In addition to the usual praise for his players Fran spoke about the below points that have been dicussed here.
There's been speculation about a redshirt for the incoming class. Fran confirms that it's likely.
"In comes a six-man class of Isaiah Moss, Ahmad Wagner, Andrew Fleming, Brandon Hutton, Christian Williams and Dale Jones. Someone will probably redshirt in 2015-16.
"There's a good possibility of that," McCaffery said."
There was a lot of clamoring for a back-up center with the last scholly. Fran says it was a choice to go with the best player available = Jones rather than a center.
"Many expected McCaffery to sign a backup center with his last scholarship. He opted for Jones instead.
"We looked at some," McCaffery said. "We decided to go with the best player available. If you get locked into getting a position, you miss on an opportunity."
A backup post is not necessary, McCaffery said, "if you're long. You give up two inches here, but you can make up two inches at another position."
When Woodbury goes to the bench next season, McCaffery said he'll go with three forwards. So that's how he plans to play."
