Riley has a nice list, but he may only have that due to popping into the portal quickly. Nick Davidson is the only one with "game". The others just aren't "Arizona" good. I don't think we have seen the market materialize at all. KJ Lewis would top the list at this point and he is only solid at best.

Maybe Tommy can buy him back and it is all a ploy to get $$$

I normally wait until after the tourney to make this thread.
You beat me to it.
So be it.
I will make sure this is sticky at the top of the recruiting thread.

Bidunga is an absolute monster. If we somehow lose two frontcourt players, Lloyd needs to go after Flory, who is raw but can block a ton of shots.

Bidunga is who we get if we ask Awaka to leave. Can't have both then expect to have 2 of Henri, Slo-Mo, and Stephen - and Stephen maybe be as bouncy and able to block+deter shots too.

[KansasCityCats]

Absolutely. I only think the staff would pursue a big if two current players bail...and I have no idea what will happen with Krivas at this point.

KU fans would go nuts if Flory ended up in Tucson because he was a fan favorite. Perfect style of play for Lloyd because he's quick for his size and hustles on every play.

[mvpreed2]

Based on what my eyes see, and who is leaving?
I would go for one single lead guard to fill the void that Love left at SG.

Starters
Bradley
Transfer
Bryant
Peat
Krivas/Veesaar

Bench
Aristode
Awaka
Dell'Orso
James 
Krivas/Veesaar
Martinez 
Stephen

My issue with this roster is Lloyd is going to have enough to eliminate small, but I know he will still do it.
There is a lot to sort out with this big rotation.
Awaka/Peat AND Bryant (if he stays) will probably play PF spot next season.
I do not want to see Bryant at PF.
I want to see him exclusive at SF with Aristode.

You are going to have to figure out 40mins at C with Krivas/Stephen/Veesaar and some of Awaka during small ball.
I do believe that Arizona is going to lose a C before the 2025-26 season is over. 
If Lloyd played it a little more traditional?
I believe this roster would be big, versatile and athletic enough to make it all work.

Carter would need to return and Tommy would need to find some real 3pt shooters. Like how Kelvin Sampson found Uzon.

For me, the one thing Tommy is missing is an affinity to find real 3pt shooters above 1 "chucker". Kerr, Boswell, Love...

I would prefer 3 guys out there that can knockdown a 3 instead of 1 guy who everyone knows is 3 outcome - 3pt make, FTs, or Brick

I think Tommy is getting closer to the UCONN design with bigger 1, 2, 3, and 4's with 1 MONSTER athletic Ogre at the 5. (Bouncy Stephen?)

[KansasCityCats]

I love that we don't have a "chuckles" on that list. Arizona was unstoppable when Love, Boswell or Kerr didn't take double digit shot attempts.
