A little exercise, for f*n . . .
The team title for 2019-20 is expected to be hotly contested. For sake of this exercise, let's assume the current "Big 4" (i.e., PSU, OhSt, Iowa, OkSt) are the contenders. Hypothetically, let's say each contender believes it is just one guy short of being a solid favorite. For each of the "Big 4" teams, who would you add to the roster via transfer from another D1 team* to put that contender "over the top" (or at least, maximize its chances at the team title)? Let's do this 2 ways:
A. Take a guy only from a team outside the "Big 4".
B. Take a guy from only one of the other "Big 4" teams.
Part B could be especially interesting, as you are not only filling a need, but also taking away from another contender. To avoid complexity, assume for Part B that each team makes its move in isolation (i.e., the team selects a guy as though it is the only team making a move -- it does not make a selection on the basis of countering moves by the other contenders).
Feel free to copy-paste this format for listing your selections:
Part A
Iowa:
PSU:
OhSt:
OKSt:
Part B
Iowa:
PSU:
OhSt:
OKSt:
* Selections have to be guys with 2019-20 eligibility (you may include guys believed to be applying for 6th year awards).
