As far as sit guys, are there any names out there? Someone threw out the FSU center that is looking to transfer. Seems to be some potential there and would be a sit out guy for this season. Anyone know if Wade and crew are on him any?
The guy who's still out there and I'd expect to hear something about him this week is Courtese Cooper.
Looks like that might be an LSU-Arkansas battle. We would probably jump hard on him now that White went elsewhere.
And he's a similar situation to White although he's a JUCO freshman rather than a grad transfer. He's got 3 years of eligibility left, so he could be a bench guy this coming year as he develops and then you could have two years of him being your 5.

Cooper to me wouldn't play much next year, but definitely beyond that if he develops some. Not a big deal since he has 3 years left. He's not going to be a polished player coming in like White would have been, also much skinnier at like 6'9 205...but he can jump out the gym for size, one of top JUCO shot blockers last season (107 blocks in 37 games), and still averaged 10pts, 7 boards. Also has some 3 point range which is a huge added bonus for any guy that tall that can protect the rim too, although he used it about as much as Reath did this past season, so don't expect much more than 1 attempt a game even when he's starting, but he's also his 1st year into school so that could develop even more over time. He shot 39% from three this past season which is decent but again was only 14 for 36 so very small sample size.

Is there confirmed interest from both sides?
