I figured some of our top targets weren't reporting contact with the reporters on Twitter because there's literally no need but good to hear.
Transfer ranks and writeups from Sam Vecenie/CJ Moore on these guys and the others we've contacted in the Athletic top 100 transfer rankings
Johnell Davis #2
Malick Mack #5
AJ Storr #11
Brandon Garrison #17
Malik Dia #42
Carey Booth #64
Bryce Pope #95
We might have more to add when they update their rankings

Another undersized combo guard looking for his 3rd school, this one at least has succeeded in the B12
Had heard the Kansas rumor as well but the only people that the rumor benefits are from the Kansas side so take it with a grain of salt. 3rd team thing is just what the sport is so you just have to ignore it really at this point.
Gerry mentioned on OTF that we're after AJ Storr out of Wisconsin who I'd assume is one of if not the top prio for us.

Went from starter at K State to 6th man at USF. Not sure what happened in the last year but somehow managed to drastically improve in almost all areas as a shooter which is reflected in all the advanced stats.
I feel like I've done a pretty good job of catching everyone we've contacted at the least, just put Spider on ignore since he spams all his thoughts everywhere and read 20 posts it's really not hard

Very weird shot profile, 6'10 dude who has 60% of his shots from 3 but is not a good 3 point shooter nor does he have an indicator like free throw percentage to even indicate he should be a good 3 point shooter. Interesting group of teams in on him though, obviously Colorado St is there due to daddy
Ya that's not really the point. Undersized shooting guard is a dogshit player archetype and it's also the the only position we have actual depth unless we're trying to Chris Johnson Cam Scott in which case expect him to portal out this time next year.
I know there had been some hope that we'd get back involved with Liam McNeely, sounds like we're not really in the mix

I feel like his stats would be better in a reduced role/less attention on him based on free throw % being an indicator but the shooting stats aren't wonderful

Volume shooting undersized 2 is not the archetype I would have expected us to go for whatsoever but something to keep an eye on. Implies RT is happy to go to those 3 guard lineups again.
KOC is a bum, don't bother paying attention to him generally

Feels like we've only been connected to 4's so far if you had any hope of Mitchell coming back
