With Muhammad transferring, that gives us one more scholarship. What type/position should we go after? Grad transfer, JC, HS, Guard, Wing, Post???? I'd like another 6'3-6'5 HS guard that we could red-shirt. What say you?

We just brought in 2 high school Forwards and a JUCO G.   

With the departure of Draper and Gibson, that's A LOT of backcourt minutes we'll need to make up.   I think Jackson can step in there some.  I think Wise could even play some off the ball.  I think McBride will play a lot of minutes there, and maybe Rubin Jones will pick up some minutes off the ball as well. 

All that to say, ideally, we'd bring in another smooth-shooting JUCO SG like McBride that excels defensively... but really, I'll take the best available player regardless of position.

I believe that NT has covered all bases and is in an enviable position to be very choosy. 

NT is already deep at the one and five.  The most difficult positions to fill.

This is a senior laden team, so I would go with a freshman or maybe a transfer with at least two years to play.

A stretch forward or another wing with potential to be a high scorer.   Obviously, with McCasland, they must be quick and play good defense.

You bring in the best player available. There’s about 5 more scholarships available next year; as guys move on. No need to take a lesser talent to fill a position. Having said that, if equal in talent, I’d go big. WKU moves right back to the favorites role  next year with a healthy 7 ft lotto pick. Z. Simmons stays in foul trouble and another big would be needed in close games.

Ousmane not sufficient for you in that regard?

I guess I thought of Ousmane as more of a power forward and not a true post player.

He’s way more of a post than a PF. I don’t know about his post moves, but he seems better around the rim but not as athletic as Geu. Hopefully he can finish he put ins

Geu was a very experienced grad transfer.  A freshman is not likely to take his place.  However, he could grow into a better player and be a factor for years.

Thomas Bell actually played more minutes than Geu. If Bell takes over as the starter, Robinson and Ousmane could tag team to replace Geu’s minutes off the bench. Robinson taking Geu’s minutes at the 4 and Ousmane taking Geu’s minutes at the 5. Also could up Bell and Zach Simmons’ minutes to cover Geu’s minutes as well. None of the guys on the roster currently would be asked to replace Geu and his minutes by themselves.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
