Can we just hold tryouts for those in the portal that we think will help the program and then pursue and make offers to the ones that fit the system

Plummer could be a huge spark off the bench, a guy who needs little space to get his shot off. Not sure why but i get Ben Gordon vibes for any Bulls fans in here.

Storr with 29 & 9 today. Not too shabby.

Storr has a built body, length, and can shoot. I’m surprised he didn’t have more offers. Henrickson was on Werner’s podcast and said something about him having a low motor when he was in Illinois, and this didn’t think he was a high major player. But if you only look at his highlights he definitely looks the part. Could be a Tevian Jones situation where the production doesn’t match what the player appears to be.

Looks like a good-VG candidate for backup PG.

He had higher a win share score last year than everyone but Kofi and Ayo on Illinois' roster this year. He's not going to be a backup. He also averaged 1 assist/game. Doesn't seem like a backup PG. Would be more fun to start him, Curbelo, and Miller. Find a way to rotate those minutes around with Hutcherson + freshman wing.

Getting Plummer would be a boon.

Does anybody know why 247 has podz so much more higher ranked than the other recruiting sites? He’s ranked 72th on just 247, but the composite has him ranked 158th. Why? And which one seems more reasonable?
