His top 5 list:
Sean Obi :: 6-9 :: Duke
Cam Johnson :: 6-8 :: Pitt
Kameron Rooks :: 7-2 :: Cal
Kerem Kanter :: 6-10 :: UW-GB
Mark Donnal :: 6-9 :: Michigan
Others
Matthew Atewe :: 6-9 :: Washington
Ahmed Hamdy-Mohamed :: 6-9 :: VCU
Duby Okeke :: 6-8 :: Winthrop
Jack Whitman :: 6-9 :: William & Mary
Hans Brase :: 6-9 :: Princeton
From this list I think it's pretty clear Donnal is the target to replace Patton. Rooks and Obi are big question marks due to injuries in past. Would be tough to have a grad transfer and Toby rehabbing at the same time. Need someone who is ready to go from day 1 imo. Donnal is super productive, skilled and tested. Kanter is looking elsewhere. The staff would love to have Johnson at the 4. He's more of a 2 than a 5. There are other options out there who have not yet declared they will be transferring so watch this space.
