My impression is that if Shaver is all in on next year he’ll look for a grad transfer big man. Knight needs a backup badly and if Harvey isn’t able to beat out Rowley for minutes in the post this year, it suggests he has has a long way to go. (Still love his potential.)

OTOH, I think of Shaver as a program builder and I think he’ll shoot for a player who has eligibility in 20-21 and perhaps beyond.

I am interested in the thinking of those who believe that a Freshman PG wcould help us more in 19-20 than another interior player would. Loewe is progressing and Scott was showing potential before he was hurt. It would have to be a remarkable recruit to come in as a freshman and outplay those guys.

I think it all depends on what kind of identity Tony wants the team to have. If he wants the run and gun high flying seasons of the last few years (I'd say last 3) then we need a quick, pass first PG. If he's content with a more defensive, interior based team like we've morphed into this season then I say get the back up big.

Both are good options imo.
