Delph is far from being safe from the chopping block. The staff is not happy with his lack of initiative and intensity after not playing last year.
With Griciunas gone he and Atewe are the only 5's on the roster. I'd be surprised to see him sent packing at this point. Also fwiw M Murphy from Scout has been watching them practice and he says Delph is already a better offensive player than ADT. His struggles are on the other end of the floor with everything except shot blocking.

All things I can live with

He isn't in basketball shape and ADT wasn't exactly a scorer so it's not that hard to see both being right.

When will everyone from the class be on campus?
Posted on 6/24/14 at 10:00 am to autodd03
Mason, Lang and Purchase are already on campus. Last I heard Bowers and Ross-Miller should arrive this week. Logwood still hasnt been cleared and I havent heard anything on Canty. 247 has a new update on the signees but Im not a member.

I'm still learning this shootyhoops game
So I know we got like one of the nation's leading scorers transferring to us or some shite
Do we have any chance of competing next year/making the tourny?

*We added the nations 2nd leading scorer (Antoine Mason) who is 6'4ish and the son of Formar NBA player Derrik Mason. He will make an immediate impact with his ability to score.
*KC Ross-Miller 6'1 PG Highly tauted player in high school has bounced around at different schools since...Only has 1 year to play so Pearl will probably use him early and often. He can handle the ball and looks to get others involved first.
*We added Kareem Canty a 6'1 PG who started last year for Marshall in a league arguablly just as hard if not harder than the SEC. He averaged 15ppg and 5assists. He's no pure shooter but he can give defensive fits with his ability to score and distribute. (Must sit this year)
*Added Cinmeon Bowers 4* #1 JUCO Player. 6'7 265 bruiser. He's good for a double double on any given night.
The true freshman will be:
TJ Lang - 6'6 Shooting Guard in-state kid that can stroke it. Probably won't be much of a defender or slasher but could come off the bench go 4-6 from 3pt land.
Jackie Purchase - 6'10 200lb PF From Austrailia. Don't let the PF fool you. He's not going to do much damage in the paint. He has a great shot a really quick release he's athletic enough to run the floor and trail on breaks and can also move the ball around really well. His best attribute may be his passing ability. Plays with a ton of confidense. He needs to sit for a while maybe redshirt. The American game is very different than what he is used to. Much more physical game over here.
Sam Longwood -6'7 210 G/F Great Athlete, Great Frame. He could be used as a 3 guard and present some matchup problems for smaller guards. Longwood is really strong in the paint and has really good moves when he gets the ball down low. Also really good at attacking. He'll be looking to drive a lot and get to the rim. I would use him as a 4. Keep him in the paint where he is best. this would be the best move to capitalize on his strenghts (rebounding / post moves)
We also return KT Harrell and Tahj Dean. Our weakness will be depth and size (down low). Our strengths will be scoring from the guard position. Interested to see what Pearl does with tthe lineup as far as offensive sets go. As far as the schedule goes we play in one of the worst conferences with one of the best coaches in the Nation. We'll be a NIT team and hopefully maybe an NCAA bubble team.

whether we make a post season tourney this year hinges on how everyone meshes together... tons of new faces and new roles... plus a total overhaul in systems/responsibilites.
i just don't see us being a NCAA bubble team next year... with no size and no depth, we're going to wear down in conference play.

But don't forget we play in a shite conference right now. UK will be young again. UF lost a lot Ole Miss lost a lot UT lost a lot we typically play Bama well ect...

Bama will be a lot better than the last two years or so. UF and UK will still be amazing. Looks like we could be an NIT bubble team though

Releford was a one man team for Bama last year..I don't see them getting "much better" any time soon under Grant

Bowers is officially enrolled and there is a slight chance that Ross-Miller could still get in this semester. Logwood still hasn't been cleared by the NCAA.
Not recruiting related but Alex Thompson is killing it in summer practices. MM of ITAT said he is easily the most improved player from last year to this year. He hit 3 straight 3's at the end of a scrimmage yesterday to give his team the win.

I agree. He isn't going to start over Bowers but if he can push him a bit for that spot and provide a spark off the bench it makes us a much better team. Also wouldn't be surprised to see him play along side Bowers at times to really stretch the defense and open up driving lanes.
