"The Casper College men’s team proved they could play an entertaining brand of basketball with the scoreboard acting like a pinball machine. Eventual Region IX champion Gillette College had a talented guy in Kavel Bigby-Williams but the T-Birds have nothing to be ashamed of for their effort this season."
Bigby-Williams is a double double guy and tops in the JC for blocks and rebounds. Mizzou, Neberska, Wyoming are hitting hard. The Aztecs looked him up while they were in Laramie, at 6'10 225 he's a legit 5.

6'9 255 PF/C Dylan Osetkowski is leaving Tulane, big time NCAA talent. 32 mpg, 11 ppg, 8 rbg. Big man in the middle. Home town, San Diego CA. HS: J Serra, San Juan Capistrano. He has two years left and grew up in So Cal. A double-double guy all year long at Tulane, leading the team in games, minutes, and boards, second in scoring. Low post presence. With Tulane’s spring break starting this weekend, Osetkowski will return home to San Juan Capistrano and start planning his future. www.tulanegreenwave.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/dylan_osetkowski_921785.html |

Osetkowski, HELLO. He may take us out of the running for someone like Brandon McCoy, but so far he's the transfer that interests me the most. Fills a need, let's Nolan Narain shift to the 4 which seems like his more natural position, he's a local kid, and it would be part 2 of that Tulane transfer big pipeline. Fish and co. just need to show him how well Josh Davis did here, ha. Too bad this kid isn't eligible next season, would've been a match made in heaven.
We have a lot of backcourt depth next year, I would love to see our 2 available scholarships go to this kid and a grad transfer big, a la the offseason of Davis and Chol.

Not interested in Osetkowski, guy seems like a 4 man, he averaged .5 blocks in 32 minutes last year. Hell the Washington center who has barely played is more intriguing (not that I am very interested in him either).

There are going to be hundreds of transfers out there by mid April .So unless some one leaves the Aztecs . We only have 2 scholarships remaining for 2016 -17 season . Major need is a guy that plays the 5 . Focus on that first , not easy but it is the goal . So go "dig" a few up - avoid the other temptations . Agree with Stan. No reason to post every single transfer every day there is one. Seriously, why even mention WSU had 2? Both will step down to D2. Believe Goodwin of ESPN tracks them all within 1 link eventually, which is more than enough. If there's some big desire to list a ton of them, at least center it around grad transfer bigs and then any other transfer who we may legitimately consider. |

Me thunks we will be ok with current crop at #'s 1-2-3 #1= Hemsley, #2=Kell, #3 Gill-Caesar (Kell can spell Hemsley and Gill-Caesar can spell Kell at #2). Slide in Nolan Narain,Jalen McDaniels and Malik Pope as your #4's and we have some guns for sure. See, I even forgot about Z, and he is def in the mix.
It all depends on what the coaches want to do, get a true #5 or run 2 #4's around. If they want a true #5, get one out of high school or from JC with multi years left. Leonard Allen comes to mind, if he has the game per coaches evaluations. The guy is 7'0" and 205-210, will need to eat for a solid year so he doesn't break. Needs to be at 225-235 and add even more. Maybe run 2-#4's for a year? Think we are good at guard for a couple years.....so unless the next Magic Johnson happens along......Get me some Beefy quick bigs!
EDIT: And I love BIG GUARDS! Hemsley 6'4", Kell 6'4-5" 210 and Montaque Gill-Caesar 6'6" 215.......Loves me some BIG guards! Seems to moi, big guards finish better than small guards when it gets rough and tumble going to the rim.

In what you describe, Baller, I think we'll see 2 "4s" on the court in lieu of anyone in the Spencer/Chol "5" type of role. So, take your pick from Z, Narain, McDaniels, and Hoetzel. Pope may also see some time at a "4" if he's on the court with Hemsley, Kell, & Gill-Caesar. Of course, I still wouldn't mind adding another big, however.

Z/Pope/McD & Max can all play the 4, and NN/MP/Z will play at the 5, or double 4's as you note. We should be fine w/o anyone, but if we can upgrade that'd be huge.
I think the coaches are simply looking for an athletic big, which fits our profile. Not a prodding 5. Definitely 1st choice is a ready-made grad transfer who can step in right away, or an elite JC (e.g. a Boucher at Oregon) who can do the same. Most JC guys, like Allen, will take a couple years to develop, and our objective isn't necessarily to have someone in 2017/2018. We really want someone ready to fit in the rotation right away.

Seems like a lineup much like the Billy White, Malcolm Thomas years. 2 big men that can pogo stick, have good post moves, rebound, and can step out and hit from 3 range. Pope is definitely a much more deadly shooter from outside. Definitely wouldn't mind if they found a big man that can sub in (like a Carlwell) to help inside against teams with bigger centers. |

I've followed Isabell for years - he was a WSU commit before having a run-in with Ernie Kent. He's a terrific offensive talent - a product of the Garfield HS line, and his stats at Missouri do not reflect his talent. He & Anderson have been butting heads since he got there, which has hurt his PT. His game is much like Hemsley's - gets the basket very well. On the right team he's a guy who can put up 15+ a night. He put up 17 against Texas A&M's guards.
I'd worry about 2 things with him (& ANY Missou transfer) - you have to teach him team D big time (below average team defender), and the discipline issues. They've ALL been suspended at some point in time. Could be the coach, but usually there's blame on both sides. A new environment could change all that though (like MCG).
I don't see him as a viable candidate here - my guess is he ends up closer to the NW, or somewhere which plays more uptempo.

Funny thing with Isabel, yes he is just 6 feet, but it is hard to have 1 career block in 861 minutes. Either way no way am I interested in him.

only 2 scholarships remaining for 2016 , so keep the transfer list short guys that play the 5 ?
Next year's team - is that a post for the regular section.? Premise ? OOC schedule is even more important then MW schedule . So need to be ready to play the games to win . Roster as always coaches recruit guys that can play various positions .
Guards 6: variety of options ; Trey , JH , are they starters ? Dakari - lock down defender . MG-C rumors he was one of the best players this year before his injury . Matt spot shooter . D.Williams PG reserve ?
Forwards 6 - same thing variety of options : Malik , Zylan , Dakari , MG-C , Max , Jaylen ( RS ?),
5 position 2- Major ??'s Nolan and Zylan ? Nolan freshman in 2016 ,red shirting this year, was a 4 in HS learning the 5 position. But could be the best shooting 5 we have had by the time he is done - but is a Freshman next year.Zylan would have to learn the 5 also . So this is main reason to look at the 5 position for scholarship #12 and not have hundreds of guys on the transfer list that play the other positions but Not the 5 position . " Dig " stay focused .
Variety of guys , coaches could do a variety of styles of play - depending on the style of play , match ups . But it will be important to get it together early for OOC .

Love all me Aztecs! I just like to have a BIG,QUICK AND HEFTY young lad to slap it away or to another team mate when they do get past their defender and near the rim. It has worked well with Sky! |

I'd happily take on Namon Wright. He could sit out a year and then take Shrigley's spot. A proven talent who will have practiced with the team for a year.
Biggest priority is a shot blocker.

Biggest priority is a center that can score the basketball.When your 7ft shot blocking and altering shots is a given.Look at what Carwell could do at 6-11 and his feet never left the floor. |
