I wonder what our plan is at point guard?

I have been thinking about our point guard situation. We know how great Shelton Mitchell is, and expect/hope that he will return for the 2018-2019 season. Regardless, point guard help is our biggest need. We don't have a true backup PG, unless you count Marcquise Reed providing stop duty there or Clyde Trapp bringing the ball up the court sometimes. We absolutely need at least one, if not two, PGs on the roster for 2019-2020.
I keep up with basketball recruiting, and the two 2018 high school point guards highest on our list have recently committed elsewhere: 3-star Trey McGowens committed to Pitt, and 5-star Courtney Ramey committed to Texas. I'm confident our coaches are going after a great point guard, and am curious if there are other high school recruits for 2018 we don't know about yet. Or perhaps there are some transfer PGs who will provide relief. A grad transfer point guard would help us this year, but only have the one year to play. A younger player who has only played a year or two of college basketball would be a better long-term solution, but would not be available this year.
Hopefully we can fill some of these holes in the weeks to come. Our continued basketball success hinges on it.

I keep hearing there are some really good players in state the next few cycles. I follow football but not basketball recruiting. You mind to give me the big time names and positions of instate kids?

Usuck is going after him as well. We need to obviously get the best available for next season and beyond. Trapp is not the answer long term.
Go Tigers!

Thanks for the info. Nice to be going after a guy with that kind of offer list. Hope it works out.
We need that CJ Spiller recruit we weren’t suppose to go after let alone get who can change it all around for us.

I don't think we have a plan.

Are you aware of any Plan B when the young man from Charleston commits elsewhere? Concurrently, what is our plan when Shelton Mitchell turns pro this summer?

You're asking someone on a message board what plans our basketball coaches have? Are you trying to say that if he doesn't know the plan then there is not one?
And are you also stating that Mitchell is for sure turning pro this summer? If so, please provide your credible sources, tia.
