I think with the way the grad transfer market is now...you should never end up dramatically low on bodies. It's a pseudo free agency. Yes, you want to get someone who won't be a cancer, but there are a ton of Duby Okeke types who can give you marginal contributions and 5 fouls per game.

A+ all the way right now. They inherited a pretty poor situation and have added some very nice pieces and kept the ones that mattered.

Agreed but was giving myself some margin for error

We have a connection here

Judging by the teams who has shown interest in each, its fair to say that one is perceived to have a much higher upside than the other

We didn’t have a legit center yesterday either. Fully expect Johnson to be N within the next two weeks.

Impressive.

Think it’s likely there with Roby not coming back. My post was about what I was hoping for vs expecting

The kid from Western Kentucky, yes

Ideal situation for me is... Roby returns Thor goes to Iceland 1. Jervay Green 2. Amir Harrs 3. Brady Heiman 4. Dachon Burke 5. Haanif Cheatham 6. Akol Arop 7. Karrington Davis 8. Isaiah Roby 9. Matej Kavas 10. Add Mack 11. Add Johnson 12. Add Benton 13. Add Ouedrago

Guessing the recruiting and where we are at on spots is an indication of what Roby is going to do. Guessing the staff isn't exactly in the dark on it.

Don’t think there is a conditional release any more. It’s either release or not.

This is a pretty damn impressive staff Next year might be rough but I think we have a tourney win by year 3.

It's not legal to recruit Jervay. But as you mentioned, there is nothing illegal about checking with his coach and planting a bug in his ear

Visiting Manhattan and Ames this week.

A. If he was gonna jump at the first big thing, he would’ve just taken the UCLA job. B. In the event he does leave, that probably means he left the program better than he found it C. This has been done for a while.

Roby will be a better pro than college player and will be drafted accordingly

This is unbelievable.

It's Hoipening.

Done deal. Remarkable.

I think it is very feasible they leave without Hoiberg influence. Akenten: It may not be his choice Allen: Think he's already gone. Roby: Pros Green: Colorado.

Yep. Next year will be lean. Of the 11 listed, I'd be surprised if more than 7 of them are here next year. The rest of the roster will be newcomers

Has nothing to do with being out for him. There's no sinister motive here. He's just not a high level Big 10 type player, nor will he ever be. That's just the truth, regardless of what type of narrative you want to put on it. I'm really not that high on Davis and I don't know if Davis is at that level, but we haven't seen that he's not yet and he has 4 years vs. 2 to develop.

Thor is not a unique athlete (relative to Big 10 standards), a good defender or a good shooter. Not a good mix. He shouldn't be playing big minutes at a Big 10 level. Davis may not be any of those things either, but at least there is hope that he could be one of them.

Was thinking the same thing. Plus his shooting ability would fit in Hoiberg's offense. Someone will eventually mention his performance in the early part of the conference season....but he will get better looks and developed as a shooter better in Hoiberg's system. He's shown he can hit and hit in bunches.
