A developmental big OR any sized player who is a pure shooter--and they don't necessarily have to be overly athletic (good for specific situations).

Re: Moreno a Colonel!!!!
I'm with you colonelblitz. Right now Eastern only has 4 forwards counting Moreno, and he's listed as a wing guy. They're deep at guard, though shooting may be questionable. Even if Coach Hamilton wants to play a 4-guard scheme most of the time, he'll need to go big at times. Plus, Anderson will be a senior next season. Under CJN, Eastern's one negative was rebounding/lack of size. This was probably the main factor keeping Eastern from going to the next level. Maybe one more forward 6-8+, that can contribute immediately.colonelblitz wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 4:59 pmHicks is a 3 But one can always use a 7’ footer.. Or a 6’10” shot blocker..

I have no idea what AW is planning but it looks like it could be he wants a 4 guard offense with Darius Hicks as the 5th player. I assume Tre King and Lachlan Anderson will be the backup players for Darius Hicks. But – I could be wrong.

Maybe, although it helped us the Joel Embid was hurt and didn't play for Kansas.colonelblitz wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 4:59 pmHicks is a 3 But one can always use a 7’ footer..

Re: Moreno a Colonel!!!!
I totally agree. There was some improvement in rebounding last year, but there needs to be dominance on the boards. Especially the way we shoot. There is no telling how many close games could have been wins this last year if we could clean up just a few more missed shots.bill54 wrote:I'm with you colonelblitz.

It looks like the last scholarship may be a JUCO SG;
5/9/2019 - SG Jayden Scrubb (6-7, -, 2★) from Louisville, KY, who went to ASPIRE Academy, has received an offer from Eastern Kentucky.

His Junior College is John Logan College and he is now -Height 6-6 Weight 220.

Re: Moreno a Colonel!!!!
Looks like Coach Hamilton is going for another tall wing player. This guy would be a great addition. Looks like a good rebounder, as well as a good shooter.

Re: Moreno a Colonel!!!!
For what it's worth, Louisville currently has no scholarships to give. They might end up having one if Jordan Nwora stays in the draft, but they're at 13 for the moment.Rosie wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 10:44 amLouisville looking at him, too. May be a stretch for us...but so were Lewis and Moreno. Go Colonels!
