I've seen this question in several places, so I thought I'd start a thread that spells it out. If the mods think it belongs in another thread, please feel free to move/delete it. I'm just hoping to have this info in an obvious spot for everyone's reference. Then we can start debating scenarios.

Class of 2009
Sr: Jon, Z, Lance, G?
Jr: Smith, Singler
So: Plumlee, Williams, Czyz
Fr: Kelly, Plumlee, Wall? Bledsoe? [Curry]

So, we have between 10 and 13 scholarships spent. We could make Wall and Bledsoe an either/or proposition, but I think there's something to be said for Wall as an immediate impact guy and Eric as a long-term solution. At the end of the day, I'd be delighted to have either one of these outstanding pass-first PG's.

By position:
Guards: Jon, G?, Nolan, Email, Wall?, Bledsoe? [Curry]
Wings: G?, Kyle, Jon, Nolan, Email, Kelly
Post: Kyle, Plumlee x2, Z, Lance, Czyz


Class of 2010
Sr: Smith, Singler?
Jr: Plumlee, Email, Czyz
So: Kelly, Plumlee, Curry, Bledsoe?
Fr: Dawkins, Hairston, Thornton, Barnes?, Knight?, Irving?

Again, somewhere between 10 and 13 scholarships spent (unless Josh Smith shocks the world) assuming that if we have Bledsoe we'd drop one of Knight/Irving.

By position:
Guards: Smith, Email, Curry, Bledsoe?, Dawkins, Thornton, Knight?, Irving?
Wings: Kyle, Smith, Email, Kelly, Barnes?
Post: Kyle, Plumlee x2, Czyz, Hairston

Thoughts? Did I miss anyone? I know my "positions" are pretty sloppy. Who do folks think could expand their game to take on new roles for the team?
