As we learned from McNair last fall, a roster isn't set until the school year begins, but I post this now anyway. 

Key = (year of eligibility) College 2023/24: Minutes per game, 3 Point %, Free Throw %, Rebounds per game, Assists per game, Points per game @ College Played for

Looks good to me with the addition of a preferred walk on that was added about 3-4 weeks ago. His name escapes me.

And there’s some buzz about BJ Freeman.

Really happy that the roster is almost complete on April 15th.

I think todays announcement pretty much takes program out of the Freeman hunt. I realize, they don't have to compete for the same po. but two 1-year elig. wings who consider themselves NBA prospects? Again I don't see it.

As for what they are now looking for to hit 13man roster IDK. But I think they could use another shooter/scorer
and it will probably be another name that really hasn't surfaced yet (like today). The Dion Brown, DJ DAvis trails have gone cold. I hope AR doesn't freak out Friday when the former UVa,UGA no-visit commit, gets his first look at the Prov. boutique campus.

I think, for some reason, Cteve thinks JAR takes Freeman's spot, which isn't true. The staff is zooming with him today and, based on his IG live, Freeman seemed very excited about our recent pick-ups, including JAR.

JAR took the spot that would've gone to Griffiths.

Please see first post for most recent and accurate information!

I like/want to believe Coach English has quickly built a roster to fit his system and that that system includes faster play, even more aggressive defense, and minutes spread across the many capable players on the roster.

When he lands another transfer guard who shoots the three and plays D better than all those currently committed, look out for the Friars in 2024/25!

Can't wait!

How many above average BE players are on that roster? Sorry to be the dark cloud but it seems we're eons away from the '13/'14 and '21/'22 Friar rosters. (BTW, I appreciate 93's posting of this, helps a ton.)

It’s going to come down to who we get for this last spot (Freeman?) and if Joseph can do things he didn’t really show at Miami like Durham did for us
