Yeah I really wanted him but knew it was going to be tough.

Meadow can slide between SF and PF. Compton can be a traditional PF or a small-ball C. Same could be said about Ariza, Spurlock, and Stewart too. Creates a lot of lineup versatility that Altman hasn't had in awhile.

This is true, lots of versatility.

It also seems like he focused on efficient shooters. All 3 of our transfer portal commits shot better FG% than our entire roster.


Also it seems like coaches are landing basically everyone who has visited so far. Chol and Page next?

I'm sure. Are the guys we've got so far better than Bittle or Shelstad? No way. But! Meadow and Riley would easily be better than our 4th best player from our roster last year.

I really do think we need one star go-to guy that is in the realm of Bittle/Shelstad level scoring. I know it's not likely to happen, but getting someone like Terrence Hill Jr. is vital to have a shot at the NCAA tournament.

Otherwise our team will look like a glorified Boise State, which just isn't enough IMO.

I would agree with this. So far the guys we got are good additions but aren’t big game changers for us in the Big Ten. We need 1 or 2 big time players if we really want to compete.

We can't add anyone yet, the transfer portal doesn't open until 4/7.

Technically, yes. But behind the scenes, we can talk to players agents and do a lot of work arounds. 247 is already reporting one player who is supposed to announce for portal soon is a heavy Ducks lean. So we might hear news on some names before 4/7.
