I had spent a few minutes digging and came to the conclusion that out of that list, he (Fitz) was the only person who fit based on height alone. Fitzmorris' nose is a bit more distinguished, so I'm not quite sure it's him.
Edit: I checked the twitter thread again, and Tim Hill said he's been told it's Oscar Cluff from WSU (who transferred in from Cochise Junior College). Judging by Cluff's followers (mens bball twitter page, Mims, Tyler Gidden, Klink), I think this has to be the guy.
Oscar Cluff 6'11" Center - 20.2mpg, started 23 games, 7/4.4/1.2 on 53/1/66 (only took 1 three)
Also very much worth noting that as far as official "interest" goes, I'm fairly positive nothing was publicly mentioned (at least on twitter) recently about Isaac Lindsey or even Cluff, so unless you're a twitter-follow detective or in "the know," there wasn't any real way of knowing about either player. Either way, I'm glad how things are working out, since it may have appeared like we were behind (if you go strictly off offers to portal players that were made public).
There's probably something also worth stating about the type of recruiting occurring where maybe some are giving offers to many and hoping for one versus being more selective and sending out one or two and landing one. Then again, as Diesel mentioned, the connection with Lindsey already existed.Last edited by peavy; 04-14-2024, 08:09 PM.

If it is Cluff, would he be the first Australian native the Jacks have had?

Guess he seemed to be a couple inches shorter than Barnhart.

Colorado, Minnesota, and Wyoming are also interested in Cluff (following Minnesota HC, being followed by 3 UM coaches, following 2 Colorado coaches, followed by 3 Wyoming coaches)

I just figured they were the same height-ish and used the generalization that all measurements outside the combine are subjective. Cade Hornecker from SIU is another 7 footer who maybe garnered a little interest or at least a follow (documented "interest" from USD); he has red hair, so he was immediately ruled out.

My niece and I walked around the track at "halftime" of the Spring Game, and I'll say that Barnhart seemed taller than the other gent. If I'd have been braver, I'd have struck up a conversation to get more "clues"

I wonder if we are showing any interest in Northern's Jacksen Moni. The 6'10 player has offers from UND, NDSU, Chattanooga, Austin Peay, Omaha, Bradely and Illinois State. Assume we still have a scholarship available? I wonder if the coaching staff is still looking for an experienced 6'7-6'8 small forward.Last edited by JACKGUYII; 04-16-2024, 02:31 PM.

I see someone on twitter has also made the connection between Hendo being a finalist for the WSU job and us landing a WSU player, so I will put on my tin foil hat and ask if this is just a coincidence. I'm not sure how much contact a finalist would have with the players while interviewing, but I assume Hendo was in Pullman (at some point between 3/29 and 4/2) since things pointed to him being one of the 3-4 finalists.
Cluff entered the portal on the 2nd, and the dead period (which I forgot about until OldHare alluded to it a few days ago) went on from April 4th to the 11th. Cluff would have had 5 days for visits starting on the 11th at noon.
