Roster Rebuild

[FurmanFan23]

That is indeed the lineup fingers crossed if everyone comes back

[FU Hoopla]

We will graduate 5 seniors this year.
A preliminary chart for 'next' offseason might looking someing like:

1: Bronson, Transfer guard

2: House, Humphries

3: Vanderwal, Molnar

4: Johnson, Smith

5: Bowser, Transfer forward

Recruit 2 Freshmen guards

Recruit 1 Freshmen forward

From what I've heard, we've been pretty active in recruiting freshmen for 2025-26

Indeed
Think it will make sense for us to get a good balance and take 2 experienced transfers and 3 freshmen

Short Mason Smith article. Pretty good read!

They do alot of good articles. I subbed to them a while ago

[FUBF24]

It's looking like this could be our depth chart this upcoming year

PG: Sullinger, Humphries
SG: Smith, Anderson, Bronson
SF: VanderWal, House, Molnar
PF: Hughey, Bowser
C: Hien, Johnson

Walk-ons (?): Tillman, Burr
Possible Redshirt: Mason Smith

Did I miss anyone?

Overall, this is a DEEP team if everyone plays to their potential. I think we can contest for 20 wins this year. Go Dins!

Yep some decent depth but I think we felt that way going into last season. CBR is so high on Bronson that I’m sure he’s going to get a ton of minutes whether he starts or not. I’d have him at PG and Humphries at SG.

Switch Humphries and Bronson (Humphries will never be a PG, Bronson and Smith will take backup PG minutes when Sullinger is not on court)
Switch Hien and Bowser (Hien will probably start at PF with Bowser battling Johnson for starting Center)

FU uses an offense of 3 guards 2 forwards, no centers. 1,2,3,4,5.

Lol, why do you insist on saying this every time, we all know what FU uses so it's really not necessary, when I say center (5 man) we all know what I am talking about...
Besides I am pretty sure our 2 players that are 6'11 come pretty damn close to 'center' by SoCon standards

New walk-on addition (CLYDE MAULDIN):

Oh to have our man JP…. the fun of mid-major basketball was you didn’t deal with transfers and one and done and you watched guys develop. …. Now I hardly know these names, it’s one year free agency even at Furman

Like AA or AAA baseball. If a guy gets good he’s gone. You almost want a strong but not great player. JP was too good.

I expect FCS football to flatten out some too

[Sad Din]

JP who? Thats history..

Now we got PJ, Jalen and ohers. Once they start winning will quickly love em.

Think of it as a large graduating class. Remember when we lost seniors from previuos years? Next man up!

SD is very excited about this team!

Looking forward to seeing the Bowser/Johnston/Hien attack.

[furpop16]

I'll settle for the Hien free-throw.

[apaladin]

I'll settle for the Hien free-throw.

Hien dropped from 53% the previous year to 35% last year. He is an under .500 free throw shooter(46%) for his career. If he doesn’t dramatically improve his free throw shooting I don’t see how you can have him on the floor down the stretch in tight games.
