There are a few D2 players who put up big numbers and have good size on this list: https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-m ... vidual/136
We need some proven size. Huntley (if returning) and Marcus Jr. isn’t going to cut it.hapapp wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 5:55 amJMU's portal activity: https://jmusportsnews.com/2024/04/19/jm ... l-tracker/
As long as we aren’t playing against Abson, we’ll be fine.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 7:40 amWe need some proven size.

Luke Wilson as well. But, yeah, I agree. Proven bigs from portal or juco.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 7:40 amWe need some proven size.

Yup. So we’re essentially replacing Abson, Spillers, and Hayes with Wilson and Marcus Jr at the moment.app97 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 9:18 amLuke Wilson as well. But, yeah, I agree.

We definitely need one more player with good size. I am hoping for 6'10 or taller in one of our last additions.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 10:13 amYup.

Need more!
We should have 3-4 scholarships remaining depending on Huntley. Sounds like he’s returning, so 3 remaining.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:18 pmWe definitely need one more player with good size.

Hopefully Huntley stays. He is better than his numbers indicate. I expect he could be a starter and possibly All-Sun Belt next year if he can take that next step as a player.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:29 pmWe should have 3-4 scholarships remaining depending on Huntley.

O’Kelley and Stanback are committed but don’t believe they’ve signed yet. Will be interesting to see what happens there.
I’m on the fence with the 2 that are unsigned. If they sign, we will have 8 scholarship guys that have never played college basketball, that is a lot in the portal age. We should probably honor the commitments as that’s a slippery slope but you build your roster year by year and things have changed since their commitments. Wonder why they haven’t signed yet? Take those 2 and only have 3 left, or have 5 scholarships open to find more college ready guys? Tough decisions.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:40 pmHopefully Huntley stays.

I hope those two show up but it would still be good to add one more big man of the last 3, even if Huntley indeed comes back. It would be nice to have 2 capable players who are 6'10 or taller. If someone gets hurt we would still have a lot of height on the floor.
