I am incorrect, Nance isn't coming

Piper was saying we are focused on a back up big and leaving one scholly open.

Insiders, Is this now the direction you are hearing?
This has been what we’ve been told for awhile. Just a lot of Nance smoke with him pulling out of the NBA Draft. Nance or some other vet big is what we should expect - with 1 open because Underwood feels like he missed on an opportunity a couple years ago and hit on one last year with Dainja (TBD in our eyes).

Non-jokingly - it would be nice if Lieb had a Mav Morgan progression where he was unplayable for 2 years and then halfway through his junior year (his mom yelled at him and told him he was playing like a ______) a light turned on and he was solid.

I believe that it was either / or re Nance and Mayer, never both.
Coach said lets get one, take the first commit.

As it's been stated here, now looking for a big and one open scholarship.

Makes sense. Can see Nance wanting to play the 4 instead of the 5 and Mayer is pretty clearly signed up to play that spot.

A few questions: Where did Nance go to high school? I assume that he, like other players in the portal, has an agent. I also assume his agent will be part (NIL) of the recruiting process, probably more so than the NCAA likes? I assume our collective of deep pocketed alums will work with that agent? Any help appreciated; I'm working on an article. Finally, what are our odds with Nance? Would you say 50-50?
Keep delivering the quality content, Reese

Yup.
I can't see both of these players on the same team, someone or both would be unhappy.

Are there any playable PF/Cs out there?
ie someone better than Lieb, who doesn’t seem quite ready to contribute yet.

How I wish either BBV or Payne had stayed.
