I hope we at least call Dickerson but I didn't think it made a lot of sense to add Dixson. We don't need another wing player.

That's just rumor at this point.

After White saying that "he's not going to beg anyone to stay", I think it would be pretty shitty to put terms on his release.

I hope that's the case and perhaps Dickerson is the mystery croot. But either way you've got to think the staff is confident in this guy.

Yeah Paul saying that we might hear something this weekend was unexpected.

We need another post player. We don't need another 3.

Howland said he wanted to add at least one more player this year and maybe two.

Gonna be interesting to see who gets the door if we do get 1 or 2 more players.

That ifyouonlyknew guy seems to think we cooled on Dixson and are pursuing someone else.

That guy seems to actually be right more than wrong so who knows.

Yeah there was a thread on the recruiting board a couple weeks ago and me and jumbo told an Alabama guy that, because we were his only visits left.

We're looking for a big man. Not really interested in Dixson. We've told him not to come on his visit twice now.

We're going after Caleb Swanigan. Obviously, it's going to take a ton of work, but that's the name right now.

I can't believe I just typed that.

That seems like a pipe dream. If Howland could pull that off...that would be insane.

So we couldn't seal the deal on Kasongo but we are going to swing Swanigan? I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

The two things aren't even comparable.

Swanigan comes in and is a day 1 starter, no questions asked.

Kasongo was worried that Daniels was going to start in front of him at the 4 and wasn't going to get the playing time he wanted. He was promised that at Tennessee, so he went there.

I'm not saying we're going to get him but to act like Howland couldn't "close" on Kasongo is reaching at best.

I don't claim to know the details of Kasongo's recruitment or what he was told by us or TN in terms of playing time. All I know is that he was our #1 inside target at the time and we thought we were getting him up until the day he signed with TN but we didn't.

I fully believe that Kasongo's handler is who messed that up for us.

Also, we are recruiting Swanigan hard, but he is a long shot at best and not the mystery recruit.

Agreed. I think there are at least two other names besides Swanigan, but you know how Paul is. He keeps those names under wraps.

Who is Swanigan and why has he not signed with someone already?
