So we need to start identifying some back up options. Option 1 is gone, option 2 is still available but far from done, and option 3 seems like an Iowa lean. That’s all we have in the pipeline. If we don’t land Eason, do we just punt and try to get 2 grad transfers ? |

i think in general the grad transfer game is something far more likely to happen under Brannen. |

The grad transfer game is a very risky game. You don't know who's going to be available and don't have long to recruit them. Just like top bigs are generally the hardest guys to recruit (fewer of them and thus more competition). Grad transfer bigs are hot commodities. I'd prefer we get a JUCO or transfer over a grad tranfer, so at least we get a couple of years from the guy. Though obviously a freshman big would be best.
I believe we still have other guys we are looking at. Nigel John is apparently one guy we are interested in. |

Legit chance we roll into the early signing period with just 2 bigs on the roster for next season.
Will need to work some late cycle magic to reel in talent that carries our future. I’m still holding out hope for Eason. May need to look at trying to nab a high level recruiter, maybe take another stab at pettway |

Traynor would be a major get but it’s not looking good. His dad went there. We can provide more playing time though. Really depends on what the kid wants. |

I think we can do better than Vogt and Sorolla if we can start working the transfer market right away. But...BUT...maybe we can get Eason or JJ etc. I would wait until spring if we can't get either of those guys unless something really decent pops up. |
