There's nothing wrong with getting depth players from the JUCO/Grad ranks. There's also nothing wrong with taking on project players, who might have excellent athleticism or motor or whatever, and hope some other skills develop.
The problem arises when the amount of players that fall into those categories rises from the bottom 4/5 on our bench, to half the team. We aren't quite there yet, but we inch closer everyday.
I agree with this, but at the same time we have some excellent talent in the backcourt that ought to be here for awhile. What's important is that we give them a complete, balanced roster to play with, and a JUCO big man and/or a transfer would make that a reality on the timeline we need.
Be upset about missing on some of the big recruits we went after, not the staff reacting to go after next-best options at a position of need. This is what they should be doing. Get the guys that will allow Tevian and Kipper to play in their natural positions and give the roster the length it needs to play BU's system. Trent and Ayo have the star thing covered.
