Elohim is without doubt a starter
and will be one of our two starting wings. He would replace Bedford in our line up and IMO has the potential to be a breakout scorer. Top 50 player coming out of HS.
Heide could start in place of Gurdak for anyone who anticipated Gurdak as the starting 5. He looks like a better and more athletic defender and shot blocker than Gurdak and is nearly as good finisher in the paint. If we land some great 5 or stretch 5 Heide would still be a rotational piece and play a lot of minutes.
Atak is a good prospect as well, having a good season as a true freshman at OU, He is a rotational piece at 4 behind Hansberry. I am not sure who he can guard at this point without watching more video. But, he averaged over 12 minutes a game for OU and had an overall PER of 19.8 which is impressive for a true freshman playing that many minutes. He shoots a lot from behind the arc, making 41.3% of his attempts.
All 3 are solid pick ups regardless of whether they start or play in our rotation, and should fit well around our core 3 returning starters. That said, we still need more depth, particularly a back up point guard for Hammond, and another Big.
I’m not sure what CMY has in mind for Hull, but I have no expectations of him. Guess we’ll see when the time comes.

The fact we are signing bench players from the Colonial is really pathetic.
