Noah Dickerson is definitely intriguing and I agree Thon seems to good to be true and could cause a lot of problems.

In Terms of Bielfeldt, keep in mind we are simply trying to replace the depth Hanner added. Bielfeldt had very similar stats to Hanner last year with no attitude or disciplinary issues. This experienced depth with similar talent along with the fact that hes only eligible for one year (opening up scholarship room for a more talented player down the road) makes him a perfect late recruit to replace Hanner.

Because his academics are strong and he is graduating a semester earlyl

That’s a good comparison.

Like watford?

Well it all matters on when he graduates from high school. If it does take him another half year to graduate, then I believe that we could have him for an extra year because the NBA draft eligibility rule states that a player must be one year removed from high school to be eligible. However there always may be loopholes and in every 2016 mock draft that i have seen, he has been on there since he decided to reclassify.

I kinda doubt the would bring him back for just one year, and his scholarship is valuable for upcoming seasons.

I believe it is because it would take that long for his academics to be at the point where he could “graduate”. Basically, he needs the credits to graduate at the normal time.

That was my argument for Dickerson as well. You didn’t mention that he would get a year of conditioning and practicing with Troy, TB, & Holt. He could be ready to start next year when/if needed.

Please help me out, I know of zero commitments for 2016 yet, with the certainty that Yogi is gone, that Troy is likely gone, that James is a real possibility to be gone, and that Nick is definitely gone. That is 4 open scholarships for 2016. Thomas may even be gone, but I hope for 2 years from him.

You mean like half of the tall European players in the NBA?

I’d love to have Maker (and another point guard). I read somewhere that a player can’t just play one semester and then head to the league. Is that true? If so, would that mean we’d have Maker for a year and a half? But I think it is also a risk bringing him in because of eligibility issues.

I’d give it a 0.00000001% chance! Laughing

Dickerson by far is the best option for us. He would come in and challenge for a starting spot at the 4 and be a starter next year for sure! He is a beast on the boards and has that edge and toughness. I really hope to get him if anyone on this board. Then we could focus on just recruiting guards and centers for 2016.

Juwan is a post player. Maybe not back to the basket but still a post player.

Saying that, I think Dickerson would be a good addition as well. I haven’t been keeping a close eye on the 2016 recruiting board so don’t know we really want out of that class, but it might be nice for Dickerson to get some experience with the players we’ll probably lose after the 2015/16 season (especially Troy). That gives a little continuity to the team.

I believe we’re going to have a big 2016/17 class, so a little continuity might be a good thing if it’s with a talented player. Sort of smooth out that recruiting bump.
