Recruit Commentary (D3) Topic

Here is my recruiting class in Phelan. If anyone can put in some constructive comments, it would be greatly appreciated since I'm still learning the game. I really wanted to take 2 PF/C but my pulled down D2 C got poached 1 cycle after I pulled him down and was unable to bring him back. I got a dropdown big to consider me after a promised start but I decided against signing him, since C Francis Yates also got a promised start and it would be hard to fit in both. Instead I took my backup SG/SF Gronosky.

Anyways, here are the players and comments would be appreciated. Team runs Triange/M2M. One of the SG/SF will be RSed since he won't ever make it onto the court.

Baker looks pretty good.  It would be nice if he had more BH, but he's gonna be a very good defender in D3 and a solid scorer, especially once that low post comes up.  The low BH might limit the distro you can give him without him giving up too many turnovers just a little bit, but I don't think it's a huge deal.  Howell is a pretty weak rebounder for a SF but otherwise very talented across the board.  With that perimeter it would be nice if he were a little faster, but he's certainly fast enough.  Gronosky is so-so, gonna turn the ball over some and not a great defender.  Yates is alright, I'd prefer if he had better shot blocking but he'll be solid.
