1970, not sure I understand your post. And I don't even understand how many openings we have for next year. At least I do know that we have four commits, but that's really all I do know. Like everyone who reads this Board, I recently learned that we'll be back to a 13 scholarship limit, next season. And I'm not even sure about that.

Like, sharkey posted and like you indicated, I'm hoping for an experienced PG, but if not, an offseason and RP development, might make him ready.

Is this the way '22 recruiting will finalize? Going on the assumption that next season we will only be allowed 13 scholarships. As of now we have 14 players on scholarship, and will lose Joiner, Jolly, DVE, Cashaw and Brown. A total of five which brings us to nine. Since we have four commits, recruiting might be finished, unless one of the following things happen: 1. BJL leaves. 2. Someone else leaves. 3. Howells spends another year in Prep school and joins the '23 class. 4. With one or two of the above happening, we will be able to bring in an experienced PG or two.
Anyone have an opinion about this?

Since you said keep duach, is there anyone else you would like to see leave to get an experienced pg if we sign a frosh pg

According to what I see we will have 5 scholarships available next year.
Here are the 8 returning: Meyers Duach Nelly Wildy James Clayton Slazinski Shema
Unless I'm missing someone that leaves 5 new recruits so with 4 committed we have one left for the experienced PG.

One open scholarship, not counting BJL. Jordan Pope is a bit of a mystery. Have not seen one link that Iona has offered.
To be honest the '22 recruiting cycle is kind of strange. I'm surprised Pitino has already taken 4 freshmen, leaving only 1 scholarship open, after hitting 3 home runs in the transfer portal last year. Don't think Pitino will run anyone off, remains to be seen if a kid decides to leave for more PT. The class is solid, but being perfectly honest, if Iona makes the NCAA tournament I believe the staff will be missing out on some really talented recruits. Will be a interesting to see how it all plays out

There is always a player or two who transfers that you are not expecting.

It looks like everyone is returning although you never know. Pitino gave a vote of confidence to both Wildy and Duach and said he felt they were both going to be good players.

This is a little weird since Pitino has been vocal about getting a more mature player.

Howells remains the mystery and the scholarship that could have given us two from the portal

I don't believe RP feels he does enough offensively to merit the last scholarship. Again just my opinion. I happen to love BJL's game but he is a luxury we might not be able to afford next year. Limited offense and limited time played because of foul troubles. I would think RP would use that last spot for a proven and impact player.

There's always surprises both ways coming and going. Whether it's the player or pitino a couple of these bench guys won't be back IMO.
