Xavier has landed Gardner Webb grad transfer Nate Johnson, per source.

6-3, 180, SG
Stats: 13.5 ppg

Scout’s take: “big-time shooter who worked to make himself a good shooter. Really developed in his time at Gardner-Webb. I think he’s a specialist at the high major level.”

I'm not disappointed MU didn't land him(prefer Turner and Carton), don't really like he's going to a BE opponent, BUT on the plus side this likely takes them out of consideration for Justin Turner.

Wishlist for this spring (in no particular order - I will gladly take 2 of the 4):
1. Carton (immediately eligible with waiver & 3 yrs remaining)
2. Mane (hoping he stays 2 yrs or longer)
3. Turner (grad transfer 1 yr remaining)
4. Immediately eligible 5.

Solid but not elite pickup for them.  Had him just inside my top 20 available grad transfers

I concur with this except for me..Alan Griffin is at the top of the list...it's very close between him and Carton for me..Carton has one more year to play so I'd likely give the slight edge to him. But I wouldn't quibble over either one. I will take it a step further and say the MUST get 2 of those 5 or it's going to be a real struggle. I'd love both Griffin and Carton, but that's unlikely, but with either one of those and Turner and I'd be happy.

Vegas has MU at 15 Wins Next Year with our current roster. Hope we can grab a Guard or two and a Center to get us to 20 plus Wins as far as Vegas is concerned. That said the Program is back and has been back a couple years, but we have to play well yet obviously. Go Marquette!

Do not know Marquette Vegas number last year

Time for ISU to let us have a transfer, MU has given them enough already

Agree it would be nice of VJS to stay out of it :)

Former American center and grad transfer Mark Gasperini tells me UMass, Wake Forest, Northeastern, Hawaii and Marquette have shown the most interest in him so far. 6-10 big averaged 8.9 points and 5.1 rebounds per game last year. @MarkGasperini

Didn't you say that we MUST get Garcia and if we did, it would be a program-changer?

Which one do you mean?  Quite the net our hero has casted.  Carton would be an excellent addition.  The others, color me highly skeptical after Morrow, Chartouny, and McEwen 😬

I love that we’re already crying about the kid(s) we haven’t even landed yet.

Some people just need to complain in order to be happy.

Yes, but three grad transfer just entered the portal in the past couple of days that I think Borzello would have ranked higher than Johnson.

Yeah I'm not sure why they are even interested in this kid...He's a body at best. I realize they could use a back up to Theo, but they didn't even show interest in Marfo(who's better than Theo), and even Markusson wouldn't be bad based on his size alone, but they didn't express interest in him either. Baffling why they are interested in Gasperini,

Obviously you don't understand that a "program changer" doesn't necessarily mean his Freshman year, but more future years and the impact it will have on recruiting. Without Carton and/or Griffin and/or Hunter, it's going to be struggle next year. 2 of those 3 would help immensely. I wouldn't expect you to "get" that though. You're used to distorting facts to fit a narrative.

It seems like if they are going to grab a grad transfer big, it is going to be a true 5 rather than a 4 who can play the 5. Which makes some sense, given that we have so many players who could play the 4. Sadly, Gasperini may be the third best on the market in this category. Markusson, who you mentioned, and Jock Perry are the only other two that I think might be better.

Marfo is a conundrum to me. He's a bit undersized, an ELITE rebounder, a poor offensive post, and a meh post defender. You take him for his rebounding but I'm not sure what other value he'll bring to TAMU. We're talking about a guy with worse offensive efficiency and B% than Theo despite playing against much weaker competition. I'd absolutely take him to pair him with Theo, but I'm not convinced he'd be the starter over Theo.

Yes, this guy would be Chartouny II.  He wasn’t a very good Patriot League player.  Little to no improvement in three years looking at his numbers.

I mean, I get they may not want to tie up the scholarship for 4 years, but if this is what they want for a back up 5, you could find just as good or better I'd think throwing out a scholly to a project big that's still out there for 4 years.

I strongly advocate Buzz’s approach to roster building, in that you just simply try to find guys who can play, and who are versatile.  Positions will sort themselves out once the team is practicing and playing together.  You obviously can’t recruit a bunch of 5’11- 6’2 players, but follow this model within reason.  The square peg/ round hole never works well.
