For all of you insiders:
Let's say Groce and Co. land Frazier and Goodwin. (What a class that would be!!!)
I know another big would be a priority, but wouldn't a bouncy long wing who can shoot the 3 who is also a coaches son like Terrence Lewis be a nice addition to the class?
I would love to add a quality big like Kiir, Culver, or John but I don't feel confident in landing any of them.
Finally, is there any concern that Goodwin will "McBride"? by that I mean be a really good h.s. player (b/c of being already physically developed), but just an average BIG player?
I think there's some concern that Goodwin will remain a below average shooter and struggle to finish inside against B1G competition. However, there's no concern that he'll be an average overall player, IMO. Worst case is that he'll be a third option on offense who doesn't score efficiently, but still a ferocious defender and rebounder who plays with a high BBIQ and relentless energy. I think his floor is a 3-year starter, borderline all-conference guy. Ceiling is somewhere between Roosevelt Jones and a poor man's Marcus Smart.
I think a big has to be the priority if we lock up Goodwin and Frazier. We don't appear to lead for any of John, Uyaelunmo, Kiir, or Culver, so there's a good chance we either go the 5th year route or take Lewis or Smith (guys who might be able to play the 4 in small ball lineups).
