Malcolm Dandridge, the back-up center from Memphis, just entered the portal.
Immediately eligible with 1 year remaining. 5.7 ppg and 3.6 rpg over just 14.5 mpg last season (20 games) Always seemed to be underutilized during his time there. Could be a decent contingency plan at center. |

Bandaogo commits!
No guarantee he'll be immediately eligible, but he will surely be an impact player from the moment he steps on the court. |

Huge get. Aziz probably has a better chance at getting a mental health waiver, so this mitigates some of the risk that Reynolds might not be eligible. And it gives us a true rim protector, which means we can afford to take some lumps on perimeter defense. I'll feel more comfortable with the young PGs, Fredricks, Simas, and Vik at PF if Aziz is waiting at the rim.

Considering how hard it's been to get anyone positive, this seems to be a good sign. I thought this kid was going to follow Madsen to Cal, or go elsewhere. It's been dragging out for a few weeks now.
I really didn't think Wes would have this much trouble. Maybe a year in the Big 12 will change that, but I'm wondering if the assistant coaches who usually make the first impressions on these kids aren't really the right recruiting tools we need. Andre Morgan, Mike Roberts, and Chad Dollar? Are they getting it done? We have great facilities. Great history. Our conference wasn't ideal, but it hadn't stopped us from getting pro level talent in the past. Just surprised how long since Cronin's departure we haven't really gotten a truly dangerous team. |

Torvik's roster cast doesn't know how to handle all of our big men and runs out some absurdly huge lineups. It also doesn't have Newman, which makes the problem worse. It's not realistic but still fun to look at.
PG: Daveon 28 / Jizzle 7 / Fredrick 5 SG: Fredrick 16 / Skillings 15 / Rayvon 4 / Simas 5 SF: Simas 27 / Ody 13 PF: Vik 28 / Ody 12 C: Aziz 26 / Reynolds 12 / Vik 2 |

Depending on how waivers/eligibility plays out, we should definitely go into next season expecting to compete for a NCAA tournament bid. If we return the core of this roster for 24/25 then we could potentially be a top team in the Big 12. As frustrating as the on-the-court results have been during the past 2 seasons, there's great reason to be optimistic about the future under Wes. |

I think we might be better off if Reynolds sits a year. That would give him a full year to get in better shape and would keep us from having a barren frontcourt in 2026.
PG: Jizzle 25 / Daveon 15 SG: Fredrick 20 / Newman 15 / Skillings 5 SF: Simas 20 / Skillings 15 / Rayvon 5 PF: Vik 10 / Ody 20 / Reed 10 C: Aziz 25 / Vik 15 |

If Reynolds does play, I think he takes most of Ody's minutes and pushes either Reed or Rayvon out of playing time.
PG: Jizzle 25 / Daveon 15 SG: Fredrick 20 / Newman 15 / Skillings 5 SF: Simas 20 / Skillings 15 / Rayvon 5 PF: Vik 25 / Ody 10 / Reed 5 C: Aziz 25 / Reynolds 15 |
