Anyone got insights on possible Transfer candidates to replace Kofi if he leaves? You have to think that what we just did in the last 2 games shows that even without Ayo this team has what it takes to be a national title contender next year if we get a really good Big Man to come in and play for us. To that end do you think we'd be able to poach any of these guys from their current teams considering the COVID means no sit-out year and immediate eligibility?

Olivier Sarr; 7'-0"/237 lbs; Class of '17 (Kentucky)
Neemias Queta; 7'-0"/245 lbs; Class of '18 (Utah St)
Sando Mamukelashvili; 6'-11"/240 lbs; Class of '17 (Seton Hall)
Drew Timme; 6'-10"/235 lbs; Class of '19 (Gonzaga)
Charles Bassey; 6'-11/235 lbs; Class of '18 (Western Kentucky)
Moussa Cisse; 6'-10"/220 lbs; Class of '20 (Memphis)
Kai Jones; 6'-11"/218 lbs; Class of '19 (Texas)
Derek Culver; 6'-10"/255 lbs; Class of '18 (West Virginia)
Dallas Walton; 7'-0"/235 lbs; Class of '17 (Colorado)
Jay Huff; 7'-1"/240 lbs; Class of '17 (Virginia)
Bernard Kouma; 6'-10"/240 lbs; Class of '20 (Oklahoma St)

McDermott has made some comments that have him in hot water. Hard to survive that type of stuff in 2021.
As a frequently targeted minority, I hope he can work deeply to educate himself and we can swiftly move on. The year doesn't change how civil we should be with one another. Cancel culture is 🐂💩.

Edit: Fine, if it gets us TyTy, cancel him harder than Dr. Seuss.

I'll make an exception if it provides us a top 30 pg

This article from the Athletic about Emoni Bates Is fascinating. I had no idea he and his family had such an interesting backstory, especially the last year or so. Definitely check it out if you have a subscription and if you don't as a sports fan, you should.
