Isaiah Briscoe and Caleb Swanigan are the two mystery 5* per PM this morning, Briscoe is a PG, Swanigan is a C. I wish we'd have saved Puryear's scholarship to use on another high ranked player, but I get CKA thought he needed an instate kid this year. Rumor on PM is the staff liked OG Anunoby a lot, but he is more of a 3 and we're pretty full there, hence the no offer. He is Indiana bound from what I've read. Funny thing is, Puryear told PM he plans on playing the 3 at Mizzou too, but if you watch his highlights, he's definitely a 4, just happens to be the size of a 3. Hopefully he's a good glue guy, I've just never been high on him since Haith first took a look, hopefully I'm wrong.

Saw that too about playing the 3. Just don't see that either. Seems like a good kid. Just having a hard time foreseeing what roles a lot of these kids will fill. Some of these guys can slide around, but I'd guess they're best suited at:

1 - Shamburger/Clark/Isabel
2 - Bello/Wright
3 - Biedscheid/Teki
4 - JW3/Gant/Allen
5 - Post/Rosburg

Then the next season:

1 - Clark/Isabel
2 - Bello/Wright
3 - Biedscheid/Teki
4 - JW3/Gant/Allen/Puryear
5 - Rosburg

I can see the definite need to get a big guy. Can also need for a point/combo guard like Briscoe.
