That's a really good point. Not saying we don't want any top 10 one-and-done guys, but it is nice having guys that are here more than one year to build a consistently winning team. CH is on fire on the recruiting trail, very impressive 2021 and 2022 classes so far.

Seems the recruits for these two cycles really represent the types of guys Holtmann wants to recruit and fit his personality. Been burnt on the 1 and done's and I know that is just the nature of the beast now but he's going in the right direction for sure. Love the guys that work their craft to work their talent.

Kevin Warren is an ass
I am befuddled by Holtmann's recruiting. It seems like all he knows is to recruit wing players/guards and ignore the true big man. I think very soon we are going to get lost in the Big Ten because we really have no guys coming in that will provide any height. I know that we have Key and he is only going to improve in coming years but if you like at the rest of the Big Ten and the guys that they have or are bringing in Ohio State is not in a very good petition. I do not know maybe we get Reid or Hurlburt but I have no idea what other big man we might be involved with and that concerned me. I do not have premium to the recruiting sites so maybe I am missing something significant but I sure hope that Holtmann brings in a good post player for next season.

It's clear that we have prioritized certain bigs in the next two classes but I honestly couldn't tell you if the staff is being dangerously overconfident that they actually land one of those top targets. They might have good reason not to settle for less, and Zed gives them some assurance of at least one good piece to utilize in the post, but I do wonder if they shouldn't cast the net a little wider.
That said, I think they really want someone that is good enough to potentially start over a soph/junior Zed or at least make it a close battle for that honor, and there aren't a ton of bigs that could do that outside of the ones they are pursuing.

Four-star forward Kyle Filipowski talks growing recruitment
Class of 2022 forward Kyle Filipowski has been getting a lot of national attention as he begins his junior season. The 6-foot-10 four-star has no timeline for any decisions due to not being able to take visits due to the current covid restrictions. While Filipowski is fully open to any school who reaches out, he’s been prioritized the most by Marquette, Ohio State, Iowa, and Louisville with Stanford and Wake Forest being the newest schools to enter the mix.
Filipowski broke down each school prioritizing him with 247Sports.
Ohio State: “Ohio State is really good. I speak with coach Diebler pretty often, our relationship is very good. I love their game style and what they have to offer. I've done recent zooms with them, learning more about their academics as well. Their play this year is very impressive and something I'm looking at. Obviously players come and go and there might be a good year or bad year, but just seeing how they're playing with the pieces they have, and the style they play, is impressive. I'm looking at how I would compare to their system and their players, it’s impressive. I'm excited to see what they have to offer for me. Coach Holtmann has specifically told me I'm not exactly like any one of their players, I’m like a mixture of a couple. They've done a couple zooms on how I would play on the perimeter and on the outside as well. They're looking for the inside out game for me and it's great to see, I love it.”

Just sayin, that's the most "impressives" in one comment section from any recruit I can remember.

All I know is with the awesome Guard talent we're bringing in, we need to be going uptempo a lot and keep the athletic bigs coming.

Too soon old, too late smart
The last two legitimate bigs were both projects. Maybe 3. One bolted to Alabama, not sure where the other went (Fla At?), and now Diallo. I get that the MCL is injured, but haven't heard about surgery, and there've been RBs that have healed quicker. I like the temperment of the 2020-21 team, and willingness to bang with the big guys. Might be a short dance, when tOSU faces a talented big.

Potter went to Wisconsin...and Kaleb Wesson was a legit big too let's remember.
This team is what it is....no need to stress about it.

Too soon old, too late smart
Not stressing, exactly....but these guys are playing too well to be let down just because one of them isn't five inches bigger. Have seen too many 'doughnut teams' (nothing in the middle) get hammered by a talented center-led team. Actually, am very proud of tOSU guys (and gals btw) for achieving so much with their ranges of talent. Forgot about Potter (who's playing very well), and Kaleb, who was a tad undersized, but used his body extremely well. I'll come up with the names that have escaped me, and yes, I'll simply enjoy the MBB and WBB show. Go Bucks!
