ICYMI, Space is in the portal, so that's five open roster spots.
A lot of work to do.
One guy I can just sense coming here is Nico Galette from Sacred
Heart. It's conceivable he could creep into the A-10 level
conversation, but we are exceedingly young and need an
experienced scorer, so it feels like a good fit for him and us.

Sounds good. Like the guys he played with in Prep School
league. Might be a Brian Dougher type.

Interesting signing with Ben Wight. Weird year for him this
winter/spring. He had started every game for two years (and
contributed in a third) with William & Mary and put up solid
numbers. Then he goes to Toledo and almost vanishes. Nine
minutes? Less than two points a night? Very strange. I expect
we'll see him be a nice contributor here.
Depth chart updated on initial post.

Looks great to me. Snoddy and him as our frontcourt day one?

Woodard reminds me a bit of Anthony Roberts. Can score at all
three levels and really can create his own shot. Feel like he
starts at the 3. I like the Wight signing too. I know you have
him listed as a forward, Check, but doesn't his numbers look
more like a traditional 5? Feels like Snoddy gets most of the
minutes at the 4.

Fair point. Without looking at anything, I had thought Wight was
more of a traditional 5, but I deferred to what he's listed as
on the athletic sites, which is forward. Granted, so few guys
are listed as centers anymore. However, I think, in our league,
he can easily be a 5, at the very least in spells. I see him as
a more offensive version of Mike Rowley from those good Albany
teams. I'd take that.
Wight's dropoff in production at W&M is curious. It's not the
Big Ten; it's the MAC (albeit a good MAC team). I'd love to know
what happened there. He started the season with minutes in the
high teens, but was almost non-existent down the stretch.
Re: Woodard, maybe a more athletic Yeboah? Or maybe we're
getting ahead of ourselves! Akwasi was really really good for
us.

Seems like some players coming in who can contribute, which is
good to see. Obviously a lot of experience and points left the
team.
The player I still don't see on the work-in-progress roster: Who
will successfully bring up the ball against a physical FC press?
It was a comfort to have AC handle that chore last season.
