Really need to know Work Ethic and whether the Highs are High High or Low High to really evaluate....

But on first glimpse, Runyon is a stud but probably has to play SF because of his low-ish speed right now and the fact that his bh and passing aren't really good enough to play guard.

Therrien could have some use a minor  scoring threat off the bench at SG but can't play PG because of his low passing

Hill might be good to try and redshirt depending on his work ethic.  He can't play with 16 defense...but he has some potential at SG or maybe even SF

Hoke sucks, I'd cut him the first chance you get.    He can't play any position really.

Hagerty is a pretty good D3 post player too.  Wish his ath could get up a little higher, but he'll be a good rebounder and hopefully if he has a decent WE can get his defense rating up to an acceptable level.  But even before that happens he'll grab rebounds and block a few shots.  He'll never be great offensively and will turn the ball over if his distro is too high but if you find the right balance for him I think he'll be alright.

One question  - how the heck did Watson gain 5 stamina points in 3 practices? You been feeding him Adderall?

Therrian could be good off the bench in spots. Runyon will be very good.

I do not like this class at all to be perfectly honest with you.  With 5 openings if you bring in 5 freshmen you want at least 4 who will be quality starters by their junior year.  A team with 5 seniors should be a threat to make a deep tournament run at least.  This team will not be unless the talent you bring behind these guys is carrying the team.  Runyon is a stud.  He doesn't even have the passing I like in an SF, but he'll probably be your leading scorer by a wide margin, so that's not a big deal.  He will be a really dominant player, one of the best defenders in D3 and a really solid scorer and rebounder as well.  He will turn it over quite a bit with his BH/P combo, but you live with that.  Hagerty is a fine post player.  Not very athletic, but he'll rebound and play defense and even score 8 or 10 PPG.  If he were the 4th-best guy you brought in he'd be a nice recruit, but as the 2nd-best he's really pretty disappointing.  Therrien and Hill are at best passable.  If Therrien had much better passing and Hill had much better BH they'd be of similar quality to Hagerty, but as it is neither one can play guard without being a turnover machine.  Therrien will score some as maybe a 2, but he'll be a defensive liability.  Hill really doesn't have a position.  He's not athletic enough to play SF and can't handle the ball well enough to play guard.  He's also a sub-par defender.  And Hoke?  Well as has already been stated, he's pretty bad indeed.  He's got some skills, but not nearly enough to cover for his really bad athleticism.  Slow unathletic players like that are hard to utilize, and he really shouldn't see many minutes even as a senior.

thx guys for all the comments on my recruting class i know i can do better and if any of you guys have any tips on how to recruit better please tell me because im just starting and want to get better at recruting

How much did you spend on Runyon?  And one quick tip is that it's better to take a walk-on and try again next season than to take a player of Hoke's caliber 95% of the time.  Although I don't know if that's an error in recruiting or player evaluation.
