I'll take Mo Bamba's stats please
Why is Foster the most likely to be college ready? His long-term potential based ranking?
Foster may be a center longer term, but I bet he sees more minutes as a 4 than he does a five. Will be interesting to see how he does defensively at the 4, which will likely determine his playing time more than his offense. I saw Jacobsen as a center trapped in a 4's body. Just from what I read, Foster may think of himself as a three trapped in a 5's body!
I don't disagree with your points, yet also realize last year was not the year to evaluate two bigs, or how Prohm could effectively use them because:
- We didn't have great shooting from all three of the other positions around them
- They weren't great one on one away from the paint on D
- Those weren't three great rebounding bigs
- None of the three could really stretch the D to guard them consistently out to the three point line
-From a height standpoint, both Solo and Jacobson were over matched, and Conditt was from a weight/strength standpoint. Will be interesting to see how George and Xavier show up.
-We have more depth with better length at the 3 & 4 than we did last year, but it is mostly unproven. How much those players step up may be the key to effective we can be and how often you see two of the three "bigs" on the roster on the floor.
DJ Carton get a waiver. Hopefully Harris does too.
basically 60 day turnaround from when he committed to MU
He did have documented mental health issues during the season so not quite similar to Harris.
Hard Pass on Nojel Eastern
Hard to even imagine this stat...
He averaged 4.9 points a game this year, never made a single three-pointer, shot only 42 percent from the field and made just 45.5 percent of his free throw.

a two time all big 10 defense player is not someone you pass on, especially when you’re looking at banking two scholarships instead
Our offense has not been a problem. Even last year it wasn't the glaring issue. It's been our defense. Eastern would 1000% help that. We have good offensive guys, let's build that defense up.
