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??

Anybody else got a wishlist? Here's mine to fill in the remaining spots. Jasai Miles Tayton Conerway Elyjah Freeman Duke Brennan Emeka Opurum Liutauras Lelevicius or Tyrell Ward

Bobby--Sherron-and now Lamar. Love me some Wilkersons!

And a new name on Coach Adragna's off season tracker 6'7" guard from Oregon State via Lithuania-Liutauras Lelevicius. Got to have a Lithuianian on board.

Come on Tayton you're next.

I would take conerway over Malik Mack all day long. And Conerway fits the coaches profile perfectly, elite defender and distributer.

OK, you got me who is TMR that is visiting with Conerway on Sunday?

Why? did he commit somewhere else? Figured we were working on bigger fish but would offer him at some point.

lets go for Robert Wright and pair him with Enright and we are set at point guard. Then we need a couple of athletic bigs/rebounders/rim protectors. Add some high schoolers for depth and development and of course Elyjah Freeman as the athletic wing. That could be one helluva roster.

Elyjah Freeman come on down
