This is the kind of guy I'm hoping we can get.
Definitely
1. Comes from a defensive oriented team
2. Produced really well as a freshman
3. 3 years to play
Would be an awesome pick up
On3 has their portal tracker/ranking up and running.
I really like his numbers. He was a top 50 player out of high school.

That's a number I think Blum can come up with. Much higher than that, maybe not.
Might be true but if a player is just looking for the highest NIL I don't think TJ will be going after them. Culture fit is one his biggest strengths and a major reason he gotten the them as connected as they are. Cant see the staff bringing one player who's NIL more than the rest of the team's deals combined.
Not referring to Garrison specifically and looks like he'd be an ideal fit and I have no idea what his NIL ask would be, just if any major transfer wanted to come to Ames I don't see them getting a top of the market deal.
Totally agree. But I don't think 500k is anywhere near the top of the market for a transfer center.
I have no real info on that, just basing it on what I've heard from Blum, etc. about needing to fundraise for transfer big men.
Saw him up close after a game. Dude is a dude.
I definitely agree, and I wouldn't want to bring even a great player in and mess up team chemistry. Give me the overlooked guy who wants to just bust his butt and be part of a winning team every single time.
I love Okani's game. Really good touch around the rim and can step out and shoot it. Moves his feet great for a kid that size even though he doesn't feel 6-8. Really good instincts and gets off the floor quickly.
He'd be a really nice piece.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if we substituted versatility at the 5 for size. It would be nice to have both, but being able to switch and guard the perimeter seems a lot more important than banging down low in our system.

Yeah our system doubles hard in the paint no matter the opponent so I've always felt height isn't as necessary, but it (and moreso length) helps. I've been curious how that will play out with Rock. I'm assuming he's a bit slower footed than Rob Jones (for sure slower than Ward) but his sheer size may make up for that. But doesn't seem like we'll change our system with how successful it's been.
I've been wondering about JT on that too, but from his HS film, he sure moves well for his size. What we're going to miss a lot next year is how Rob, Tre and Hason were able to handle a guard on the perimeter and also help and recover properly. That takes not only good feet, but experience.
A) ward is 6'9 so not like some massive gap
B) Only 5 other players in CBB averaged 2+ BLK and 1+ STL per game this season.
tell me this dude wouldnt help ISU?
