Unless we have some unexpected attrition soon, there is no room at the inn for Fabyon. |

So I figured Fabyon going forward wouldn't include us if this were true, but he may just enjoy listing another high major as being interested. Who knows.
I'm still of the mindset that if this kid wants to come here you find a way to make room. To me hes a player at a position of need and immediately makes this team better. Jmo.

As you said though unless something changes as of now we don't have a scholarship for him.
I know it's probably not CCM style, but if Fabyon wanted to come here id tell Reese to go to prep school, or still see about miller transferring. Fabyon would bring much more than either of those 2 to this team next year. I understand though that he most likely won't though, but hey I can still hope. |

| Would much rather have a big man for next year if we have one more scholly.

| But all those guys except Yemi will be gone after next season. Need forwards more at this point IMO. |

I dont want to add anymore "project" type guys, I think we're last that.
I was looking more at immediately, and worry about the post when that time comes. IMO you add that immediate impact guard and were a 25-35 ranked team to a 10-15 ranked team.
You never know, some think stokes sticks around for 13' so if that happens and yemi progresses still, and you bring in nichols, now your post problems are pretty much solved. Jmo though. |

We are a lot weaker next year at the 1&2 next year than the 4&5 | Yemi (while played well the last two games) hasn't shown consistency and Hall is basically one more strike and done, not too mention Hall is inconsistent also. If Hall gets kicked off, the team if royally screwed.
You also forget that McRae, Edwards, Moore, and Golden can all play the 2 also.

Edwards is a 3 I doubt hell see 1 minute at the 2 unless there's injuries or something or maymon becomes a 3.
Jordy is more effective defensively at the 3 IMO.
As I've said our best rotation next year would've been to add a true pg. the 1 and 2 are our weakest positions and the root of most this teams issues are at the 1&2. The post is this teams strength.

| If there were a difference-maker type post player available, I'd say go for him. If not, I would rather pickup Harris than waste a scholly on a big body project.
We don't have a scholly anyhow, so the point is moot. |
