With player filtering back, any kids that will make a difference for their teams, either solidifying finals hopes or giving teams an edge? Any going to different clubs?
Nick Marshall's dad please quit posting on Hoops
Not a parent, remember vaguely that a list was mentioned somewhere, just curious if any new guys may shift the balance.
Could another club poach any kid coming back?
I know every club in the league is watching and talking to all the Sturt juniors over there.
This recent returnee clubs supposedly that have no money still threw the bag at him. Probably just put more levies on their hapless kids and families to cover it.
Sturt need to to get their Premier League business in order or it is a matter of time before returning juniors go elsewhere. Despite a lot of hardwork done by so many if the business and commercial side is not in order for Premier League programs they will continue to lose and "their juniors", future high level pros will make business decisions to go elsewhere.
Guys back from college who are playing:
Nick Marshall
Ray Harding
Tom Kubank
Jack Turnbull
Alex Mudronja
Anyone else?
One is the best clearly but is older and probably won't play finals. Other younger guys have a lot of potential to help the playoff run. Harding and Marshall will help north if they can hit the open 3 ball, something that’s been lacking so far. Turnbull playing again, heard he had a medical injury?
Last time Sapwell came back he destroyed Centrals chemistry and they went on a few 40 point loss streaks, expect that to happen again. Only cares about himself, heard he wasn't going to be brought back. Will take away Riewers shots, expect Centrals to plummett!

#492, So who is clearly the best? Not Kubank surely, the team has hardly won since his return. Would assume you are talking Mudronja as he is the only one being signed currently by an NBL squad.
North currently have 2 of the top 5 most 3's made for the season, maybe not lacking as much as you suggest. Marshall and Harding do give them the depth they seem to be lacking though.
546, I apologise for not including Mudronja as I was strictly looking at last years stats and it slipped my mind. Yes he will probably be the best but he's in same boat as Kubank if he does play for Sturt. Just because you lose games though doesn’t mean there’s no individual talent. Harding and Marshall will be interesting to watch to see how they help North.
Wheels have fallen off West so cant really blame Kubank for that. Otherwise explain previous few years. He'd be a walk up starter for nearly every team, seems pretty low maintenance.
I think North's depth is just fine - all these college kids do is just add to its strength. Norwood has the issue with bench strength.
Norwood hasn't got any issues with bench strength, Coach Webber simply refuses to play them, been that way ever since he got the job.
