Finally, a big who we don't have to argue about being a 3 or a stretch 4. This would save the board about 700 back-and-forth posts. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euroclydon Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) The NCAA needs to tighten up how the portal works. For one, the timeframe/windows for declaring should not be so long. I believe Justin Smith entered the portal in the mid-May window when he left. Hard to put a team together when you have no idea who's staying and who's going in May.

ButlerHoosier Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 If I had my picks Fardaws Aimaq or Eddie Lampkin would be one. I think a pickup of Josh Cohen would be cool. That would give us immediate size up front. Jameer Nelson Jr while small can fill it up and I think can translate to this level. Now if only we could figure out an athletic forward.

I am not convinced we need a wing, and I really don't think we need a ball dominate guy, if XJ returns. Fardaws is near the top of my list, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly assume the director of recruiting has their hand in overseeing the transfer portal. It's too big of a commodity to assign to a GA, imo.

Pretty sure I read on another site that Hulls and Adam Howard are kind of at the top of searching the portal and then bring a shortened list of names to the assistants and they get passed up the chain that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates and Galloway will be in a more natural position alongside XJ. I wouldn't mind one more guy that can blow by dribble penetrate though. I know X would have been that guy this year and is what this team is severely missing but it would help Bates and Galloway a bunch having another guy that can get in the lane and then kick out, or even take it to the rim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a blow by guy at this level? I'm optimistic about him, geez if he can be the Ohio player of the year as a junior. He seems to be a real good at everything guy. I'm not sure I'd put him in the blow by category but he's likely savy enough with shot fakes and his threat to shoot to get into the lane.

But-- XJ 32-34mpg, TG 25-28mpg, Bates 22-28mpg (at least), Cupps 15mpg.... You see where I'm going with this.... if Gunn or Newton can play next year, there isn't really mins 1-3...plus you have Banks.

We need two post players, and a wing/stretch 4 that can shoot based on graduation losses. If we have transfers, tall wings that can shoot would be a major preference. One of the posts needs to have at least a respectable outside shot. We need to end the days of having two post players in the game with zero threat of shooting outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't see us adding a point guard. Edited March 15, 2023 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
