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

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.
