While I think our current starting 5 are solid A10 players, I’m worried about our depth moving forward. IMO we have 3 very good starters and 2 young players who have showed potential.
We also have a very good looking transfer who should be ready as a starter next year. That gives us a solid 6 man rotation.
Obviously we have 3 FR who have played a little in the first two games. So these are young men we need to give time more to develop and evaluate. But the rest of the roster has some question marks as A10 quality players. We only have 1 spot to bring in Tyler Burton next year who looks like a promising player.
So my question to the group is if you were the AD and the coach how would you handle the current roster situation. I personally don’t like suggesting pushing players out but if I were on the hot seat as a coach I would certainly consider it. If I was the AD I would potentialltly suggest to the coach to do what he needs to do to make the future better.
I’m generally not a fan of it but scholarships are considered year to year. We have a grad transfer who technically has another year, who has contributed but might not have much more upside. We also have 2 redshirt freshman who have not really cracked the rotation. If you were Mooney or Hardt would you push to move on from some of these players if you know you can sign another A10 quality+ player or have the inside track to another transfer like Francis.
Just trying to start conversation. I’m torn on the topic and wanted to get others perspectives. But there could be the potential to open up 1 to 3 more spots for next year whether that’s another FR and/or another transfer. Thoughts?
