Ah, it's been a while since I've had a nice redshirt player who I knew was redshirting before they started their freshman year with me. As a redshirt PG, I really love the potential of Brian Hill. He could become a very good starting (pass-first) PG for me, or could become a decent career-long backup, depending on exactly where his "high" potential areas actually top off. Regardless, he should be an expert in our system for at least two years, and probaby three, and should be an important contributor. The NBA is not completely out of the question, but it is very improbable.

Bobby Jaco will be a SG for me, and a damn good one. He's on the verge of starting - definitely challenging Harrison Parsons for the role right off the bat. It doesn't hurt that he already knows the system. I was lucky to get him without a challenge, because he's a great player - though his defense will not be outstanding, in terms of our recent history, but solid enough. Better than the great Richard Whittaker, an SG who played the PG slot, and one of my favorite recruits of all time.

#1 SF, #4 overall, *****; promised the start, promised 15 minutes. Oh man...I never get top tier SFs. This is an enormous signing. I wrestled Nolan Lyons away from Syracuse. I expected a battle against them for him and I got one. I couldn't be more thrilled. He is fantastic. A surefire pro. I hope he's around for his junior season. A senior year is probably a pipe dream.

Transfer therefore unranked, but he certainly would be a five-star guy. promised 10 minutes.Based on my scouting of him, Forbush has low potential in rebounding, low post, and shot blocking. I don't think I got word on his FT potential, but I doubt it's good. He's got average potential basically everywhere else.

Anyways, Roger Forbush is a nice player, though his stats from his freshman year are awful. He's adept at the Press but unfamiliar with the Flex, so won't have a high distribution at all but will be able to see the court as our backup SG. Eventually I'm sure he'll be the starter, and he should do a good job after he's been in our program for a little while. I wish he rebounded better, and I'm going to pine mildly for Edmiston, but that's okay.
