Logan Strom is Transferring So this is strictly my thoughts...no inside info. Over the years, Les has started two "bigs" and at most, brings in two big men off the bench. Assuming that holds, we'll start Goode and John next year (both seniors), with Russell (Senior), Underwood (Junior), and Neufield (Junior) coming off the bench. Not a whole lot of court time for Strom next year. Having said that, you do think if he had done his time on the bench, his court time could have increased over the next few years (kind of like Michael this past year).
Additionally, if you look at the current state of college basketball, a lot of teams are going to a lineup of five almost interchangeable pieces. Nevada, who did really well in the tournament, basically had 5 guys right around 6'7". I don't know if Les is moving that way, but with the recent recruits, Nelson at 6'4", Jackson at 6'6", Fuller at 6'6", to go along with John 6'8", Underwood 6'8", that gives us a very athletic lineup. I liked what I saw (briefly) from Strom...he seemed to have a good shot, but he might have been just a step slow to play the way we want to play now.
Or, of course, there might be something totally un-related that caused the move. Whatever the reason, I hope he finds what he's looking for in Omaha.
