Breidenbach a 4 star and top 150 player coming out of HS.

Olayinka averaged 7.5p and 5.5r in only 18m/game as a freshman. Listed at 6'10"

I kind of like Wilhelm's game. He won't be an interior force for us though. Unless Clayton is going to be more committed to going inside, Wilhelm is just a bigger version of him with a funky looking shot.

I really did like Foster's game but his freshman year stats at Monmouth were no better than IJ's as a freshman. Look at IJ's senior year highlights. He looks just like guys like Pal, Foster etc. Who's to say he won't make a huge jump? (Internal voice whispers: you hope. You hope).

I'd rather take best available rather than a big just for the sake of a big. Another bouncy wing would help us on defense as much as anything.

We've got talented guard depth I'd go all-in and build a team to press next year

Olayinka seems like a project with a high ceiling in time. For our last scholarship, I don't know if that fits the need unless a few of our existing bigs really raise their games. His game log numbers at JUCO are all over the place with no consistent pattern, but a few high water marks. Video looks like a Nate Springs clone. Lots of lob dunks reaching above the square, swats, etc.

NIU transfer Doctor Bradley made front page of ESPN.com. It's not a good thing.

I'm actually curious on this. If it's his COVID year that's fine for eligibility, but what about the transfer?

In theory he already used his free one time transfer when he went to Butler. This is transfer #2. Do you get a free pass if it's your COVID year that I wasn't aware of?

Same thought applies to Tanner Holden returning to Wright State. Why doesn't he have to sit a year either?

Is there a COVID loophole? Or a return to previous school loophole?

You do realize Clayton is not freelancing out there -- he's playing exactly where Boals tells him to play. If Boals tells him to play inside, he plays inside.

If he was playing how Boals wanted him to, he wouldn’t have lost his starting role.
