Looks like a nice pickup. Ranked #17 JUCO prospect overall by Jucorecruting.com. As of now he takes up the only scholarship available that was opened by Richards entering the portal. I would think regardless of what happens with Brown another big is needed to fill Richard’s role. Would say that means some more roster movement is in store. Could see a situation where Sigona moves from scholarship to walk on but that is just speculation on my part.

Actually there is another scholarship available now if you assume Jordan does not return.
Jordan Brown is one of four seniors from this past season. Add Richards and 5 scholarships become available. We signed two in early signing period and have now signed two in spring recruiting. 5 minus 4 equals one. That one scholarship will go to an experienced inside player from either the portal or JUCO ball. I have no idea who that may be. We WILL sign an inside player. How good he will be is a completely different question that none of us know the answer too now. If Jordan returns, then we face a situation where someone will have to pay their own way or move on. I suspect we will have a decision by Jordan on his future plans by the end of the month.

Marlin was at the baseball game Friday night at least before the game started. He had three or four young men with him.

Butler was likely in that group. They often bring recruits to on campus activities during their official visits. Their usually have a player host the recruit as well so one of the people in the group you saw was likely a current player. Our assistant coaches are also pretty young and someone in that role may have been part of the group.

I think we are trying to say the same thing in different ways. I was looking at it as the three seniors (Williams, Dalcourt, and Lewis) plus 1 transfer (Richards) balances out to the 4 signees (Fields,Nannucci,Hardy, and Butler) I was considering Brown's scholarship his until he says he isn't returning. If he does return I still think we need another big, and if he doesn't obviously that means we need 2. That is why i was saying i would still expect more roster movement regardless of his decision.

I believe Jordan is good enough to be drafted in the second round. Therefore, I am assuming he does not return when I make my assumptions.

JB is good enough to get drafted in 2nd round but I have not seen his name on any draft lists.

Huh? I'd wager on that. You have the national player of the year picked in the second round in mock drafts along with guys like Jacquez from UCLA and Isaiah Wong from Miami. I don't think its even close.
