With Easley (sit) and Ilhen (play) likely the guard spot needs help. Max Hazzard may be an option if he doesn’t pick AZ. Thankfully they are a mess right now.
Leaves possibly 2 spots open.
Not as worried about the bigs as some are here. Its not the traditional game anymore and need someone down low but mostly have to guard the perimeter.
right now this is what i see on the roster
bane
mayen
samuel
nembhard
davis
barlow
fuller
farabello
smith
pearson
kennedy
totals 11 if bane returns for his senior season. aside from his ability to score bane is the only upperclassman on that list. 1 senior, 6 sophomores, and 4 freshmen.
that leaves 2 slots so if easley and ihnen come to tcu that completes the roster unless bane doesn't return or someone else leaves
in regards to the need for bigs quite frankly this is a similar discussion in my mind to when we first saw the spreads and hunh came to football. in the end line play is still a huge factor.
i agree offense has changed, but you still have to rebound, keep your opponent off the offensive glass and play interior defense. not an accident the team that won the national title was strong in all those areas despite not having a traditional low post scorer
