I'd assume we'll find out if they walk for Senior Night. Other than that its probably sometime during the offseasonDavemeister wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:28 am
Is there a deadline for them to decide if they are returning?
INSIDE FURMAN BASKETBALL TO PREMIER MONDAY
So for next year, we have just one spot available for a scholarship assuming Foster and Hien return? This would be the spot that Repass vacated last summer.
Correct.
This year has always been about finding the right rotation and developing the young talent for what could be a special ‘24-‘25
Whatever we accomplish this year is gravy.

Bronson and Humphries will be new additions eligible for next year. If we decide to fill the last scholarship spot I assume it will be for another high school player willing to redshirt next year. I suppose we could sign a high level transfer if one was available.
I’d love to see an impact power forward transfer fill that available scholly. We need a boost to the inside game and that would certainly help on the boards.
Having said what I did above, I’d bet we lose 1 or 2 to the portal or graduation in the offseason. I have no inside info, just playing the odds….could Whitt or Molnar go somewhere in search of more min? Does Alex W really fit in to our system? Could Hein go ahead and graduate? Will (please no) JP or Marcus get wooed away by a bigger P5 program?
Paul C,
I think those are all potential scenarios. However I get the sense that we haven’t done much recruiting of the current senior HS class. I certainly could see a scenario where Hien or Foster elect to not return - perhaps semi pro ball or job opportunities. Alex W is a big ? mark. Earlier in the year CBR mentioned how hard he had really worked and noted previous family pressure to transfer. I know CBR really likes AW. Would hate to lose Whitt.

That really won’t mean anything, still could come back like many fb players have done.KingPaladin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:47 pmI'd assume we'll find out if they walk for Senior Night. Other than that its probably sometime during the offseasonDavemeister wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:28 am

True but they will probably have to wait another year IF everyone comes back as no minutes would be available. A transfer would definitely be the way to go to fill the last spot.tya1 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:10 pmBronson and Humphries will be new additions eligible for next year.

Interesting rationale. So 0 minutes to go around so bring in a transfer rather than sticking to the formula of bringing in a HS senior and allowing him to RS and develop/learn the concepts. Also shows a ton of faith in the guys who redshirted this year to bring in yet another body. No thanks.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:55 pmTrue but they will probably have to wait another year IF everyone comes back as no minutes would be available.

Not the same. Both freshmen are guards, we will need guards in 2025 not next year if everyone comes back. A transfer could shore up the frontline for a year. With that said if everyone comes back next year just sign a hs’er or just hold it for the following year. We lose a bunch after next year so plenty of minutes will be available.PaladinPower wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 3:37 amInteresting rationale.

In the Furman system, it is good when players move on to make room for those wanting to stay and play. I look forward to the day the extra covid year ends.
