I'm not asking for 13 all conference kids, but I think a person who could at least compete for playing time with a (previously) open spot to give is not asking for that. Like I've said before, a kid with a 10% chance of contributing this year (or a future year) is better than an automatic 0% and hamstringing your depth in an important year. As set in stone as we think we are, the only for sure things we should have right now are Deen and Hannah (and probably Zek) as starters. Dillon, Thomas, Atlason, Burch, Davis, etc. should be trying to earn minutes and prove themselves right now with various levels of at least already being in the rotation. Speaking of promises, did we promise Zek, Dillon, Thomas starting spots or just a chance to compete for them? I'd have to think the latter with Brian's style. We still landed them. Johnson had to know he'd be at best backing up Duke this year and have to grow into a role, we still landed him.
I guess I just find it hard to believe with everyone available there is not one good culture kid who can play, at least a little, interested in Bradley and possibly competing for a playing time spot. I'm sure they did try to recruit other talented kids too, but why give up already?
