Has Oswin "officially " decided to re-class or is that still up in the air? I think Floyd may need to transfer just to get more playing time. He plays hard and seems to be a good kid but it seems as English adds more talent Floyd will get less minutes based on his production. I would think Castro will find a better location based on his ability. I always feel a roster needs 2 PG and a 3rd SG who can cover in an emergency. So Floyd could be the 3rd or if he transfers, that would that another person with some PG skills

As far as deciding, yes, 2024 is the plan. |

If we have any expectations for next year, yes. We need to get old, and experienced. The known components or potential components coming back, and Kim's desire to have "13 dudes" next season tells me we need some vets who have been through some wars, or at least know how to get through the wars. Look at this years All Big East Freshmen team...outside of Castle, the young kids are getting swallowed up in this league. Barron made the team averaging 4.3ppg and 1.3rpg. |

Why do people see Eli leaving. He was brought in knowing it was a redshirt year so he could learn and get stronger.

Plus we need his scholarship for a good player. A good player with a Big East body. Eli doesn't have a Big East body. Carter and Hopkins have Big East bodies for their positions, it has a lot to do with their success. Are Clingan or Kalbrenner more skilled than Oduro? No, but they have 5 and 5 inches on him, and outweigh him by 40 and 30lbs, using that to their advantage. |

Those matchups were a draw. Other than those 2, how many other BE teams have players that size playing meaningful minutes? |

Sorry, maybe I didn't articulate my point correctly. I was trying to say Oduro is much more skilled than both, but as you say, the other two were able to play him to a "draw". In my mind the only way that was able to happen, is because they had a size adavatage on him. |

Plus we need his scholarship for a good player. You know nothing about him, so how can you intimate he is not a good player. All you experts amaze me. Give the kid an opportunity to show if he is good or not. |
