Current Basketball Roster Situation

PrintNow that Brax and Goins have both decided to transfer, the basketball roster is starting to take shape. There are still four distinct possibilities - Greivis Vasquez goes pro and Jerome Burney is physically unable to play (he would get either an academic scholarship, graduate early, or get a medical hardship scholarship), GV returns but no Burney, Burney returns but no GV, and both return. Here's what the roster would look like for each of those situations:
GV, but no Burney (seemingly the most likely right now):
GV and Burney return:
Burney, but no GV:
Both leave:
As you can see, even if both return, we end up with two scholarsips available for use this year, and three for 2010. If both leave, we'd have four total scholarships for use sometime between this year and next, which is a whoppingly huge number when you're talking about schollies. I fully expect Gary to sign at least one more guy this year (maybe an int'l guy who flew under the radar?), simply because he won't go into the season risking having only nine guys on scholarship.
I have no point to prove with this post. I just thought it'd be useful for some reason.

Goodness, 2013 is a long way away
Interesting though.
Good luck on the upcoming finals, however many Terps here are still current Terps and not alumni / fans of the Terps
Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!
UMD 8/04 - 5/08: Go Terps!
Thanks...this kind of stuff actually helps assess where we are
yeah…we need to bring someone else aboard (eh hmmm Painter!) for this year…i’ve been stressing his importance for some time now…imo he is as close to a must get as possible for the terps…if he does not commit after his nc state visit we are in good shape having the last crack at him
i must admit tiim,
You Have indeed been calling it for some time.
But i had a problem pronouncing the word “assess” in my head while reading your subject. lol

Yo Broman,
Do me a favor, give me our starting five with no GV, no Painter and no Burney.
Good Luck

Not bbro but here's how i see it:
Hayes
Bowie
Mosely
Milbourne
JWill
With Tucker and Dino having outside chances to start

Sounds about right
Hayes, Milbourne, probably Bowie, and one of Williams and Padgett are probably guarantees to start day one. Then Dino, Tucker, Mosley, and the loser of Padge and JWill will fight it out for the last spot. If it’s Dino or Padge/JWill, then we’ll probably be returning to a normal offense, so Landon will be headed back to the 3. I personally don’t like this and don’t find it very likely. Tucker or Mosley are more likely to start, and I’d put my money on Mosley. I’m not sure who would emerge as the PG out of Hayes/Bowie, to be honest.
No GV
Without GV we are looking at another up and down season. We would really need Mosley to find his scoring ability that he had while in high school and Williams would have to quickly adapt to ACC competition for us to have a chance against teams like Duke and UNC.
