Cunningham will be a junior next season, and yes there are currently 2 open scholarships.
Odds are, at least one kid will transfer out of the program b/w now and the start of next summer, don't know who, its just the way of college basketball at the moment. If Archie sees 2 kids he likes with good potential, you sign them both and worry about the rest later.
As I see it,
Next season UD will have, assuming everyone comes back:
The bigger of the 2 jordan's, Cunningham, Kostas, Williams and Miller for the 5 spot, low post 4 and face up 4.
On the true wing they'll have Davis, Mikesell & Landers.
At the combo gaurd spot they'll have The other Jordan
At the Point Gaurd they'll have Crosby and Wright.
That kind of make up tells me they could use a kid or two that can play the 2 or the 3 in college. If 2 want to sign up, buy into the true team philosophy (hopefully that's back after taking off the 2nd half of last season), then sign up 2 kids that are willing to commit to UD. There are no guarantees that a decent transfer is interested in UD, there are no guarantees that somebody doesn't leave the team at the end of the season from the above list. 2 birds in hand are better than 1 down the road in the bush as long as the first 2 birds fill the coach's needs.
