If MA wants to “fix” the roster, here is the armchair qb suggestion I would give him.
Addition by subtraction: Ibby processed at year end. Open up Garland’s spot (hate it for the kid, but it’s time to move on if he isn’t playing), and tell DG to go get paid (would love a 3rd year but hard to see him stay unless he just wants to go out on a higher note).
Juco Love: Add one Juco Big with Javon Franklin. Franklin will be a RS Soph adding to that large classes size, but in the classroom a Jr (like Harris this year). Then a JR big man will be able to step in and help Chaney Day 1 on the block.
HS/Prep Big Man: Add one of the bigs out of the HS/Prep Ranks to be next in line to get solid minutes in 2020.
2019 Roster:
PG- Hill- RS Frosh
PG- Harris- RS JR
CG- Sills- Soph
CG- Embry-Simpson- Soph
SG- Joe- Soph
Wing- Jones- JR
CF- Franklin- RS Soph
CF- Bailey- SR
F- Chaney- Soph
F- Gabe O- JR
F- Henderson- Soph
F/C- Prep Big- Frosh
F/C- Juco Big- JR
In 2020 be prepared to replace Bailey with Moore, Henderson with Williams, and Embry-Simpson with Thompson. You then pray like heck that Moody wants to come in too, and you replace Gabe with him. I would only keep Gabe at this point over Embry and Henderson to help with the #s by class to help even if all out.
2020 Roster:
PG- Hill- RS Soph
PG- Harris- RS SR
CG- Sills- JR
CG- Thompson- Frosh
SG- Joe- Jr
SG- Moody- Frosh
G/F- Jones- SR
CF- Franklin- RS JR
CF- Moore- Frosh
F- Chaney- JR
F/C- Prep/HS- Soph
F/C- Juco- SR
F/C- Williams- Frosh
Your classes are now more evened out with that large 2018 class being only 4 spots instead of 6-8. Frosh= 4, Soph= 2, Jr= 4, & SR= 3.
