I do NOT believe we've spoken with Jack Wetzel. YET.

I DO believe we have contacted Mike Saunders Jr.

I have CONFIRMED that we have contacted Justin King.

Well range certainly doesn’t seem to be an issue! My goodness.

It looks like Hausen would be a really good pick up.

Did Smith recruit this guy to South Dakota? Would be a dream, but I assume he goes high major with his stat line.

Yes he did.

Wow that would be a nice guy to plug in on the wing. How good can be shoot it?

35.5% last season on 4.4 attempts per game, a hair lower than that for his career on lower volume.

A three is a good shot for him from an analytics standpoint.

I think he would have played his freshman season at South Dakota under Smith. Haven't watched him play, but I'd take a 3 time all league guy. Any word on if we're interested and vice versa?

I’m sure we’d be interested. The question is what is he looking for? Gonna have high level interest. He is from Texas. Probably have at least a few Texas p5 schools interested. But maybe smith can pull one out here. Mooney may have ended up here if he didn’t believe it would be such a rebuild.

A quick look at some highlights of his...he's a bucket. Would help us tremendously. Versatile wing/forward. The exact kind of positionless scorer we should be going after.

Sorry, but Umude just screams P5 transfer to me. I'm pretty confident this kid ends up at a big school.

Does he want to be a role player at a P5 or the offensive star at a high mid major, that had 2 NBA draft picks the previous 2 seasons? ;)

And this is exactly why Craig should aggressively pursue him

Throw in defensive stopper Marco, an improved Rollie at the point, bring in bomber Brock off the bench, and I think we have the pieces to make a run in the tourney next year. Can someone share this plan with Queta and Umede please.

It's funny at around the 2:20 mark, they run the double pick inbounds play for Umede that we've run for Bean that was so successful.

He may be the most sought after grad transfer in the whole country, so..... no chance I’d guess.
