His high school teammate (and I think close friend) Jahlil White came here, and I would imagine we'd be a top contender if he hit the portal. He'd be a day one contributor.

if he went in the portal, temple could land him...the problem is why would temple want him?
he was a 3star with a moderate offer list, who is deep bench at another school, and while wvu is good, they arent some 5 star roster- their 3 starting guards- juco. juco, 3star

there are numerous all-conference players already in the portal, numerous 4stars (like battle)..if you are going the transfer route, you go proven commodity or high ceiling...

It looks like scouts missed on that entire 2018 Moeller team (Cincinnati high school). Jaxson Hayes was a one and done lottery pick after not even being ranked in the top 100, Jeremiah Davenport was slated to go to Wright State before UC scooped him up and he's our best player as a sophomore, and Miles McBride with WVU is a complete stud and future 1st round pick.

when players end up at texas, wvu and cincy then it means the people who get paid to evaluate talent at these universities didn't miss. the recruiting services are about selling subscriptions, not much real scouting going on.
