We need another big but just a 2nd one off the bench that'll give us 8-10 minutes a game. Finding someone in the portal both good enough to play and comfortable with that limited a role is probably a challenge though.



6'7 big from Brazil just transferred from Baylor, she was a top 50 recruit coming from Montverde HS in Florida (where all kinda of top hs talents transfer to). Issue is she is incredibly raw but she is mobile at least

I'm kind of running out of ideas granted I dont know every single post/forward portal entry and what is available at the JUCO/international level

Isnelle Natabou from Iowa State is still available as a grad transfer. 6’5 and averaged 4.5 points and 3.7 boards in just under 12 minutes per game last season.

Also Tionna Herron from Texas. I believe she was high school teammates with Samyah Smith. She had open heart surgery two years ago when she signed at Kentucky and didn’t play. She played in 11 games last season at Texas for her official freshman season. I’m wondering if she was limited because of the surgery or just getting back into shape after such a serious procedure.

Yep, just need one tall (6'-4" or taller) post preferably for rebounds and/or shot-blocking/altering but mainly for depth/injury insurance, foul trouble & situational matchup flexibility. Kim would then have the option to play small ball or man-up without fatigue against teams with true Bigs.

I've noticed over my one full year of watching wcbkb that even the tall projects consistently contribute a couple of blocks or rebounds in limited minutes, simply due to their natural length, no matter how raw they are or what level they are coming from. That one rebound or shot block can make a difference in close conference games. I'll take a tall project.
