How successful we are ...

in wins and losses in the next year will be determined in large measure by how successful we are in closing out recruiting in the next two months.

Yes and no

Finding a legit big....yes.  Maybe not two years down the road because I would be satisfied with just a solid 5th year transfer at this point.  That, and the development of our freshmean class. 

[FredsSlacks]

the real question is... should we add a big like jordy that may need a year or 2 of development, or bring in a grad transfer that gives us 12 and 7 for 1 year?

Both if you can.

Norm, I am hoping for the world, but my gut tells me we have finished out recruiting for this year.

As I watch some of the teams that are in the different tournaments they do not have a big or a big that is very good.  HOWEVER,

they almost all play in a conference where they can get away with this.

 

Seems like many teams are going to a bunch of guys all about the same size and just run and shoot.  But if you aren't making shots or run into that tall teams it is over.

 

I would like to add a GOOD, SERVICEABLE center to add to the team.

as of right now, we can only add 1. could change in the next couple weeks, but right now it's 1

Guessing the IF Miles could get both, there were be a second spot open.

I doubt Miles is recruiting like he only has 1 scholorship to give.  If he can find a good freshmen big and a guy who could average 12&7 he's going to make room for them IMO. 

[Norm Peterson]

I get the sense, based on that Miles quote, that we'll have at least one player leave, possibly more.

 

My priorities would be:

 

Grad transfer big (mystery Louisville guy?)

Jordy

Freshman shooting guard transfer (to eventually join our 2016 class.)

 

I just think we need another good guard.

This...

[Dead Dog Alley]

The five teams with the weakest interior play in the Big Ten were Rutgers, Minnesota, Illinois, Nebraska, and Penn State. That's a pretty strong correlation with who finished in the last five spots in the conference. (100%)

[jdw]

I don't think Wisconsin's was very good

[throwback]

Happ, Brown, and Hayes combined for 38 pts and 19 reb per game ... on a team that averaged less than 70 ppg. That's pretty good in my book. 

 

True, none of those guys is a big bruiser with a huge wingspan like a Stone, Bryant, Hammons, etc, but they were plenty effective as a group inside. Especially Happ as a freshman.

[nustudent]

Wisconsin's front court was good.   It was their backcourt outside of Koenig that wasn't very good

[lanigan123]

I would like to land Jordy.

I want a transfer guard like Cullen Neal.

I would be interested in the Louisville big.

Can we be successful without that, sure.
