I expect to get someone in the transfer market but the minutes are still there. He is fully capable of contributing in a big way. I would lock him in at 20 mpg right now and maybe 30+ depending on who we sign.

I'd take Todd, Williams and Maidoh. They all seem like realistic targets. Maidoh would probably be a redshirt, Williams might be and Todd could probably contribute some backup minutes.
I think this is where we are at right now. A new assistant coach with recruiting ties may open a few other doors. Maybe not big doors but doors nonetheless.

There is one assistant that intrigues me right now but I will wait to post until multiple sources can confirm interest. Outside of that the coaching convo is silent and that's okay by me. I think Brannen is going through the motions and he's going to make good (if not great) decisions.

But just like everyone...it's a wait and see mentality. Even if he lands a good recruiter...even if he lands some good players...it's still all wait and see on the court production.

We can maybe relieve some fan stress for a moment...but the questions are going to be there either way.

It’s guys like you who keep setting the bar higher and higher for Brannen by down playing the importance of Mick.
...And you are the one giving Brannen 2 years, you have the bar set higher than anyone

I'm sorry. You're correct. Mick did have significant success in recent Conference tournaments and that shouldn't be diminished. I was talking about the post season as it pertains to who wins the National Championship.

My guy :-). That's nice. I don't have access to the algorithm you're using to indicate I've set the bar any higher for JB than it was for MC, but I'll trust your math is correct. I never downplayed Mick's success. I just don't think the sky is falling because he left. He was a good coach. He now has the resources to excel at the highest level. I wish him luck.

Penn State transfer and teams second leading scorer Rasir Bolton will be on campus today for an official visit, averaged 11.6 ppg, 2 reb, 1.5 ast, 38.3% fg. He was a freshman so he would have to sit a year with 3 years of eligibility remaining. Also visiting Iowa State this weekend.

Sign me up... Also there is an outside chance of immediate eligibility here.

Immediate eligibility would be nice. Would still be a nice get as a transfer, but we need another guard (or 2 or 3) for this year.

He's seeking a waiver. I really don't like that he's going to Iowa State right after UC though. They make me uneasy.

Would love to get a guy like Bolton or Moss. Then Todd or Williams. I still love the Maidoh kid. If we could get 3 guys like that I would be okay with waiting until 2020 on the rest. If Cumberland goes...maybe add another wing if there is a good fit.

Maybe play with 11 roster spots this year and build some relationships for the 2020 class to get it to 13. We may even see another transfer or two after this year depending on what the guys see as their role on the team after a year with CJB.
