Last I saw last week was he was asking for substantial money! Much needed big man!!

 

[Popoke]

He visited a couple of weeks ago with Wesley Yates.

He asked for an absurd amount from Xavier, was told to pound sand and that it would be best to transfer.

Nice sources on that one.

I think we just got our starting big man…. Waiting on confirmation

It is not, but we got our Point Guard. Khalil Brantley

That would be out of left field, as we were not in his top 3.

I couldn’t believe it either, but confirmed that is who it is.

Crowded guard room must have spooked him. Best of luck to him.

Yeah, I was wondering the other day how the returning guards and Johnson felt about all the transfer guards. I guess now we know.

 

[PokeBloke]

Been pretty quiet the last few weeks. Haven’t seen much visiting by coaches or any info on Yates etc. Anyone know where we stand and who new targets might be??

Several OSU sites reporting HS PF prospect Sammie Yeanay is taking a visit. He is 6'8", 230 lbs and had previously committed to Arizona State.

Sammie Yeanay, Compass Prep , Power Forward

Sammie Yeanay is a 6-8, 230-pound Power Forward from Gainesville, FL.

A 6'8" 230 PF is very much needed even if he is a High School guy. He would be the 2nd biggest player on the team.

Wesley Yates committed to southern cal. On paper, it does not seem that we have opened much of the NIL bag. With only three openings, we obviously need a couple bigs. Is anyone else underwhelmed thus far?

I hope that the fact that Lutz played a key role in bringing Edey to Purdue, another international big man, and Edey proceeding to win Player of the Year, gives Lutz a great deal of credibility with this recruit.

I can't help but think that Lutz doesn't exactly have deep pockets to draw from concerning NIL. Merely speculation though.

I am actually quite intrigued with the transfers he has brought in. He has brought in a lot of guys who have played a lot of minutes and won a lot of games. Maybe no superstar talents, but a DEEP roster of guys that can and should make a significant impact on winning games. It seems Lutz is bringing in a group of guys that are going to change the culture around OSU basketball and I think that is sorely needed. If he can get them to buy in to the culture he seems to be trying to create, I think a relatively minor talent deficiency can be overcome and Lutz can win a lot of games.
