Ooh, good question. As much as I want a solid big, or even a physical, tough as nails 6’6 kid, I think we really need a two who can shoot it (and hit). We haven’t been as productive from the perimeter this year and we lose Sellers. If we had a dead eye two it would open up the rest of the floor even more for Moses and Teague to work around the basket. And as those two earn double teams we need that gunner from the outside to make the d pay.

At this point would you rather have a solid big or a two that can shoot?? Probably a quality shooter. Would share time with Persons, a senior, Walton, a junior, and would look good as part of a 3G lineup, if he is ready to play right away. With that in mind and seeing some quality young players in El-Amin, Coleman and Acree forming the backcourt of the future, I'd look at a A 5th year transfer. We are lacking a backup center unless Huggins is able to help, but OTOH will have Hazen, Mallers, Teague and Moses, four pretty good players to provide some depth. And as somebody said in the game thread, Gunn has shown he can rebound. And he will have a summer to develop. We could really use that shooting. Gotta create some spacing so we get the most bang for the buck from both our inside game and the guys who can drive to the basket. |

And as those two earn double teams we need that gunner from the outside to make the d pay. Just like this year, I think we'll only get a double team when we play really small teams. But we need the space created by a shooter for those who are scoring inside on the move, and against the zone. |

Either way we should cease recruitment. Let a school with a losing basketball tradition like IU or ISU get him.
