2024 Portal Season

[CptnQuirk]

So far, 6 out of our 8 scholarships are distributed to guard/wing players (Thompson, Keller, Dow, Johnson, Dean, Davis) and 2 to forward/posts (Jennings & Avery). What is the typical distribution of scholarships for these positions?

We still have several available for whatever position HCSL wants.

I understand he can use the remaining 5 scholarships however he wants; I am just curious how other posters think that will break down positionally.

It depends really. Is he trying to play positionless basketball? It's a tough answer really.

I would expect 4-5 out of the 13 players to be PF/C types. They have to have someone to practice against.

How many power forwards have we had in the past six years?

Thanks for that info. HCSL has said he'll play a motion offense. Hasn't he implied it'll be sort of positionless? That's what the Thunder say of their offense. Our tallest guys are two new guys at 6'7" and two holdovers at 6'6". So do we need at least two guys taller than that? Three? More?

I'm not sure what he plans to do, but you still have to defend the Post position even if your offense plays positionless.

Yes, 6-9 or 6-10, or if shorter, some bulk, a la Marshall Moses. I've seen his height listed on different sites as 6-6 (which is probably right), 6-7 and 6-8, weight from 230 to 255 (closer to right).
