MBB Transfer Portal Thread: Moser Year 4

On Duke.




They'll be fine though. Flagg is going to be amazing.

They're about to add Maliq Brown (Syracuse). And obviously other portal kids soon enough.
 
What OU absolutely shouldn't do is be caught with their pants down on Garrison (and Pedulla for that matter).

Stall on Elvis. Tell him to wait on committing. Maybe a week or so. If he doesn't like it, you can find another kid with his talent.

Why? If you lose out on Garrison, that frees up more money. You could get better at the 2 spot.

They should have a list of 5+ other big men they'd target. Maybe they do. I have no idea who the next option would be, though.

This appears to be what Kentucky and Arkansas are doing with Garrison imo. If they don’t get Amari and ainoo, then they move to garrison and great

Having said that, with 5 openings, I guess it's okay to add Elvis. I just don't think he's good at all (as a starter). Dayton fans weren't sad to see him leave. He's like their guard version of Hugley and we're the Xavier in this scenario.

Anyway, if you add Elvis and/or Scott, I guess that's a little momentum. Then you can hopefully add Pedulla.

If you lose out on Garrison, use the $600K ish on two more GOOD players. Sadly, that may mean Godwin is the starting center. But if you get enough bucket getters on the perimeter, it could work.

We aren't making the tournament with Godwin as our starter, sorry.

I’m not sure how far along in his recruitment he is, but Justin Abson would be on that list for me. I know we’ve at least made social media contact with him. I believe Xavier, Michigan, & Georgia were involved and we can’t spend with Xavier or Michigan but can likely offer more PT.

I mean we almost did this year. I'm not going to sit here and say he's the guy we want starting. But, I don't think it's impossible he can be the starting center on a tourney team.

At least 80-90% people thought we were this year right up until the selection show started, so it's possible, but we're going to need to do a lot of work in the portal at other positions.

Anything is possible but I would put money on it.
 
Option 1

Pedulla/Forsythe
Elvis/Cooper
Scott/Cole/Atak
Moore/Northweather/Atak
Garrison/Godwin/Keita

You'd have one more scholarship to use. Another SF/SG type would make sense or an additional PG/SG type.

Option 2

Pedulla/Forsythe
transfer 2G/Elvis/Cooper
Scott/Cole/Atak
Moore/Northweather/Atak
Godwin/transfer big/Keita

This is a lot tougher because there's no way to know who OU would target at starting/backup C or 2G (or what they'd do altogether).

Cooper can play both 2 and 3. Scott could even kick down to the 4 at times. Northweather can be the C at times. Etc. There's some versatility in both lineups.
