Just don't see this happening


Feels like Muss is of the mindset with Smith 'great if you come here, but we' re not holding up our efforts elsewhere. We'll just go get someone just as good out of state who really wants to be here.'

Hope he goes outside SEC if not a Hog. Kansas, Georgetown, OU.

Noticed as of now OU is his last visit Sept 17th. Ark is Sept 10th.

Recently started thinking about the roster outlook and beyond.

Doesn't seem like we are actively looking for a transfer atm. Would be nice to add depth on the front court and we are good to go. Needs to be a senior for roster spots next year.

At the moment, we should have at least 6 spots open next year. I would guess 7 or 8 when you consider at least one or two will transfer/leave early just because that is how it works now. Looks like we will bring in a class of at least 5 when you consider who we have and who we are likely to add.

With the way that Muss can use the portal, its almost a must to have at least a couple of spots available to use.

Love the way the roster is being set up now and in the future.

I see us targeting a sharpshooter guard/wing transfer since we're losing a lot of scoring in Lykes, Notae, and Umude. KK should have the PG position locked down after Lykes leaves, and the high school class should be stocked with big men if we land Walsh and Ware to go along with Dunning. I guess we could use a backup PG too but Devo could get by there in a pinch and not many transfers would come here for a backup role.

I don't see Vanover contributing much this year so might be a good idea for him to use a grad transfer somewhere else which would give us another spot to work with. So in the end we should be using 5-6 on HS kids and 1-2 on transfers - opposite of how Muss usually works but still should be a really good infusion of talent either way.

Top 4 for Keith Williams from Cincy but wonder if we are just a school included or actively going after

First I've heard of him and us but also been busy and not keeping up as much.

Guess we could've gotten more serious in the last 24-48 hours after learning of Obanor's decision.

Alot of things will probably be determined by how Devo develops as a player. He was getting many scout eyes on him towards the end of the year.

Kind of surprised he stayed after last year. He does provide value in situation spots still but yeah don't see him staying again if the trend for him continues.

Sounds like we will get good news on Walsh within the next few weeks or so, should be getting another bump on 247 as well.

Picking up Walsh and Ware would put us at 66.60 team score on 247. That is 5 points higer than the current number 1 team in UNC (obviously that will change).

Thats almost 2 points higher from the great class in 2020.

So now it seems like all the Nick Smith rumors are pointing to Kentucky.

Losing Smith is nowhere as big of a deal as losing Walsh and Ware, and Walsh isn't even an instate guy.

Sucks to always lose anyone of Nick Smith's caliber from the state but Walsh is almost the perfect type of player for Muss' system.

Walsh's ceiling is through the roof if he keeps working on his shot.
