My goodness!
Can’t wait!

One spot left right? I'd grab another forward.

Kid looks good. Looks like he was offered by WKU and FIU coming out of high school, along with several other smaller programs. Either way, hes an all conference player and will likely be a day 1 starter. AK seems to have made some good additions. I also think another big would be angood way to close out this class

Two w/ the latest addition of Hurtado in the transfer portal.

In that case give me a center and a forward.

Here’s some tape. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=...VmeDcLoxQ7

Jeffries looks like he has some of the same athleticism (shredded some defenses on that tape and took it to the rack often and hard) that Bryant has and might be a better shooter from the outside that Zack is.

I do not see Tamell Peason or Rashawn Fredericks in the transfer portal at this time. Does anyone know their status?

Jude Akabueze, 6-8, 260, F, Fr., UAB (1.7 ppg – 7 games)

Zack Bryant, 6-2, 190, G, Jr., UAB (11.0 ppg – 3 games) – GEORGIA SOUTHERN

RaShawn Fredericks, 6-5, 200, G, Grad, UAB (2.3 ppg)

Makhtar Gueye, 6-10, 210, F, Jr., UAB (6.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg)

Tamell Pearson, 6-10, 225, F, Soph., UAB (3.7 ppg, 3.6 rpg)

Jahein Spencer, 6-4, 220, G, Fr., UAB

I got these from the transfer portal.
Jordan Brinson, 6-2, 175, G, Fr., UTEP (3.4 ppg)

If you are keeping up with the portal, use Verbal commits or Jeff Goodman. 247 has nobody keeping up with us, unless jerry Meyer glances over at us while skimming through schools.

Really like the roster coach AK is putting together.

This guy looks like a straight even trade or slight improvement over Scootie. More versatile. Maybe a better shooter, but hard to tell from a highlight tape.

Exactly. we also need to see the lowlight tape for the real picture.

I will always wonder what Spencer could have done had he stayed.

Brinson to UTEP is interesting.

It’s not saying he’s going to UTEP. They goofed it up and said he was from UTEP.
