We also began recruiting Larry Drew in 08 who is a point guard, but we got in the game late. I think the staff is comfortable enough with Nolan Smith at PG to wait until 09. We also might try to add another big besides Monroe (Drew Gordon) but I'm not sure there will be the immediate playing time necessary to be attractive to the 08 kids.
Looking at my projected 08-09 team again:
Sr Paulus, So Smith
Jr Scheyer, Sr Pocius
Jr Henderson, Sr McClure
So Singler, Jr Thomas, So King
(Fr Monroe), Jr Zoubek, (Fr '08 second big)
As you can see, the second big would have difficulty getting immediate playing time.
