Bielfeldt. He fell out of their starting rotation but I think he was still getting minutes. Like I am fine with going out and getting the best you can obviously, but you need a big and from there I get two guys who I can maybe develop. One thing that is different from years past is that most of these guys in the 11 to 13 spot are usually one and done at their school. Go get best available in a reasonable price range, but I am not dumping a bunch of resources on them. Not when we have a football team to support now too.

Yeah, but being realistic, you don't get that level of player for spots 11-13. If you absorb enough injuries that you are playing 11 through 13 on your roster, your season is already wrecked. I think you get one more serviceable big that you pray never needs to go in for more than 5 minutes in a game, ever (and that is only when you are winning by like 40) and then with the last two I would get younger, raw guys that have potential to develop if they stay in your program. Our main rotation is already on the team IMO.

We will probably hit the bargain bin after other teams fill out more and the gys that are left get a reasonable handle on their value.

I leave the board to eat dinner and am gone for like an hour and boom. It is like Christmas around here.

2 back up bigs, a combo guard, and a shooting wing.

Choosing to see this with rose colored glasses...I think we hit on quite a few of our plan A guys and now that the Plan B guys are hearing that, they are eliminating us because we no longer have to offer what they want (guaranteed starting spots).

Got our center, just need Sherrill to commit and we have a solid starting 5 with some room to add bench depth.

This is where I have him talk with our new, former NBA front office guy and have him give a no nonsense assessment of what he needs to do to get to the league. I would have that happen with every player at the beginning of each season.

I think if you are choosing between Reibe and Tiller it is almost an offense or defense question. Tiller and Sherrell would be a pretty imposing front court from a defensive standpoint. I think they both have over 1 block per game averages. I think you have to go back to Jefferies and Newton to find a similar one-two defensive punch for us (unless I am missing a pair from the wasteland between here and there).

For a program that used to (barely) run in the black without one, football getting good is a huge economic boon to the athletic department.

I would get a combo guard, a wing, and 3 bigs. Hopefully Moody can give you some minutes as a back up guard.

I think there are other guys they may have kept but they decided playing time or money wasn't here (like Dorn).

We had a bunch of seniors and then guys who weren't likely to be ones that could get it done here.

I'd like the Moody to get about 7 to 10 minutes a game if capable.
