So which direction does Coach Wojcik go?

Not that it has to be one way or the other but does Coach Wojcik travel the prep route with his initial recruiting class, hit the junior college circuit or mix-and-match based on immediate versus long term need with his five available scholarships?

New coaches generally prefer the former road because the necessity is often present to lay a foundation from which springboard (absolutely true for San Jose State University basketball) plus the fact that time is available to absorb early losses.

But a critical factor in this particular equation is the remaining amount of unsigned high school talent that can not only be envisioned performing competitively in the Mountain West Conference but amenable to coming to SJSU.

Depending on the number of out-of-state scholarships at his disposal, this task could initially prove quite challenging, less so if he can also look beyond the borders of the Golden State.

JC recruits are usually signed to fill immediate holes and Spartan basketball sports a number of those.

Wojcik has to land a center who can be a positive for at least 25 minutes a game next season and that's a Herculean task unless he reaches out to the JC ranks.

He also needs to add a creator on offense, someone who can break down his opponent for a good look when an offensive set hasn't produced such.

Additionally, if Wojcik can locate and sweet talk the right talent, look for him to bring in a prep point, someone he can mold into his coach-on-the-floor and have available for four seasons.

Here's guessing that critical and immediate needs will be filled by JC talents and that the remaining 'ships go to high schoolers but Wojcik may even decide to not utilize all five rides if the 'right' players aren't available.
