Would like to get Jaylon Cox/Colgate in transfer portal. Think he might test NBA but will be a high cost NIL. We played them early this year and he is super-fast and has put up very good stats this year.

I think Cox, Lee, Stoj and Davis would be a nice set of guards. Morillo would be competing for minutes at 1-3. Bigs would be Tomi, Z, Mirk and Jacsys. Plus another transfer big. Going to be hard to retain the core but they seem to like winning and being teammates

2 guys I would love to add:

- Andrej Kostic from Kansas State. Serbia/Euro connection with the current guys here. Being totally misused and his euro tape looks great. I think he would be a good add for a role player for the 3/4 spot.

- Roman Doman from Murray State. I do not have enough adjectives to say how skilled this kid is at 6’9. He’s basically the French Larry Bird. That size while shooting >50% from the field and 40% from 3 is just incredible.

I love Roman too, sounds exactly like a kid we currently have on the roster (don’t expect the 3 point shooting to carry over to B1G is a lesson for us all though)

I agree with this because, personally, I do not like his shot mechanics. His wind-up reminds me of Big Z, but at the pace of Domask. In the B1G, the closeouts will be more aggressive and quicker and the form is going to hurt him when it comes to getting clean looks.

Id guess Doman sneaks into the backhalf of the 1st round.
