This is actually a pretty good class so far. Not flashy but fits the Martin mold. Fills some holes with talent.

I gotta admit I'm surprised Moss didn't end up at Memphis after playing for Hardaway. I remember when Hardaway was still in HS at Memphis Treadwell (Elliot Perry was there right around the same time) and Memphis used to be famous for keeping all of their in-town talent at home.

Hardaway, if I remember correctly, was part of that Orlando Magic rookie team that had Shaq around '96. He's a god in Memphis and I suspect he'll shut down recruiting in Memphis again in short order ... a real hotbed for basketball talent. This might get us in the door in the future somehow as well.

So will Martin find another big man or is he after another guard in this class?

I think we should be fine as far as big men go....we lost 7-footer Gueye but still have 7-footer Cudd for 3 more years and 6-10 Kotsar for 2 more, and we added a 6-8 big to make up for losing Gueye I guess, and Haase is around 6-8, 6-9 himself.

We'll lose Silva after next season, but we're solid with 6-11 2019 center Brandon Stone, so who knows how that goes.

I feel we could use more depth at guard - minus Felder last season we struggled to find another ball handler, and really besides Rak there's no other "true" PG on the roster. Hopefully the staff finds another one of those, and call it a day....
