Pure speculation on my part, but I was thinking Columbia guard Mike Smith might be a possible grad transfer in 2020 that we have a shot at.
We recruited him hard out of Fenwick where he came in second for Illinois Mr. Basketball.
He's had a stellar career at Columbia, starting from day one with a career average of about 15 ppg and 5 apg. Second team All Ivy last year and League scoring leader.
He went down with a torn meniscus early last December and is out for the year. If the NCAA grants him an additional year of eligibility he could play his senior year at Columbia, get his Ivy League degree, then grad transfer back home to a school with a good chance to make the NCAA Tourney (i.e., Loyola).

He is the experienced point guard we need (Love Marquise Kennedy but he is not a pure point guard). The starting lineup of Krut, Lucas, Welch, Kennedy and Smith would be awesome, with the added attraction that they're all from the Chicago area, with two from the Catholic League.
