The 2017 recruiting class is a ways off yet, but it is where our coaches are spending a lot of their recruiting efforts right now.
What do we know about that class at this point in time? We know that we will be replacing at least three positions, Senglin, Gittens, and Hill. We also know that we will be getting Riley Court back from his mission in the summer of 2017. On paper, that leaves two grants available. Riley being a guard, one would think that we would be looking for one guard and one big man. The list I have seen, may or may not be accurate, includes 5 guards and 7 big men. There will be others added to the list over the next year and there will always be some that are not known to anyone outside the program. It is always quite fluid.
I like everyone listed on the Verbal Commits page. I don't want to single any of them out at this point because so much can change between now and next summer. A couple of the kids are potential missionaries and that could add to the number we sign. My guess is that we will try to sign 3 or 4 players. One or two guards and one or two big men. We don't have any true centers on our list, but I expect that some will be added.
