The #1 Objective this Offseason

Is to find the replacement to Josh Cunningham for after next season.

After next year Kostas is it in the post. Matej, Toppin & Mikesell aren't the type of guys to guard the future Tillmans on our schedule. Those 3 are combo forwards and even in position less basketball I don't think those guys will ever be able to consistently defend some of the more rugged post players on the schedule.

Pretty unlikely any move after this spring could land us a ready to play post player. A high school senior big man faces long odds of being able to come in and contribute right away. Good or even average grad transfer big men are a coveted commodity. JUCO big men are more miss than hit and every program in the country is after the few top prospects.

So that leaves us with this spring to get a guy who can be here a year before they're ready to play. The high school senior pool of bigs is small this time of year and highly fought over. Possible to find a diamond in the rough here and this staff has done it before.

Far and away the best option out of all the ones available is to get a sit out transfer, let them redshirt next year and then they're to get into the rotation right away. This in my estimation is the best chance of getting a contributor who's ready to step in for Cunningham.

If AG misses this spring we're not totally screwed but he's gotta have some aces up his sleeve in the fall signing period or next springs signing period.
