Schwieger from Valparaiso has indicated that he's entering the portal. Very good PF option, and he's got 2 years left. Like Andrew Carr, he can also play Center - in fact I think I like him better at Center than Owen Freeman from Iowa (who looks like a pretty good Center option and entered the portal recently).
COOPER SCHWIEGER entering the Portal
- Thread starter G-PIP
- Start date
Same agent as Amari Williams.

Dude would look really good in our offense based on that vid. Thanks for sharing.
Yea, finally a tie to uk
Looks pretty mobile, scoring inside and outside
Still hoping pope can get a shot blocket
Yeah. I watched Valpo a lot last year. I worked in that area and they were always on tv.
Having Schwieger as a 2nd Unit guy would be awesome because I'm guessing that would mean that UK got another top portal PF in addition to him. But I think Schwieger is plenty good enough to start at PF (or even possibly Center) in the SEC.
IDK. Someone said he's kinda like Carr in that he could play C.
He is more fluid that Carr and seemed like a more aggressive rebounder.
He doesn't play above the square but he's athletic.
I think he would be a nice add.

This is overlooked by so many on this board
Guys that can play different positions are good additions
I think so, too. Plus, I'm not advocating that Schwieger is the best possible PF option that's going to be in the portal. In fact, I can think of 4 or 5 off the top of my head that I probably like better and there's going to be a ton more. But he's a good player and worth discussing, I believe, for those interested in talking portal options a little now.
From the perimeter Scwieger is exactly equal to Andrew Carr for all intents and purposes. Carr has shot 34.1% from 3 on 2.3 attempts per game. Scwieger has shot 33.0% on 2.9 attempts per game. Each of them has varied above and below their overall averages over individual seasons and even moreso within individual seasons. You’re going to have a hard time finding two players with results that are more similar than that in a meaningful way.
Tough to determine when moving up in competition, but plenty of others have made the jump successfully
Pretty good comparison, and Carr has been vital to uk's success
I like that he’s a sophomore. The one year rentals get old.
Anyone else notice HOW STRONG his wrists are? Holy mackeral. Weird release, stretches out shooting arm but it's the wrist flick that does ALL the work. With seemingly little effort. Smooth around the basket, too. I'd get this guy!
Thanks for sharing, GPip.
Would be a perfect back up PF/C to stretch the floor.

My thoughts exactly. I'm concerned about getting some shot blocking and defensive presence here.
Give me a bruiser who can crash boards and rip the rim off. To me, PF and PG are the two positions that need to be the most athletic.
I don't think he's good enough to be PF1.
The best of the best in the portal will probably also enter the draft like Robinson ,Lanier, etc.

And we think Otega has a hitch in his shot.. this guy makes Bill Cartwright's shot look good.
Lanier being a Nashville kid, I think UT knew where they stood with him as UK did with Robinson.
You can definitely get burned waiting for a guy to withdraw .
That was my concern, that hitch is worse than Oweh’s, not to mention a ton of P5 level players will transfer here shortly.
