Now that we have the coach, the next step is to turn attention to the roster.
I think it is pretty clear that Forte and Evans will be back. It probably won't take much for Underwood to keep most of the roster on board. There will probably 1 to 3 guys who don't return, though. I think Underwood will keep McGriff and Dziagwa committed. Beyond that, most likely 1 to 3 scholarships will open up and allow him to go out and get some additional recruits to fill out his roster. Hopefully he is able to find at least 1 big man (uncommitted HS senior/JuCo guy/Grad transfer) who can come in and play quality post minutes immediately. If he can do that, he will put himself in position to have a monster first season at OSU.
