Re: BU Departures
Posted: April 10th, 2014, 9:04 amI wouldn't count Bell as a strike out. He can shoot and play defense. But yeah, 2 hits in 3 years ain't good.
Zecevic doesn't surprise me, but I was hoping Swop could stick around and develop into a good player. I don't think Geno has the luxury of time on his side for that though, and apparently Swop wasn't very coachable. I'm afraid I'll be reading about his all conference campaigns somewhere else.
Our depth chart looks like this now:
Sutherland/Bell/Fields
Amerson/Grier
Barnes
Shaw/Thomas
Taylor/Wells (Yikes! Never thought I'd ask this, but can we find a way to give Prosser another year?)
If we land Cunningham I'll get excited. That might move Barnes to the bench, in which case we'll have a hell of a 6th man. I know that may not sound ideal, but would you promise a top 100 recruit a starting spot? I know I would. Hopefully Fields and Wells will get their degrees and part ways after this next year. Lesson learned: If you recruit a young transfer, you'd better make sure he can play. If he can't, he'll be stuck here because he can't go to another D-I without losing a year of eligibility.
