In the first three recruiting classes following the 2010 Final Four, Bob Huggins added 16 players to the roster. Eron Harris was one of the 16 and is now one of the 11 to transfer, be dismissed or not qualify academically or medically.

Eleven. That’s two shy of a full roster. Those 11:

Noah Cottrill
Darrious Curry
David Nyarsuk
Aaron Brown
Jay Forsythe
Jabarie Hinds
Tommie McCune
Keaton Miles
Aaric Murray
Volodymry Gerun
Eron Harris

The five who stayed are … well, they stayed, and in the case of Juwan Staten, we’re not sure his stay will extend past this season. The other four: Kevin Noreen, Gary Browne, Dominique Rutledge and Terry Henderson.

You can play with five. We’re going to play with 11. I’ll start Cottrill and Harris in the backcourt with Miles, Forsythe and Murray in the frontcourt. Hinds is my sixth man and Brown is my my shooter off the bench. Nyarsuk and Forsythe are my bigs. Curry, who people have always told me was going to be a player, is my hybrid 2/3 that I can use interchangeably. Gerun is my victory cigar and McCune is my towel waiver, who may or may not have his shorts on properly.

Your turn…
