There will be at least 2 scholarships to fill when Karaban and McNeely depart for the NBA, maybe 3 if Ball also declares.

Yep, right now they have 14 scholly guys with eligibility next year. Any adds/and outs will be decided in the spring, so he'd be looking at portal guys or development guys more or less. Personally I'd like to see a true beast mode PF rebounder/defender. Seems like the only thing the team is lacking for a versatility match-up vs. an opponent who has a similar front line.

Plus it's going to 15 scholarships next year so with 2 out, there will be 3 available scholies.

The board work was definitely lacking against URI. As the game went on, UConn improved on the boards. Which I think was partly depth wearing URI down. Hurley seemed to think the only legit concern might be defensive rebounding. He seemed certain offensive rebounding can and will be fixed.
