Let's hope the we can pull a few more players via the portal that can bang inside otherwise we'll be in a little trouble. Berke couldn't be counted on to score much most nights but at least he would hold his own fighting for the rebound. As for Leo, the staff had better be shadowing that kid daily working on increasing his calories, weight training and basic basketball skills inside. He is the definition of a project. Not sure if our training table has it but maybe they could fly in some of Leo's favorites from Iceland like Hakarl (Fermented shark) and Pylsur (icelandic hot dog).

Getting a little worried we might have to settle for some lesser options in the transfer portal. It seems pretty quiet. The big guy from Boise and the Point Guard from Utah both left without committing and are taking other visits.

People keep saying he needs to add weight. He is 10 lbs lighter and 1" shorter than Mara. Mara is the darling of CBB right now and I haven't heard one person say Mara needs to bulk up. Curtis never looked like he didn't belong, which is quite a feat for a freshman big man in the Big 10. He just needs experience, like most freshman.

Agree on Berke.

Really like the Boise guy. I don't know what to think of the Utah guy.

It will be interesting to see if B1G teams counter the Michigan recruiting to bring in BIG kids who are physical and can jump, maybe not great shooters but they wear you down. That was our weakness last year, inside power game.
