For those with a better grasp of the situation. Without the benefit of knowing about defections how many spots do we have open? Barnes seems to be held pretty high in regards to pulling talent. What can he get between now and next fall that can matter early? I ll hang up and listen.
First thing to watch is whether he makes a run at Tyler Harris and/or Damion Lee as senior transfers. Eric Davis and Kobe Eubanks would be the two high school players I would keep an eye on on the next couple of weeks. The bigger targets are Ado and Blackwell in the Class of '16.
Ive heard Owens named mention as a possible defector. Im curious to see who ( if any) leave or get pushed if he has upgrade options. Basketball rosters are much easier to flip than football and be competitive.
If Barnes hits the ground running with a solid transfer and some high caliber commitments, I'll be really impressed. I had assumed next year was going to be worse than this one.
