Disappointed to not end up with Shannon but never really expected it to end up with him. I just hope he doesn't end up at DePaul.

With Wojcik and Welch committing, how many scholarships do we have left for next year? This is assuming Moser doesn’t fill the last spot this year.

Shannon is a bummer just because of how we were first before he exploded.

Lost in the hype of all his dunks and explosive blocks tho is that his jumpshot probably isn’t where it needs to be right now and I’m not sure how well he’d play in our system initially (think satterwhite but far more explosive... which is saying something). He’s got the chance to be a dominant fast break player moving forward tho; and if he can develop a shot watch out.

We have two spots left for next season. After not filling the additional spot and Tykei returning home.

Last two schollies will be interesting. Do we load up on best players available and have a big freshman class? Add another freshman and a grad transfer for more balanced recruiting? I'm intrigued to see how Moser handles our increased recruiting exposure

Bruno will be our only senior next year. Barring any transfers, if we don't plan ahead it could really limit 2020 recruiting. But if we get two more studs for 2019, who really cares? Something to keep an eye on

The other two names to watch are Tyler Bertram out of Vermont and Andre Gordon out of Ohio. Both are excellent guards in their own right Bertram is now the top ranked talent in Vermont by some services and will be cutting his list to 7 next week (he has 20 some offers I believe). Gordon meanwhile is a two sport star and excels in football as well as basketball. Explosive at the rim... may remind some of Marques Townes....

Kinda crazy how DePaul $nag$ a couple top recruit$ every now and then.

But really, playing in the Big East is a big difference maker, I think. DePaul will still be bottom feeders in the conference.

It's probably still a 50/50 bet whether he actually goes there.
