Interesting quote from Howland

[Brad Stevens]

"We're still obviously hoping to pick up some other players and we'll see what happens there, but I already feel like with the addition of Malik that we became a lot better as a team immediately."

We all know of Kasongo being another potential player, but does anyone have any information about another potential player or two? This is the first I have heard of potentially more than one target remaining for this year.

Are we still recruiting dixson?

Maybe he's talking about next season

[Quaoarsking]

There's 4 uncommitted players in the 247 Top 10, but no more in the top 50. There's 5 more uncommitted in to the 51-100 range.

The only one of those 9 who even lists as a possibility (although as "None" in the interest column -- not even "Cool") is Tevin Mack (http://247sports.com/Recruitment/Tevin-Mack-36041/RecruitInterests)

Durand Johnson, possibly. Transfer from Pitt.

Immediate or does he have to sit?

If kasongo falls thru, I hope we have a backup big man

[C222]

He's eligible immediately.

I don't see Kasongo falling through. Still feel very good about him.

You're reputation precedes you, so I'll trust your judgement. I am nervous about kasongo though

We are absolutely looking to see if there is someone else we can add to improve the roster- may not happen, but our guys are absolutely looking at different options.

To my original question - do you have any insight into who that may be? I would hope it would be another big man.

[Goat from MSU]

Durand Johnson, And as far as insight remember 34 had us keeping Ray,Better ask Ifyoyonlyknew.

Too bad NCAA don't let them name names until they are committed.

I read the other day we are being considered for a transfer player. It was some sort of top 20 transfer players in college. Didn't get his name though.
