This deserves it's own thread



Very Nice.
I saw Toppin entered the portal and was hoping to see ISU contact him... surprised were already in his top 3.
Not especially excited to see ISU going up against UK and Oregon for a transfer.
I think it is safe to say ISU would give him the best opportunity to not be recruited over of the 3. Strangely that gives me hope...

Yes, and Obi showed him he can be successful at a non-blueblood, which also gives a strange sense of hope.

Good defender. 3rd best offensive player on their team. 6'10 wingspan. Lots of upside.
There’s a lot to like as a rising soph.

The RI team had good team defense, so it’s not surprising his defensive metrics are good. We could use some of that mindset!

Hard to say the 7th leading scorer at 5.1 points/gm is the 3rd best offensive player. But he doesn’t seem like a chucker, which is a good thing.

Is Altman's entire philosophy and team now all transfers and jucos?

Other than mountains, the ocean, waterfalls, moderate winters/summers, and legal weed? Can't think of a single reason why a 19 yo would want to come to Oregon.

You think the ocean (90 minutes away), waterfalls, and mountains are high on Tobbin’s list? Is he looking to at Outward Bound programs?

Better weather and medicinal supplements are up there, though.

Yeah, but one of the main pluses to transferring here is that you don’t have to play defense anymore.
