It's likely we're going to finish with this Tolu Smith kid who's transferring from Western Kentucky.

He's a decent get as a program player in the post. He's atetic and developable, and you can't coach 6-11, 250.

Elbert Robinson proved that.

Elbert Robinson was anything but athletic. He was way over 250 too.

Robertson was 7ft 320lb. Never had anything close to a basketball body. This kid definitely isn’t in the same mold

Would have to sit out, correct?

Correct.

Which might work out fairly well, considering we're expecting we'll lose Watford and Emmitt Williams after this year. Bringing on a big man we've developed who's a third-year collegian with size and athleticism should help mitigate that (and having Days as a junior to take over the "4" would help as well).

Hopefully we can land this guy. He has 3 years of eligibility left

I don't see Emmitt as an NBA player. Unless he really develops some ball-handling and outside shooting, then he's a 6-6 PF. I love him as a college player, but I think he's a four-year player, unless he gets some really bad advice, which is always possible.

Emmitt is going to get some really bad advice.

He has to develop ballhandling plus mid range and three point game

After seeing draymond green success anything can happen.
