Our recruiting pattern

I grant that Verbal Commits may not list all our offers to recruits. However, let us suppose that they are as accurate as any other source.

Next year we have to replace Shoshi (4/5), presumably Corbyn Jackson's scholarship (4), Jalen Jackson (3/4), Hill (3/4), Stetson(3), Osse (2) and Johnson (1/2). According to VC, at the moment we have 11 offers out for next year's class, and one verbal commitment. By their positioning, that amounts to two point guards, five SGs, and four SFs. Zero 4s or 5s. Since four of the seven departing players should play all or part of their time at those slots, it concerns me somewhat that we have not offered anyone at all in those positions. Three of the offerees are 6-8 or 6-6, which could be PF size by Belt standards, but evidently that is not their best or natural position.
