Am I incorrect in thinking we’d only take one of Nadolny and Grill?

I think Prohm would take both considering there are 3 scholarships open, but I assume either Grill or Nadolny wouldn't want to be the 4th guard added to a class (with Jackson and Leech).
In theory it would work since I view Nadolny as a PG/CG and Grill as SG/SF. In reality, I am sure both would want a path to early playing time and go to a program with less freshman competition.

You would think we'd have more PT to offer Nadolny than TT does, but maybe not. They have several guys either graduating or going pro early too.

I'd like to think we're favored to land him, but I'd put my money on TT right now.
Just like with Mooney a year ago we have a lot to offer, but TT with Beard will be tough to beat. Mooney was exactly what this past team needed.

I believe TT has one scholarship left. They really need an experienced grad transfer considering what they are losing. They have apparently signed 5 freshman. They are competing with Kansas for TJ Holyfield who is a 6'8" grad transfer from SF Austin.

I am pretty indifferent on Grill and Nadolny. If we land one of them, cool. If we don’t, that’s fine. I don’t think either one really changes the outlook on next year.

I wish we could fast forward two weeks to get a better idea of what our roster might look like next year. Personally, I would love to get both Clarence and Grill. I am not a talent evaluator, but from what I've seen they have the potential to come in and push for playing time right away if we got them.

I'd rather have both, than 2-3 grad transfers. But I can also stomach an average season, if I know there's loads of young talent that is going to be around for a few years.

I just don’t want another down year after just having one in 2017-18. I don’t think either of guys would be a bad get but I’m not sure of their impact in regards to making the tournament or not. We’ll be extremely young if we don’t add any grad transfers. 4/5 freshman, 3 sophomores, a JR in Lewis that doesn’t have much experience, a JR in Young who really didn’t play last year and then 2 seniors in Nixon and Jacobson. I’d prefer a good grad transfer but if obviously I’d take Nadolny/Grill over an average grad transfer. We just need some proven bucket getters and we don’t have one right now.

Transfers, freshmen, I'll take the best we can find. Example, THT and TH are far better than Beverly and Brace.
Well yeah, but not every HS guy is going to make a THT/Tyrese level impact from day 1. I don’t think we’re going to land a HS guy in the spring that is a Talen Horton-Tucker level player.

I don't think we'll land a grad transfer that is a Talen-Horton Tucker level of player either. Kane and Dejean-Jones are really the only ones we've ever gotten that were at that level.

I thought he spoke well of Griffin and i sware Lewis has to be due. Maybe he doesn't feel strong enough about the right transfer yet. No point in taking a mediocre transfer. Might as well build for the future in that case.

Every graduate transfer we have ever had...

Jake Anderson
DeAndre Kane
Bryce Dejean-Jones
Darrell Bowie
Merrill Holden
Hans Brase
Jeff Beverly
Zoran Talley

If we were to find somebody on the Anderson or Talley level for next year, I would be pretty happy. Those guys are not stars, but they can be effective as your 4th or 5th best starter on a decent Big 12 team. If somebody told me we had cloned Uncle Jake and brought him ready to go with the team next year, I would be rather excited for a nice addition.
