Basketball Transfer Portal Thread

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well.....starting this a little earlier than I wanted to. We desperately need a true PG. Not a scoring PG. A guy who can run the offense and let Hubbard roam. We also need some sort of post player. A couple of 3 and D guys would be nice too but everyone who comes to State forgets either the 3, the D, or both so I imagine that ship has sailed. Bolded guys are officially in the portal.

Possible Targets:

Dedan Thomas-UNLV-PG
Josh Dix-Iowa-SG
Gabe Cupps-PG-Indiana
Adam Njie-PG-Iona
Bryce Hopkins-PF-Providence
Lawson Lovering-C-Utah
Nick Davidson-C-Nevada
Malik Reneau-PF-Indiana
Quimari Peterson-PG-ETSU
Pryce Sandfort-SF-Iowa
Chase Forte-PG-South Dakota St
Wes Enis-PG-Lincoln Memorial(D2)
Jaden Henley-SF-UNLV
Themus Fulks-Milwaukee
Tyler Lundblade-SG-Belmont
Alex Chaikin-SG-Lafayette
Carmelo Pacheko-SG-Mt. St. Mary's
DJ Richards-McNeese St
Kam Craft-SG-Miami(OH)
Joe Nugent-SF-Holy Cross
Moe Odum-PG-Pepperdine
Trevan Leonhardt-PG-Utah Valley
Sean Newman Jr.-PG-La Tech
Treysen Eaglestaff-SG-North Dakota

Murphy would be a huge blow

Murphy would be a huge blow

He'll test the waters out of all likelihood. I do expect him to come back but I expect that at the very least, he tests the NBA waters.

Completely forgot about Foumena. Yea we'll definitely lose Clary. Also didn't know Adrian Myers was still on the team.

[maroonmania]

I hope we didn't actually pay any NIL to Clary. If so money down the rathole.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We did. Now we didn't pay it all thankfully because our NIL payments are monthly so we did recoup some of that money. I also know our basketball NILs are mostly backloaded because of when the season is. Football guys are front loaded and basketball and baseball are more back loaded I believe. I could've gotten that completely backwards though.

[Coach34]

I don’t expect Murphy to return. I’m hopeful tho.

[RezDog7]

Murphy would be a huge blow

Huge blow to what, the warm seat and 45 minutes on the bench?

[BankerDog]

Until our fans and alumni get their heads out of sand in regards to NIL-we will continue to have to take the head cases because that?s what we have budgeted for.
You pay for what you get. It?s beyond sad Ole Miss has passed us in the Big 3 and women?s basketball even.

It?s time for Selmon to really step it up another gear and get everyone pulling in same direction. And there is going to be push back to that for obvious reasons.

Well we basically have two guys heading up basketball NIL. We need about 10 more.

I heard our hoops NIL is very healthy

Getting Oscar back in the fold was HUGE. We need about 3 more Oscar's

[Coursesuper]

Well we basically have two guys heading up basketball NIL. We need about 10 more.

One of them can afford all of it.

[StarkVegasSteve]

One of them can afford all of it.

Both of them can probably afford all of it. We just need about 10 more like the second one. We don't have many other alums like the first, especially ones that love basketball as much as he does.

Those two up enough for this portal class and to keep three big players. One personally had a hand in keeping Cam and Key.

It?s not bad-but we need to evaluate it better.

[msstate7]

OM winning today sucks, but I bet it helps us. I'm crazy enough to think the real money guys behind basketball help Jans even more now. OM putting pressure on us to raise our level.

[msstate7]

After this season, I have a feeling Jans will prioritize defense. We going aTm style
