Otzelberger's First Recruiting/Transfer Class - FULL

[cyfan92]

Added. He really is the player we all hoped Tre Jackson would become. Small guard though that may have trouble on defense. But the kid was on fire from 3 as a freshman in the ACC

Walker
Grill
Jackson
Hunter
Hinson
Johnson
Jazz
Conditt
Foster
Jones

That leaves 3 spots left.

Current Roster with known commit/signings and the Bolton transfer:

PG: Hunter, Walker
Guard: Jackson
Wing/stretch players: Hinson, Jaz, Johnson
Forward: Foster, Conditt and Jones

Team really need to put a full court press on some scoring guards. 4 spots left. Not 100% sure anymore that Caleb Grill takes one.

Of the guys we have shown interest in. I'd love to go get 2 guards. (Locke/SG or Richmond since 0% chance we both) Other guard would be between Tyem Freeman from Indian Hills and Mason Madsen (former UNI target at Cincy).

That leaves 2 spots open. I'd love to go get another stretch forward who can guard 2-4 spots with comfort and rebound. Either Chris Payton or Jamal Cain would be welcome additions.

Final spot goes to best available player. Tanner Groves would be a HOME RUN bun everyone in the country wants him. Wouldn't mind another ball handler to take pressure off Hunter

Hate to say it but if we have 3 spots to give, still gonna need a starter stretch 3-4, as I don't think anybody knows the health status of Hinson. Would love to see him bounce back on whatever it is. Then another P/SG, and a shooting G.

If Hunter goes somewhere else, will need to strike gold on impact PG.

Getting clarity on Hunter needs to happen like tomorrow afternoon between 3-4.

I also wouldn't pass on another 5/4. I'd love to see Foster ease back into playing again and/or allow him to play his natural 4? Have yet another 4/5 option so that his re-injury risk is lessened.

Has there been confirmation Foster is staying?

 

[Cycl0nepower]

Has there been confirmation Foster is staying?

Yes.

 

[Acylum]

Keeping my fingers crossed for Cain but things seem pretty quiet.

According to this article we’ve reached out to Stanley Umude from South Dakota

Linking from the other transfer thread. Umude went 21.7/7.0/3.0 last year and shot 35% from 3

He committed to Oakland. Close to home.

How long until we hear if Hunter is staying or not? That seems so be a pretty major domino.

Between him, Bolton, and JCL it feels like there's still a ton of names up in the air still, let alone the many roster openings we still have

Sounds like it's 100% up to hunter. This team needs more ball handlers. Notice not one offer to a true pg since COTZ took over

Did we think it was up to somebody else?

 

[CoKane]

Did we think it was up to somebody else?

I mean, TJ could have (stupidly) not wanted him or like, KU could come flying in with a bag of cash or something

 

[Acylum]

Did we think it was up to somebody else?

FYI, it’s up to me and I’m still weighing my decision.

 

[Rabbuk]

FYI, it’s up to me and I’m still weighing my decision.

There's a kid who averaged 6 and 3 at canisius who would be a great addition to the team for his acapella skills.

Well he’s still signed. Hasn’t asked for his release yet.

So is the transfer whose list we made from VT not a pg?
