Here is a quick list of a few of the C/PF that are still on the market. They are listed in order of my favorites. No idea if we have had any real contact with any of these guys...but adding one of these top few guys would be very solid!
Completely different player from Igor. Igor is a stretch big who can play on the perimeter. Okpara, as we saw when he got torched by Mast in Lincoln, quite the opposite.

Yup, sounds like they would like a more traditional big AND someone like Milicic...

We’ve seen Barnes work with hybrid types in the past — think Josiah-Jordan James, Yves Pons. Adding Milicic would give Tennessee plenty of three-point pop, but I would be interested to see if Barnes pushed for more of a post role for him. Regardless, it still feels like Tennessee would still be in the market for another big man, pending the Awaka situation. The Volunteers currently only have JP Estrella and Cade Phillips on the roster in the frontcourt.
Anyone else hearing smoke on 7-1 Center Braxton Meah from Washington that is in the portal? Has 1 year left. Blocks shots & rebounds but not the facilitator & outside shooter that Mast is. Transferred to Washington from Fresno St. Looks like he'd be more of that big bodied defensive & rebounding type player. Brings much needed size and post depth. Had a decent 2022-23 season at Washington as a starter but last season looks like he only started about half the games and his numbers went down.
I wonder if we will go after 7-0 Noah Boyed from McCook CC. He had signed with Baylor in November but just announced he was in the portal. He's a tall athletic body that can rebound and block shots. Appears to have a decent handle and can hit a 15 footer but only averaged 10.9 pts/game this year at McCook CC
