In terms of the recruiting period, it's starting to get quite late to get a HS player to join the ranks for the 2010-11 season, so just offering the scholarship to Ryan seems the best fit. We need a guard who can spell Crawford and play very solid defense, and I wouldn't be surprised if he took Nash's spot at the top of the 1-3-1 or be the helper for Marcotullio in the trap.<br /><br />Rowley fell on some hard times this year. Having a major injury before the beginning of the season severely hampers your development, and he just never seemed to recover. Although he's foul-prone, a lot of his commits were along the perimeter. I wager he'll do a lot better at a program where he can just play inside and that's it.<br /><br />As for the remaining lot, I still have reservations about Curletti, because he still gives up a lot of size to the other centers in the conference (even Mirkovic, for that matter). He needs to bulk up and become one of those guys who can get inside and make the 8-10 foot turnaround jumpers.Sasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250321109123003782noreply@blogger.com
