I think they’re betting between the rising star Lipsey, and Williams, who would’ve been the starting PG this year, we will have enough.

With recruiting, whether you are Duke or Iowa State, it's a numbers game. A coach doesn't know if they have Monte Morris or Chris Colvin until you have them on campus.
IMO a coach is building a roster where they recruit the best players AND position #'s that make sense. Hopefully, they are right 50% of the time and find a Morris, Niang, Halliburton, etc.
Scholarship mix something like:
2 PG's: Lipsey/Morris/NWB type floor general
1 CG: Dynamic perimeter scorer who can play PG in a pinch- aka Stinson, Kane
4 2G: Mix of guys who can score off dribble or spot up 3 - aka Mitrou-Long, Thomas, Brockington, Horton-Tucker
1 SF: taller wing who can defend opposing jump shooters. aka Clyburn, Nader, Chris Babb
3 PF: aka Niang, Tre King, Ejim, Brackins
2 Posts: Banger/Bounder aka Robert Jones, Homan and/or Rim Protector aka McKay, Osunniyi
So looking at core TJ is building based on HS recruiting:
PG: Lipsey
CG:
2G: Eli King, Hamilton, Indrusaitus
SF: Biliew
PF: Momcilovic, Watson (SF/PF), Fish

Williams was brought into be our starting PG. He'll likely play mostly the two though due to Lipsey's development.
Hard to convince a transfer pg to come in next year, knowing Tamin will be playing 30 mpg, barring injury. A scoring guard, like Holmes, who can handle backup pg duties, would seem a more likely target.
I would think Williams would start at off-guard and be able to fill in for Lipsey at PG. And if I recall correctly, Eli King played PG when he played in early Nov.
Our transfer targets will depend a lot on who comes back among Grill, Ward, Jones and Tre King. I hope they are all back, but who knows in the portal/grad transfer era.
Our biggest need is scoring guard who can score off dribble or make 3's.
Are we in on Cash Chavis at all. Saw some highlights of his online and he looked pretty good

Asuma is the priority
Don’t think we are in on anyone else until Rock or Asuma tell us no. If those two say yes, we are onto 2025.
Good thing transfers exist! There’s a reason why we haven’t heard of any other 2024 recruits besides the main 4.
Any inside info or just a hunch? Seems like he isn’t saying much on his recruitment
Playing for a 1A high school I’m sure limits his exposure when it comes to recruiting rankings. It’s still early in the process for 2024s though. Asuma should finish a top 100 player.
I've been wondering about this - is Milan really more of a PF than Omaha? I was thinking Milan was a '3' and Omaha was a '4' (although both are clearly "wings")
Also interesting analysis in that Asuna would fill in the blank at "CG" and Rock would fill in the "Post", right?
We stopped recruiting him a while ago. Others did too. He was between Wisconsin and Virginia last I knew.
Asuma is the #1 priority.
