    Men's Transfer Portal Targets

    Now that this basketball season is officially over, I've gotten together a preliminary list of guys I think we should target. The numbers to the right of their names are their FG%, 3pt%, and FT%. The ones in bold are the ones that there is confirmation we have contacted that I could find.


    Gibson Jimmerson- 6'5 SG St. Louis 40/36/86
    Clifford Omoruyi- 6'11 C Rutgers 51/20/61
    Mekhi Mason- 6'5 SG Rice 39/34/68 committed to Washington
    Dakota Leffew- 6'5 SG Mt. St. Mary's 46/36/76
    Mikeal Brown-Jones 6'8 SF UNCG 54/43/79
    Frankie Fidler- 6'7 SF Omaha 45/36/85
    Darlinston Dubar- 6'8 CG Hofstra 54/40/73
    Sincere Parker- 6'3 SG St. Louis 46/37/84(career avgs.)
    Keyshawn Hall- 6'7 CG George Mason 47/38/84
    Dante Maddox Jr.- 6'2 SG Toledo 43/40/86
    Bryce Pope- 6'3 SG UC San Diego 42/33/82
    Terrance Edwards Jr- 6’6 SF James Madison 43/34/81 added 3/27 committed to Louisville
    BJ Freeman- 6’6 SG Milwaukee 42/35/84 added 3/28
    Tarris Reed Jr- 6'10 PF Michigan 51/33/59 added 3/28
    AJ Storr- 6'7 SG Wisconsin 43/32/81 added 3/28
    Max Jones- 6'4 Cal State Fullerton 38/39/79 added 3/28
    Davonte Davis 6’4 SG Arkansas 36/24/77 added 3/29
    Kanye Clary 5’11 PG Penn State 46/38/81 committed to us 3/29
    Jahsean Corbett 6’7 SG Chicago St 47/29/70 added 4/2
    Sam Alexis 6'9 PF Chattanooga 55/27/48 added 4/3
    Jalen Blackmon 6'3 CG Stetson 43/38/91 added 4/3
    Jamie Kaiser Jr. 6'6 SF Maryland 27/27/78. Only played 19 MPG added 4/3
    Joshua Ola-Joseph 6'7 SF Minnesota 61/41/74. Only played 15 MPG added 4/3
    Brandon Johnson 6'8 SF East Carolina 42/37/74 added 4/3



    The next list is guys not YET in the portal but I believe will end up in the portal.

    Cade Tyson- 6'7 PF Belmont 49/46/85
    Chaz Lanier- 6'4 SG North Florida 51/44/88
    Davion Bailey- 6'4 SG Ball State 44/42/82
    Donovan Atwell- 6'5 SG UNCG 41/42/95

    Let me know who all y'all would like to see added

    Wish we could get Quinten Post back (not sure if he has one more year of eligibility though).

    If he can walk and chew gum at the same time and can hit 80+% of his FTs, sign him up. **

    In basketball, they should have a Designated Free Throw shooter "DFTS" that can come off the bench, shoot a player's FTs and return to the bench. Ha!

    Thanks for posting this, good information. In my opinion our biggest needs are getting a running partner for Hubbard, someone who compliments him while they are on the floor together but he can also be the offensive focal point when Hubbard is on the bench. We need a couple shooters and we need a big who can score and protect the rim. We are losing Tolu and Bell so I'm hoping Jans can get in the portal and recruit well enough to convince a big or two that alot of playing time will be available.

    If alijah Martin hits the portal, I'd be on him. He's from MS and his coach left, so I think it's possible

    It's being reported that Trey Fort is in the transfer portal so that's another spot we have to fill. I actually saw some potential in him, he had a few good games for us, I wouldn't be surprised to see him do well elsewhere

    Yeah, I think Fort can be a player. He just had injuries and then, he fell out of the rotation.

    Being reported that we have reached out to Terrance Edwards from James Madison. Added him to the list. I think he would be a great addition. Will be tough to get him though as he is probably going to be one of the more sought after transfers and I am sure his coach will try to bring him to Vandy with him.

    Riley Kugel out of Florida just entered the portal. He was once committed to us when we had Howland. His 3 point % isn't great around 31%, free throw around 70% but he did average around 10 ppg and is battle tested in the SEC

    Yea I will add him. I think we would have a shot with him due to George Brooks. However, he needs to understand that coming here does not guarantee him a starting spot. He needs to up his game back to the level it was at last season.

    Agreed, he had a really good Freshman year... his sophomore year wasn't bad but he started losing playing time and that's why he's leaving.. we will have some spots open that he can fill. I personally would take him over Fort and DeShawn Davis.
