Nice post tank. Agreed.

As of now I think rounding out the class with Bibbs and Frederick would be ideal (assuming a second scholarship opens up).

I am surprised that we have not gone the 5yr graduate students route. I thought with our excellent grad schools that some guys from big programs and know their way around the block would better see the benefits of attending LU. I was thinking a true post player to help Cameron Krutwig learn the ropes.

Tony Nixon was a graduate transfer. In my opinion, what you need from that role is a proven specialist in some area (a shot blocker, a three point shooter) to come off the bench in a particular situation.

Based on twitter activity another name to look out for is Adarius Avery. A 6-5 JUCO guard who scores at a pretty high clip and rebounds very well for his size.

I would like to know how many spots we are trying to fill.

"Officially" 1 still. With not a ton of inside knowledge, I have a feeling that Smith and Granic are both gone, so that might make 3. I think it's somewhat likely that either the 2 freshmen guards transfer, which would be super disappointing because they have so much potential. Hopefully they stay because it would look awful for PM to see more promising players leave after fizzling out in the development stage of their collegiate careers.

You think Satterwhite and/or Skokna will transfer??

I don't think it's 100% either is gone, but I don't think it's 0% either.

I keep seeing that some think Smith will transfer, I honestly don't see it but who knows. He certainly had less playing time last season but this team for the most part seems to have a pretty close group. The chemistry between them as teammates seemed much stronger than in years past and Moser raves about the group he's had. Smith is a competitor and I think it's likely he'd want to stick around as any transfer would be to a lower level. I think with a healthy off-season he can still give solid minutes off the bench as a spark plug/energy guy. A lot of this season was spent with him playing catch up given he missed most of the offseason (same with Bruno).

That said with the offers we're making and 25's info that we're looking for a guard but still offering bigs; I'm willing to bet Vlatko will be transferring. His play time all but evaporated and given he's from out of he country, playing at the D1 level, with rigorous academics...it's a tough balance for anyone.

I'd be pretty shocked and disappointed if either of the freshmen transfer. Both averaged double digit minutes throughout the season in their first year and there will be a lot of minutes opening up following this next season, on top of what will be open up with Milton gone this upcoming season. A lot was made about Satterwhite not playing for two games, but after that benching it definitely seemed like he refocused in practice and improved greatly over the last 3 weeks of the season. I'd argue the benching lit a fire and ultimately helped him improve. Skokna meanwhile had an up and down year, but as long as he's comfortable in the states I'd be surprised to see him leave as well, he'll likely get more time at point along with Clayton now that Milt's gone. While his shot wasn't falling this season i was often impressed with his distribution for a freshmen.

New offer - juco point guard Chris Darrington. Looks like he has a dozen offers already, including Bradley.
