Even though Mitchell has size, his game will play a lot differently than Morez....more of a perimeter type player (probably split the 2-3 positions) can handle the ball, shoot the outside shot and get others involved in the offense...could maybe play the 4 spot for short stretches, but just don't see him as an imposing presence in the paint....agree with the Fletch plan, add muscle get stronger....every day guy....will look good in the O & B

seems like things will take a bit of a stepback from '24 to '25 in terms of HS recruiting. still, we got the portal and will look to have many pieces returning so hope the success will continue to be stout.

Honestly, if you're expecting to return a lot more guys for next year it would make sense to potentially save your money for impact adds in the transfer portal to fill your holes and build a very old and experienced roster.

For example, let's say both Kasparis and Riley go pro(not necessarily guaranteed but would be a good sign) and Humrichous will be out of eligibility. You could be looking at returning contributors of Boswell(sr), DGL(jr), Ty(sr), Tre White(sr), Davis(jr), Ivisic(old soph), Morez(soph), and Booth(jr).

If you get another year of Kasparis or Riley even better but that returning roster above could be competitive on their own and is better off adding one or two impact veteran transfer and lower ranked freshman that are willing to sit rather than getting highly ranked(expensive) freshman that want a role.
