Good pickup. I think that completes the recruiting class. Cole Bowser is a 6'6" wing/shooting guard/small forward attending high school at famed DeMatha HS in the DC area. Described as a versatile player who can contribute on both offense and defense. Verbal Commits listed offers from 8 schools - most notably George Washington Univ. and James Madison. Recruited mainly by schools in the Mid Atlantic region.

Where did the scholarship come from? I thought we only had four seniors this year

We have 4 seniors, but Jalen Sullinger who went back to play for Kent St. this season would have been our 5th senior, so that scholarship is open as well...

Does anyone on the roster qualify for an additional Co-VID year?

No current players at FU that will have a Covid season next year...

In fact the only Covid players next year that will play anywhere will be those that have had a redshirt or medical redshirt year since the Covid season and will be entering their 6th season of College Basketball... So not many will be around anywhere...

Interesting, no one under 6-4 on the roster as currently constructed.

If past is prologue though, I’d be surprised if we didn’t lose an upperclassman to the portal….giving us room to add another veteran G if we feel we need one.

No one shorter than 6'4" currently listed for next year's roster. Is that a change in recruiting philosophy or just a co-incidence? We tried to sign guys like Staunton, Wodke, Perry, and Skaljac the past couple of years but they signed elsewhere. Bronson and Wilkins were/are primarily high school point guards, so we are not trying to change their natural positions. I think Franklin may be playing a lot of point too.

A very nice recruiting class, multiple solid mid-major offers to all these guys...

The one obvious negative is shooters, talking pjay, Anderson type.
