But why? What if your 1st rounder tears his knee the first week of camp?

It's an inexact science but his 247 offer list is not too impressive for the state's #1 prospect

I believe Lincoln Williams will come in get stronger and knows that with all probability, Coleman and Vaaks will be gone possibly as soon as next year.....That opens up alot of possiblities for him.

Kitt and Martin coming in both play a different game, + if Williams gets stronger/handle gets better, who knows, another B1G PG for us?

Academics. Last fall, he projected as a non-qualifier and likely JuCo or Prep.

Williams IF we can keep him will be a big big plus for us long term....gotta keep him from being B1G headed. LOL

Rotation

Bigs: Tomi, Mirk, Z
Wings: Andrej, Jake
Guards: Vaaks, Coleman, Morillo

There should still be quality guard minutes available, a few big minutes too.

2027 Recruits so far:

Quinton Kitt (2027 F) 6'6 very good size, think committed on November 27th, 2025 think Dylan Harper kind of flow to his game....let's hope he becomes that good. He is not right now, but he is good.

Mason Martin (2027 G) committed on January 16th, 2026, outstanding shooter, quick release, JJ Redick size and release, type of shooter.

Brady Pettigrew (likely 2027 ReClass), we should be in really good standing here, and both Kitt/Martin have played against him and like him, and at 6'3 has really good size to be our next stud guard.

Kelly is on record as not reclassing if memory serves me correctly so he if landed he would be 2028.

B1Gs will come from transfer portal and Euro imo moving forward, much better to have experienced/aged B1G's (less physical development needed) than guards imo. Guards coming in IF the right ones are got will more likely be able to play early than underdeveloped (physical) wings/inside players.

By doing this I think we are far more likely to be able to maintain HIGH level expectations every year from now on.
