Cj fredricks also in the running for us. Us and uk. Probably a long shot but he could easily average 10 a game here.

You’d think, with the minutes we could offer, we’d be able to get a couple front court players that could give us 5 pts and 6 boards a game, and play decent defense.

Took words out my mouth. If they play minutes then guys did shouldn’t be that hard find replacements or better
 
Can you imagine, we get cj fredricks and tari? That would best case. Doubt we get one of them. Fun to dream
 
Didn’t know Fredricks was from Cincinnati. After we get tari back on board UC basketball needs to become State of Cincinnati

Ok, but who? Tre Mitchell, Emanuel Miller, and Nick Ongenda look like the only guys comparable to Tari as underclassmen, and there aren't a ton of comparable upperclassmen either. There aren't many options that give you the rim protection and rebounding that Tari does. I'm sure we can find some ok fillers for a year or two, but that's a downgrade. At BCN there is talk about juco Langston Wilson. He could be a good replacement.

If tari doesn’t want to come back, we have to move on. There are 1500 kids in the portal. I am sure there are a couple that can play. I don’t have names, haven’t went through all 1500 names but I’m sure there are 2-3 that are decent.

Here are the rim protectors: barttorvik.com/playerstat.php?link=y&sIndex=22&xvalue=trans

My point is we aren't going to upgrade or even replace Tari in the transfer portal. Nobody has his combination of blocks + steals and rebounding. Obviously we will have to bring in several guys who are decent, whether he stays or not.

Nerlens Noel was the only other freshman to have Tari's block and steal rate (i guess since they started tracking those stats).

You don't really just replace a guy like that.
 
It seems like UC is the best situation for Tari outside of if he wants to stay close to home. Playing time. Save his free transfer. Fired up new coach.

Ongenda is right there with him as a sophomore. Good finisher at the rim too. Tre Mitchell and Emanuel Miller (also sophomores) give you better offense but worse blocks/rebounding. There are a handful of seniors too. After that you're looking at clear downgrades. I really hope Tari stays.

Imagine Tari with the sophomore jump though. I sure hope its in a UC jersey.
