Reminds me a little of another former OU post from Port Arthur, Texas...Bryan Sallier. Sallier was about 6'8" 260 lbs...so not quite as wide...but was a bull in the post...and was one of my favorite Sooners back in the day!

Looks like there is some stiff competition to get him, but at least we are reaching out! He would be a great addition.
 
Really need some beef around the basket. A strong banger, muscle guy.
Certainly lacking on this years team.

Yeah, a strong inside guy on the blocks sounds really nice, but keep in mind, that style of big man doesn't really fit Moser's offensive schemes of five out/high post sets. Even a guy like Krutwig at Loyola, who was a big body inside, could step out and hit the shot or three, and pass efficiently from the wing or high post.

A guy like Tanner Groves or Ryan Spangler is more of a fit than Tayshawn Thomas, or a name mentioned earlier, Bryan Sallier. Tanner, in size and position, fits Moser's offense well, we just need him to be more physical and aggressive when in the paint.

In conference play, he played more like a stretch 4 than a C and he's not near athletic enough to play the 4.

Krutwig was a very good passer out of the high post but he was not a shooter at all ..

he took 3 3's in his college career and none in the last 2 seasons ..


he was an in the paint scorer ..

He was great in the pick and roll and cuts off motion.

Maybe we can get Bacot to transfer here (clearly joking). I mean, I would love to have the player of the Tournament on this team. Unlike some of us.

In the paint maybe as all around the paint. My point is he was more Jokic/Embiid, where he's catching the ball face up as much/more than just dumping the ball down low, ala Shaq or Ewing.

Here is a scouting report quote when they played in the NCAAs
"Loyola uses the 250-pound Krutwig similar to Moses Wright, stationing him either at the top of the key or in the high post extended area. He takes 30.5 percent of his team’s shots, making him the highest-usage player Georgia Tech has faced all season. He has smooth feet, doesn’t get rushed, and uses his body well to create angles for his left-handed shot. He’s also a gifted passer, with a vaguely Jokic-esque ability to lead teammates off cuts."

Moser's offense for centers is more Jokic than Shaq.
 
Not huge news but Samuell Williamson committed to SMU. More relevant to Tulsa fans (TU was after him), lol, but it's a known name from the past.

I think T. Groves and Krutwig were used in very similar ways, the main difference being T. Groves was used from the top of the key b/c he had the range to shoot it from there, and Krutwig was used more from the FT line area. They were asked to do very similar things, just from slightly different parts of the court.

This is where Moser has to cater his philosophy around the talent he brings in. You can’t bring in bums based on being able to have some skills as a stretch 5.

it would be a massive upset / shock to have anyone other than Tanner start at C

agreed. people will want some instant improvement there, but our best chance to improve is getting Groves bros in the gym and gearing up after a full S&C offseason
