Starting Center: Obvious, ideally someone who can stretch the floor a little and has good hands/passing ability for position. Need someone with a more diversified game than say a Kidd/Poteat Combo Guard: Essentially a more consistent Jaydon Young here, someone 6-3 to 6-5 that can shoot, be a tertiary playmaker, and solid defender. Naheim Alleyne type role. Veteran PG: Don’t need a 15ppg stud here, just an experienced guard who can share the mins with Hammond as he continues to develop, ideally someone with a good AST/TO ratio. Versatile 4/5 defender: Haven’t had someone with this skillset since Nguessan (The combo of Long/Beran could’ve been in theory) and I think it’s partly why our rim protection has been so poor last 3 seasons. Someone with length that can rebound well and give 10-15 solid mins to spell Lawal/the 5. 1-2 Reclamation projects: that’s just the nature of where we are, we don’t have the luxury of Louisville where they have 8-10M to spend in the portal. We’re gonna have to find 1-2 guys coming off poor/weird seasons that CMY thinks he can get more out of. TJ Power and Darren Harris would be interesting lotto tickets here, TJ coming off a bad year at UVA, almost got him in portal last year. Darren is buried on the Duke bench, similar situation to Schutt. Has familiarity with Hammond, believe we recruited him in HS before his stock went up That would be 5-6 guys to replace the 5 that we lost, with the 2 HS guys replacing the 2 graduating seniors (unsure if Severn counts or not). Too early to discuss names, but those are the archetypes that successful CMY teams have IMO.
