McCune is an intriguing prospect. I hear he’s talented but, with only one spot for a true post available and Price and Williams out there, McCune might have to fully develop as a Raymar-style forward to find a fit at MSU.

It’s not that early to discuss these players. The 2010 class is almost done and 2011 will be the real deal soon. Lots of prospects on MSU’s radar (some of whom may have offers soon) and continued competition from UM should make the scenarios very fun to watch. If Henton can develop into a true wing, PLP (PG), Henton (SG), McCune (SF), and Price (PF/C) would be an outstanding class.

I don't think I've mentioned

that I’ve moved the projected roster page over from the old site.

You can find it on the left sidebar below "Your Hosts."

Good point on the number of post players we have committed for the next several years. Five scholarship guys projected for the 2011-12 roster (assuming Roe doesn’t go pro early).

The space for another post player could even get tighter if the last 2010 scholarship goes to someone like Adreian Payne or Jon Horford instead of someone like Trey Zeigler or Justin Martin (not that I’m confident any of those four end up at MSU, just sayin’).
Izzo could take 2 more posts in 2010/2011 if talent forced his hand (2 of Payne/Price/Williams) but that would be the absolute limit, I’d think. Any more and you either play shallow or Green and Sims cover SF.

I suppose if he brings it next year and Izzo is confident about Sherman and Nix both being reliable centers, McCune could come in as the only 2011 big (especially as a Zach Price Plan B) and play PF .

there is almost no chance we take another big in 10. there is too much talent in 11 and no one that looks all world left in 10. Im betting Martin is player 4 out the 10 class. We need wings and dont need bigs

I completely agree that taking another big in 2010 would be odd but I keep hearing credible sources say that MSU is showing interesting in Adreian Payne.
