Apparent (as of 2day) foundation for 25-26 MBB

[Stonewall]

One more in play. Not going to be an easy get , but a difference maker if we can land him.

[app97]

Based off the latest App Men’s Bball account post, we retained 5 guys for now.

Marcus Jr.
Wilson
Dodd
Njock
Clarke Jr.

3 incoming freshman.

Leaves a few open slots for portal/JUCO/HS.
Going to need some scoring and shooting.

3 freshmen are:
SG McKinnon
PG Brim
F Neal

Transfers we have:
CG Kasen Jennings
CG Eren Banks
PF Chad Moodie
PG KJ Vasser

Is there speculation on adding or losing anyone else?

I think we have some solid potential with what we have. Excited about Banks, and I think Jacari Brim is gonna be a baddie

After watching some of Ted Neal’s highlights I think he has potential to develop into a really good sun belt player. His athleticism and game reminds me some of Kendall Lewis.

That's 12 scholarships. Should be full. Or are 13 scholarships allowed?
Anyway, I like portal adds...3 from Atlanta. And the portal adds all have experience but also have years of eligibility left, not just 1 and dones.

Excited to see how Moodie pairs with Wilson/Marcus Jr and where Njock slots in.
Plenty of capable guards on the roster, if Vasser's game translates to D1 we should be in good shape on paper.

I'll take a stab at a starting 5.

PG- Vasser
SG- Banks
SF- Njock (if he's not ready, maybe Jennings)
PF- Moodie
C- Wilson

My guess is the most experienced 5 get the first shot, although the lineup will likely shift.
Dodd - Vasser/Brim backup
Jennings - Clarke/McKinnon backup
Banks - Njock backup
Moodie - Neal backup
Wilson - Marcus backup

The new transfer guards look strong and can defend and shoot. Njock looks like a hybrid player on film who can play on the perimeter and around the basket. He also looked taller in person to me than the height he’s listed at. It will be interesting who we bring in as the 13th scholarship player.

Hoping Njock rehabs successfully and performs up to his potential.
Heaven knows we’ll need it next season.

[Stonewall]

He says he’s ready.

Are you able to say if a transfer, juco or high school target?

Big man? Guard?

[Stonewall]

Transfer . All I can say. He has multiple options but we are in play.

[Stonewall]

We were.

[app97]

Where did he commit?

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Banks, Jennings and Tot can all shoot and drive to the basket. Looks like we have multiple options to prevent 4 minute scoring droughts.

[AppSt94]

But can they hit free throws?

[app97]

Vasser led the nation (94.3%) at the charity stripe in the juco ranks this year and was 93-101 for his career. He will be a welcome addition.

[Stonewall]

Looks like we are done. Hopefully everyone shows up in the fall. We missed a few transfers that we were simply outbid on. D1 starters who like our program but chased the dollar. No judgement. Interestingly, I’m told that Kerns raised the money to pay the guys in 24/25 . The athletic department has committed to contributing to the payroll this season . And let’s not call it NIL , because it’s not . It’s pay for play.

I wonder if Frank Young will be replaced or if Kerns will just keep fewer assistants and pay them more? Or can the vacant coach’s salary go towards NIL?

[Stonewall]

We aren’t in the NIL business. It’s pay for play. We are paying players so I suppose we could go either of the routes you mentioned.
