Will fit perfectly to create that 3 headed monster down low. Now let’s sign Baker and bring on Symir for next year and we will be set.

How will he score?

I'm guessing by putting the ball through the hoop? Maybe off the backboard first in some cases.

Depth is good. 
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

Size issue addressed.  I guess we will have a season after all.

I like this. We will be a different team than the past two seasons, but hopefully the improvement on the defensive end and rebounding will make up for lost shooting. It will also be interesting to see more slashing from Kobe and Greg. Pick and roll game will hopefully improve as well.

Morrow to PF... morrow was solid last year down low. Here’s hoping he is working on his 6-8 foot jumper

I still doubt we play big most of the time. This gives us more depth and the ability for our bigs to stay fresh. Our bigs can be aggressive and not worry about foul trouble now.

5- Jayce 12, Theo 20, Ed 8
4- Jayce 8, Ed 8, others 24.

Don't think any of the 3 will average more than 22 MPG or so. Ed has never averaged more than 23. Theo never more than 19. Jayce never more than 21.

As a senior Ed will get more than 16 minutes.

Why? He got 15 as a junior. Even if you're right I bet they come at the expense of Theo and Jayce, not the guards or wings.

This solves our foul trouble from the center spot.

Yep, problem is I don't see much of that from a normal PF position from Ed

He's an interesting recruit. Looks like he was a 4 star in 2015 with offers from Notre Dame, Kansas, Arizona State and Colorado. Looks like his final recruitment came from Colorado and Utah.

Had a 93 grade and was injured his junior year. Not sure whether we're getting a really strong type or another Matt Heldt.

Because he's one of our best, most experienced players.

Only the fifth best grad transfer on ESPN's rankings.

Does that means we're NOT getting Kerry Blackshear?

Yeah, I remember when we played Standford in the NCAAs, thinking, wow, playing both Lopez brothers won't work out at all.

We'll see how it works offensively, but Johnson could lead to some ferocious zone defense looks. Guys like McEwen, Elliott, and Anim in the backcourt, wings like Cain & Bailey, and shot blockers like Theo, Ed, and Johnson inside could be interesting. Would really be effective against teams that struggle to score from outside.
