Projected Roster

Adapted from this post.  Updated 1/13/09 for Dion Sim’s verbal commitment (for football, technically).

Notes/observations:

  • I’ve broken the players out into three categories. The 2 and 3 spots (wings) tend to be interchangeable in Izzo’s system, as do the 4 and 5 spots (bigs).
  • Players not using up a basketball scholarship are in gray.
  • This assumes no one goes pro early. Morgan, Lucas, and Roe (not necessarily in that order) would be the most likely candidates to do so.
  • Izzo could technically add two more players to the 2009 class. If he fills both spots, though, that would leave no spots for 2010.  More likely, he’ll use one in 2009 (fingers crossed for Jamil Wilson) and save the other for 2010–or bank both for 2010.
