Is Trilly saying anything about weekend visits or a timeline for any of the bigs we have contacted ie Federico Federico, Baba Miller, Robert Miller, Stephon Payne III, or Leo Curtis? Was expecting intel from somewhere by now.

Is he still on campus? Sticking around for Little 500 weekend?

Great news!! Welcome aboard Nick.

Why can't we get one of those Eastern European guys?

Would rather have Nick Dorn if we are taking another guard/wing. Two years of eligibility and not as ball dominant . What about weekend visits? When are the bigs coming?

I really do think they would compliment each other. Federico is the rebounding rim protector lob threat and Miller is the skilled big/wing who can shoot and pass and run the floor. Would love to get both.

Thought we were suppose to get visits this week(says the spoiled, impatient Hoosier fan). Are they waiting for Little 500 weekend?

Let's get Baba Miller on campus and make it happen. Can you imagine adding Miller, Federico, and Curtis to what we've already got. Throw in a couple of high school kids like Dezmon Briscoe or Darius Adams. WOW

@Demo, just curious, what are your thoughts on Baba Miller? Originally from Spain, seems highly skilled and very athletic and yet has underperformed for 2 years at FSU and one year at FAU. Could Coach Devries unlock the potential or is he too me first and not worth taking a chance. I respect your talent evaluation skills. @Demo

If I had to guess right now I would say: Shay Lenee Phoenix Makalusky Big Z

Not sure where to put this but just curious. Do we have anyone on the look out for foreign bigs. There seems to be a huge influx of international players joining the college ranks due to NIL $$$. Maybe one who is 7' 0" and rebound ,block shots and rim run.

How about by the end of the day.

That would be Mr. Cody Zeller.

FYI its Federico Federico-Fedy two times

And he would pair nicely with Leo Curtis as our 2 bigs. add a rugged power forward type and our frontcourt is set. Any updates on Mr. Curtis? Are we showing interest, setting up a visit?

wow so Nate Ament And Elyjah Freeman Vols are loading up.

No new commits?! Man did we get spoiled last week. With Elyjah Freeman off the board lets take the money we had allotted for him and throw an even bigger bag at Moustapha Thiam and get him in Bloomington. Then add Kimani Hamilton, Jaiden Glover, Leo Curtis and a couple of high school kids and call it a day. What say you?? Enough talk of doughnuts.

So how realistic is it that we get a commitment from Moustapha Thiam? He is clearly the best center out there by far. Apparently Cincinnati is going to hire his mentor and assistant coach Mamadou N'diaye but they haven't done it yet. I just checked their staff on line and he is not listed and is still showing on the UCF staff. He is from Senegal as is Thiam and has recruited several kids from that area to UCF. Would he be a bad hire to round out our staff and get Thiam on board? Seems to be good at developing big guys and has a pipeline to additional African prospects. What's not to like? Hire him and throw a large bag at Thiam and let's go! Would so enjoy seeing Thiam rejecting TKR and Jacobson.

I guess I meant can he play with Baily and Tucker and the rest our lineup and not clog things up. would he expect 30-35 minutes per game.

Would he fit with the rest of the roster? Definitely talented and would hold his own with the rest of the Big Ten bigs. I'll leave this one for coach to decide. Great to see us mentioned though. And oh yeah Thomas Sorber would be perfect but my guess is he stays in the draft.

I love what coach has done with the roster so far. C0mplimentery pieces and a real team with real shooters. But we have to get some size to deal with the bigs from Purdue and Michigan State and Illinois and Michigan. The guy I wanted Duke Brennan is off the board to Villanova. Hope Coach Devries has something up his sleeve or maybe Kenny Johnson can get us Mustapha Thiam.

I imagine things will slow down for awhile with Easter weekend upon us. Would think Coach Devries is exhausted and could use a short break and hit the ground running on Monday. That said we still have some serious needs and a roster to fill out. Lots of good players still out there so lets take a look. Physical Banger Big--Duke Brennan, Ante Brzovic, Kimani Hamilton Backup 2 Guard- Alex Chaikin, Bryce Lindsey, Dylan Darling, Liutauras Lelevicius Additional Wing-Kevin Overton, Elyjah Freeman, Tyrell Ward Developmental Big--Khaman Maker, Malcolm Thomas High School Guys-Nyk Lewis, Braydon Hawthorne, Trent McLean, Dezmon Briscoe, Tre Singleton

Did a little digging on this kid. He is a defensive minded high flyer . Did not play for Villanova last season so I assume he redshirted, Maybe Kenny can pull him to Bloomington. Probably 4 years of eligibility. Interesting depth piece.

does anyone know if Coach Devries wants Luke Goode on the roster if/when he gets his waiver?

So is the Conerway committment official or not??
