I've seen a number of folks argue against bringing in another big man and/or bringing in a non-senior big man. I strongly disagree... I really hope they do bring in such a player, as it could be really important... for 2022-23!
Lets say no additional big men are added. Lots of folks expect Hunter to be 2-and-done. Lots of folks talk about Diabate being a 1 and done. Johns will be a senior. Whether Davis comes back or not, he will not be around beyond next year. That's 100% of the PF/C players, all reasonably expected to be gone, unless one sees Williams as a legit starting 4 (or shifts Houston there, and he's not a 1-and-done).
True freshmen bigs are tough to rely on in primary roles, as are transfer bigs (though that may be changing). Would be really great to bring in someone to grow behind Hunter (and compete with him in practice) and then be ready for a bigger role the following year.
