Here are his stats from last season. Didn't play the first 10 games I think because of a thumb injury.

For a guy backing up the 4 and 5 spot getting max 20 minutes a game he would be a nice signing. Especially considering he would upgrade the bench quite a bit. He would eliminate the headache I get seeing Quad come into the game.

I know what I am hoping for.

If they get Holden. You have to think Brooks gets a redshirt

Of course both a wing and Big would be nice but with little playing time to offer at the wing this year getting a highly rated player is going to be tough.

We have Brooks, Scott, and Moore. If we don't have a solid backup (or two) in there...we are in trouble.

I'm not sure I would want to come here as a transfer and play behind what seems to be 2 solid starters and compete with 3 other bigs for those backup minutes.

I'd be on board with that...assuming Brooks uses the year to get himself in the best shape possible.

Good point! I was thinking that was a slight possibility anyway.

I think you have to assume all the players are going to get at least 5 minutes per game (or so). Even Q and JJ got more than that last year. So if Clark and Washington get 30 minutes and Scott, Moore, and Brooks all get 5 minutes. That only leaves 5 minutes for a transfer.

Unless Brooks redshirts (or Q transfers) I just don't see our team as the best option for playing time for a transfer big

If we get a grad transfer, I could see essentially a 3 man rotation at the 4-5. Let's be honest, it shouldn't be much of a competition for a guy with grad transfer experience to grab the 15-20 minutes that Clark and Washington don't play.

If you are assuming Scott, Moore and Brooks all get around 0-2 minutes I would agree...but I think we all know that is not going to happen
