Scholarship table
Opens up a spot for a transfer in.
We have three freshmen coming in with no scholarship seniors graduating. Not sure how we have one open with three guys transferring out. Were we already one under the limit?
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

An insane 7 dunks/40 min!
I told you kids a month or two ago not to worry about being over the limit. I said Ellis and Itejere would be leaving. More talent is coming in and these two would have to excel to get past the newcomers and get minutes coming off the bench. Of course it was encouraging to see their names on the roster and expectations were high. But not high sky. That was what a year ago? What you don't want to do is go to the portal and sign someone now. Save it for a freshman somewhere who wants to jump from somewhere and sign an intent to play at MU. Smart has built his reputation being straight with his players. About their roles and playing time. How do you divide up 40 minutes? If players leave because they can't play enough to meet their expectations as a player or as someone who can contribute to a winning team, it's a sign of progress. Player development. Sorry about the kids comment. It wasn't meant to be snarky. Anyone younger than 60 is a kid to me. As far as the team goes--- The team has never been in greater shape since the seventies. Enjoy it. Next year will be special.
WE STILL NEED A 6'11" RIM PROTECTOR NEXT YEAR TO SOLIDIFY THE ROSTER AND TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
It really isn't that big of a need.If Oso is back he is play 30+ minutes. Ben Gold will develop enough to be trusted for the other 10 and he had a solid block rate this season, he just could get minutes.He was solid to finish the season though. He will be awesome for this program.
Gold is like Mel Counts of the old NBA. He is a good shot but too skinny. I would still like a 6'11 to 7 footer who can rebound, block shots and dunk.

Gold can do all that. He will add muscle with the help of Todd Smith.
I agree …MU needs a big / strong/ rebounding 4/5 that can back up OSO and play 15 mins a game. The one “ missing “ piece …
