One big question is always what are the positions of need. I think center is the clear priority, followed by an athletic wing, and then a PG (or CG). Thoughts?
Center has to be the top priority. Don't think we are going to be getting a commitment from one of the top available (Battin or Young) but I'm hoping we are still in the running for some of the Midwestern guys (recent offers Hedstrom and Heiman along with Sotos HS teammate Davis). I'd love to be wrong but Paul Newman is not a long term answer for us at the center position so it's pretty crucial to land one in this class. Possible early playing time could be a selling point
As for the other positions, I'd much prefer a CG to a PG since I think Sotos will be able to handle the point. And if he can't as a sophomore, I think Kimbal would be fine to run point as a senior as long as Avi can come along and be the scorer he was in high school. I see Andrew Funk as a realistic commitment. Catto or Ellis would be nice gets because they could play a little bit of SG or SF depending on our lineup being 6-5. Tougher competition for those two though.
As for a wing, I like the options that we have. Nesmith is now out of reach but I think Friberg would be a good addition. Good shooter and is having a very good summer like Zach 4 years ago. Hopefully we can get the local product on campus for an official
