15 Players On Roster (1 or 2 walk-ons) 2 Centers 3 Forwards (If Robinson returns) 10 Guards
******************************
Robinson and Reese status on team are still unconfirmed by anyone on this forum. Reese's commitment announcement is not a confirmation that he is on scholarship. Preferred walk-ons regularly make HS commitment announcements across the country. College coaches encourage this because it is great marketing and business.
0 scholarship left (If Robinson returns and Reese is on scholarship) OR 1 scholarship left (Either Robinson doesn't return or Reese is a walk-on) OR 2 scholarships left (Robinson doesn't return and Reese is a walk-on)
We really need 1 more forward and 1 more center for good positional rotation/depth, development, and injury precautions. Also, as a team we need more height to hopefully defend inside and rebound better than last year's team. Of course, increased height does not guarantee better rebounding. A player's effort or desire is a critical factor.

Last year's UNCW MBB team was a much mature team (transfers and classifications) and had more larger sized players compared to our present team. Also, UNCW is a non-football school, so they spend more money and focus to quickly develop their MBB program (coaches and players). I mentioned in past posts that the non-football schools dominate the CAA currently when it comes to MBB. In my opinion, we have to come up with a different methodology to be competitive and with such a young team improvements may come by slower.

Smells like he's building a program over time and hoping like hell all the recruits develop and stay for the duration. If that happens then three or four years from now we'll be ok.
Of course that's a fair amount of ifs.

247 lists PWO offers as offers on their site all the time, they really aren’t a good source for determining whether a player is on a scholarship or not. No source outside of the player & coaches at this point.

My bad. I remembered we had 2 walk-ons, but Justin Brooks was the other player who just graduated. This changes things as to available scholarships. Below are my corrections based on Powell being on scholarship.************************ 15 Players On Roster (Includes 1 or 2 walk-ons) 2 Centers 3 Forwards (If Robinson returns) 10 Guards ****************************** Robinson and Reese status on the team are still unconfirmed by anyone on this forum. Reese's commitment announcement is not a confirmation that he is on scholarship. Preferred walk-ons regularly make HS commitment announcements across the country. College coaches encourage this because it is great marketing and business. Robinson and Reese can not both be on scholarship. A&T would have 14 scholarship players, exceeding the NCAA max allotment of 13. 0 Scholarship left: Either Robinson is not returning and Reese is on scholarship, or Robinson is on the team and Reese is a walk-on. OR 1 Scholarship left: Robinson is not returning and Reese is a walk-on. ****************************** If the latter is our case, then we only have 2 centers and 2 forwards on the team. We should offer a scholarship to a player that is capable of playing both forward and center well. I would prefer a transfer over a HS graduate. This year's changes in the transfer rules makes it more difficult for transfer players to transfer a 2nd time and play right away. The high risk of losing talented players that you developed to the transfer portal shifts more to HS players you signed due to the "one-time exception rule".

No source outside of the player & coaches at this point. Powell is rated as the nation's No. 41 shooting guard and the state's No. 16 prospect by 247Sports. But his duties usually include the point guard position and having the ball in his hands most of the time. 247sports.com/Article/2021-guard-Garrison-Powell-holding-Magnolia-State-SEC-offers-Mississippi-State-basketball-recruiting-147700013/At the next level, Powell has collected offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, James Madison, Middle Tennessee State and Florida Gulf Coast among others. And he noted that interest from other schools has picked up lately.

4sure but there system was based on player movement and ball rotation on offense and physical body positioning blocking out and aggressive rebounding on both ends of the floor . 6'9" is really all you need if the players play aggressively within the system and as a unit . Also factor in the weight and physicality of those players .
