Liddell planning on visiting Ohio State tomorrow unofficially.

Look for him to cut his list after Peach Jam, Ohio State is still the one to watch from everything I have gathered.

I haven’t followed recruiting lately... are there any 5th year transfer bigs out there still? We have 3 open schollies for 2018-19 now, I can’t imagine we aren’t going to fill at least 2 of those with new players, right?

Who is out there that's any good or would want to come here?

We’ve got a decent amount to sell I’d say: big ten, lots of TV, Maui, guaranteed major pt, surrounded by talented guards, potential “missing piece” to successful season

I just don’t have any idea if there’s anyone out there even. I’ll keep my fingers crossed...

Good reply RiverCityChief

That's just what Jeff Finke said on the radio a year or so ago. He was in that class so I took him at his word.

Jeff Finke would be one of the very few who would know better than me on that question. I would have assumed KG was ahead of Easy E.

I believe the strategy is a solid

I don't. It looks reactive to me. Recruiting is a rough game, so I'm not about to second guess it. If the staff has made mistakes, I imagine they're learning what they can, and giving it everything they have to bring in upper tier talent.

We have 2 big guys on the roster, one of which is an intriguing 7 footer, so that's a start. The turnover is hard to get my head around though.

respect my decision™
Obviously, we're in scramble mode for 2018 bigs. Gotta land 2. Grad transfer and a project? (project: cause all that's left is scraps). At least our net is large. Going to be an interesting summer.

Hard pass on another project...5th year and or 2019
