I find it so interesting that we hope and pray for some of these high profile guys to come in but over the last 10 years, two guys I really loved who stepped in from smaller programs and made big contributions were Tommy Schmock and Travis Wilkins. They weren't All-MAC guys but they could play. You look at recruits like Adelodun, Sheldon and even Clayton who are still developing and then you look at how Schmock came in and was a breath of fresh air or Wilkins who was the perfect sniper on those solid Christian teams. I equate them to Shumate from Toledo who started at a D-2. I think more looks at the guys who got away from D-1 than castoffs is needed.
Right now, we just have such a glaring hole in the paint. We need someone more proven than Wiz and more physical (and willing to play down low) than Clayton. That’s why we’re all hoping for one of these higher profile commodities.
Otherwise, I agree. I’ve said this going back to last year. D2 talent is a great way to supplement the roster and it would appear Boals is doing that between Sofield and Wells. The latter is intriguing, but I’d welcome either as a piece along with a big man.
