Around SBN: Where Do The Lakers Go From Here?

Spots...

So I'm not generally one to do this, but I started worrying about the spots in our class. I'm sure that the coaches will work it out, but it's really looking complicated.

We currently have 30 commitments plus Andre Sterling and Aaron Hawkins. So that's 32 players who need to split 25 scholarships.

We have been told that Stephen Houston and Eric Smiley are sign and place. That's back down to 30. Gabriel Hunter and Evan Swindall will greyshirt. Now we're down to 28.

But that's where it ends. We don't know who, if anyone else, will greyshirt or fail to qualify. So we're three over the limit RIGHT now.

We're looking at a lot of players who are at least strongly considering us. We may not get a single one, but things look promising with a few. Raymond Cotton, Pat Patterson, Corey Gaines, Alex Williams, Mike Marry and Jesse Grandy have all hinted that we lead. If we only get half of those, that puts us over the limit by SEVEN.

Like I said before, I'm sure the coaches have a plan, but I really hope that plan isn't to spring a greyshirt on six players who think they're really signing scholarship papers with us.

Have any of you heard anything about other players failing to qualify or greyshirting?

Yeah. I actually didn't include Berg at all. Just forgot. So we're still sitting with the same number.

There are two or three more that will walk on or greyshirt.
Not sure who but I hear we will be fine on the numbers game.

Is Zaccheus Mason going to play basketball too?

"Z" (as the kids call him) has personally stated that he wants to play football in college and that's it.

I'm as excited for Z as I am for anyone else in this class. That guy reminds me of UNC's WR Hicks that just declaired for the draft.

Berg will greyshirt, I also think punter Tyler Campbell and new kicker Andrew Ritter will also delay enrollment. The only reason Ritter hesitated to commit was because he would not receive a full scholly until 2010.

If Tyler Campbell delays enrollment, who will be our punter?

by Juco All-American on Feb 2, 2009 11:17 PM EST reply actions  

I think Turtle redshirted one year.

Maybe walk on, I remember around the time of his commitment that there was an understanding that his scholarship situation was on the sketchy side. Either way, this class is shaping up nicely. With the likely addition of Ray Cotton and the possibility of landing Massie, Patterson, or Marlon Brown, the class is looking more promising by the day.
