So what's the point of the staff going after someone like Anselem and not going after someone like Cliff O who if given the opportunity probably would be here. Just from what I've read and seen, Cliff seems like a high character kid, knows what he is and has no interest in playing on perimeter like many big men are nowadays. I'm not sure if you can speak on to why they backed off, but given that they expected the whole frontcourt to leave why not go after a positional need? Just hasn't made any sense to me as to why we're in this situation in the first place.
Now, we very well could get a transfer that's a lot better than any of the possibilities that have been mentioned and makes all of us forget about these past few weeks. My pipe dream is Dante, and to think what he could turn into with Cal/Payne makes me go crazy that he's not here. Reminds me a lot of Embiid, and would be just an absolute perfect fit for next year's team. Not expecting it though as it seems that ship has sailed.
I'm just not liking this grad transfer option to fill a glaring hole. A Reid Travis, All-Conference player, doesn't come available every year and it just seems very risky to me.
Hoping they can get a 5 that can be more than serviceable for next year's team because I am super high on what Boston/Clarke and the backcourt in general can become. I would hate to waste two of the most talented players that could ever come through here.
