Sounds like a teenage supporting actor for a couple of Nickelodeon shows from the early 2000s.

Sounds to me like we have reached critical mass in building this roster.

We've got enough guys, guards, wings, frontcourt, backcourt, center that there will be good competition for playing time, good depth, may the best guys get the minutes.

I suppose they could still bring in another player or two, but they will be picky from here on out is my guess.

All these guys will be showing up in IC in a couple weeks, if they aren't there already, to begin the summer program. Ben evidently runs a good strength and containing program so they will get busy with that, the team will start working together. I believe their contact with coaches is minimal, but it will be a start.

I will look forward to the start of the season.
