re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

He's probably the best realistic add we could make at this point. Would be a complete game changer defensively.

I'd love to see us add Big Z because I think he'd be an unreal two-way fit for us and was criminally underused by Cal, but I suspect he'll follow Cal despite that.

Would love to get Omoruyi. A rotation of him & Sherrell at the 5 spot would be a massive upgrade over Pringle & Wague. We all know how much our frontcourt was an Achilles heel for us. I have no doubt that Oats will find a way to address that. Omoruyi would change our outlook immediately.

Now in my Alabama Basketball Fantasy Land, the guy I'm holding out hope for is Ryan Kalkbrenner. He still has a covid year left, and hasn't decided about using it or going pro. He's not super high on most mock drafts, and maybe he'll feel like he's done all he can do at Creighton. He's worked a bit on his 3 point shooting game, but we could certainly help him improve there. And he shores up every weakness we have around the basket. Adding Kalkbrenner & bringing Sears back would instantly make us the National Title favorites imo.

That's just a pipe dream though. I have know idea what his future intentions are. He probably won't transfer if he comes back, and he'd require a substantial NIL deal if he did. But if we were ever going to get into the tampering game with this new portal, I'd love to have someone in his ear right now.
