This has been my thought all along. It's like Z the year he went to Arkansas. Or when Boswell went to AZ.

"If he were to hypothetically transfer from this school, where's he most likely to end up?" At no point is it too early to ask the question (especially if we have that kind of ties to him).

Guys transfer left and right now. NEVER is it a good idea to burn bridges.

Luigi reminds me of Mara, who wasn't anywhere near as good playing for Cronin.

Jakstys 6'10' 220 is significantly stronger than Lieb so he can help out of somebody is beating up Tomas or Big Z in the paint and David is in foul trouble.
Landon Davis is 6'9" 220 lbs but does not look as strong.

in 2027 we run the risk of Tomas, Big Z graduating and David to NBA. Depending on what bigs we can bring in Jakstys and Landon Davis might be playing significant 4 or 5 roles.

I don't buy that Jakstys (pending a full recovery) is the same as Lieb. In the brief time we've seem him, he looked like he put on quality weight. He's also much more athletic than Lieb.
