Lee come to mind)
- One guy transfers (my guess would be Gill going to UNC-Wilmington)
- Maverick Rowan reclassifies to 2015 and signs with the Cards

I want Rowan!

Lee averaged 21.4 PTS per game last year and is 6'6". Lewis averaged 13.1 and played very well against us.

Cards are the frontrunner for Lewis. Also sounds like Mulder is a big option.

So Onuaku is staying. Hope the guy puts in the work in the off-season. He could make a lot of money if he refines his approach to the game.

So now we wait on Shaqquan's decision....

Just curious, where is this being reported?

My sources.

The C spot is secure and competitive. We should see significant improvement next year.
The PF is interesting Johnson, Spalding, and Anas. This is definitely going to be a drop off from this year
The SF is Aaron and Adel. If Aaron buys in that is a good rotation. Aaron has skills just needs to stop pouting and go to work.
The SG is Mitchell. Aaron could fill in.
The PG is Snider. Mitchell can fill in.

The back court is a huge question mark. The kids from Cleveland State and Drexel make a ton of sense. Both are proven shooters. Pitino could move Mitchell to back up Synder with the two fifth year guys rotating at the 2 or 3.

Pretty deep team with quality shooters at the PG, SG and SF.

I was just joking. The Onuaku return is being reported by reputable media sources.

I do think it will be interesting the next couple days in regards to Maverick Rowan and Shaq Aaron. If Aaron decides to leave, does Rowan reclassify? Pitino is meeting with Rowan's family today.

Ok, so Shaq Aaron is staying. I think this is very good news. His frame and attitude need some modification, but there is a reason he was a top 30 recruit.

I think that most likely puts to bed the thought of Rowan reclassifying.

It is now time to recruit the best 5th year guy possible. If that falls through then sign the juco Mulder.

In the words of Lee Corso, not so fast my friends. Still an option.

Don't think it matters regarding Rowan. He changed his AAU team from Addidas to Nike. We have very little chance of landing him now if handlers are involved regardless if he is reclassifying or not.

If Mitchell comes in and plays like I've his high school games Snider maybe backing him up. He is quicker and a better shooter, plus jumps out of the gym.

If he reclassifies, he IS coming to UofL. Now if he doesn't reclassify, I'll be worried about the Nike influence.
