RE: 2021-22 Hoops Transfers and Recruiting
MAC Transfer Update:
Marreon Jackson - Transferring from Toledo - Undecided on transfer destination - Senior - 6’1” - PG - 2* recruit from Garfield Heights HS (Cleveland) - Jackson has played 4 seasons at Toledo. As a senior, Jackson played and started 30 games averaging 34.2 minutes and 18.1 ppg/6.1 rpg/5.9 apg/1.8 spg shooting 40.3% from the field (34.8% 3PT - 86 of 247) and 90.4% FT (103 of 114). Gran transfer, extra year of eligibility or whatever it is, this is still a huge loss for Toledo and it's looking very much like next year’s Toledo team will be dramatically different from the past couple of seasons. Coming out of HS, Jackson received additional offers from Buffalo, Robert Morris, and Cleveland State.
Zach Gunn - Transferring from Ball State - Undecided on transfer destination - RS Junior - 6’6” - PF - 3* recruit from Hamilton Southeastern HS (Fishers, IN) - Gunn played 3 seasons at Ball State. In his RS Junior season, Gunn played in 17 games (3 starts) averaging 10.4 minutes and 3.4 ppg/2.2 rpg shooting 43.5% from the field (40% 3PT - 14 of 35) and 80% FT (4 of 5). After Gunn’s sophomore season, it appeared he was on his way to being a pretty productive player for Ball State but an injury which derailed his 3rd season seems to have also set him back from a production standpoint. Coming out of HS, Gunn received additional offers from Butler, Saint Louis, Indiana State, Indiana, and IUPUI.
Tre Edwards - Transferring from Akron - Undecided on transfer destination - RS Freshman - 6’6” - SG - 2* recruit from Link Year Prep School (Branson, MO - born in Hamilton, ON where he attended Hamilton Heights Christian Academy) - Edwards played one season at Akron where he played in 5 games averaging 0.8 minutes and 1.2 ppg. Coming out of HS, Edwards received additional offers from Arkansas State, New Mexico, FAU, Weber State and Buffalo.
Rifen Miguel - Transferring from Ohio - Undecided on transfer destination - Junior - 6’9” - PF - 2* recruit from West Oaks Academy (Orlando - born in Luanda, Angola) - Miguel started his collegiate playing career at the College of Central Florida (Ocala, FL). Miguel then transferred to Tallahassee CC before transferring to Ohio where he will once again transfer. This year, Miguel played in 13 games (0 starts) averaging 7.3 minutes and 2.9 ppg/1.6 rpg shooting 34.3% from the field (25% 3PT - 3 of 12) and 73.3% FT (11 of 15). Coming out of HS, Miguel received offers from James Madison and Chattanooga and coming out of JUCO, he received additional offers from Western Kentucky, Troy, Grambling, Jacksonville State, Hampton, Southern, Milwaukee, Radford, Eastern Illinois, SIUe, Missouri State, Louisiana-Monroe, and Massachusetts.
Mattia Acunzo - Transferring to Robert Morris from Toledo - RS Freshman - 6’8” - PF - 2* recruit from Kennedy Catholic HS (Kennedy, PA - born in Sardinia, Italy) - Acunzo spent two seasons at Toledo (he red-shirted his first season). As a RS F, Acunzo played in 30 games (0 starts) averaging 15 minutes and 5.9 ppg/3.5 rpg/0.9 apg shooting 52.9% from the field (40.5% 3PT - 15 of 37) and 75.5% FT (37 of 49). Something is up at Toledo. As pointed out by NorthCoast, Toledo is hemorrhaging post players right now. And losing a guy like Acunzo has to hurt as he still has 3 years of eligibility and played in 30 games and logged meaningful minutes this year. It’ll be interesting how this will all play out or if this is a huge sign that players are really taking advantage of the lax transfer rules this year. Only time will tell. Coming out of HS, Acunzo received additional offers from Bucknell, Old Dominion, South Florida, Richmond, USC Upstate, Appalachian State, Wright State, American, Lipscomb, UC Riverside, UNC Greensboro, Western Carolina, Elon, James Madison, Canisius, Stony Brook, and Youngstown State.
Jermaine Marshall - Transferring to Samford from Akron - Sophomore - 6’6” - PF - 2* recruit from DME Sports Academy - Attended Hueytown HS (Birmingham, AL) - Marshall started his collegiate career at Florida SouthWestern State College (Ft. Myers - JUCO) before transferring to Akron. At Akron, Marshall played one season playing 17 games (1 start) and averaging 7.7 minutes and 2.5 ppg/2.8 rpg while shooting 37.9% from the field (22.2% 3PT - 4 of 18) and 81% FT (17 of 21). Coming out of HS/JUCO, Marshall received additional offers from Wingate, North Alabama, Drake, FGCU, Kent State, UAB, Fresno State, Southern Miss, Sam Houston State, James Madison, and Fordham.
Jonathan Komagum - Transferring to Sacramento State from Toledo - Junior - 6’9” - C - 2* recruit from TaylorMade Academy of Crescent City Christian School (Metairie, LA - born in London) - Komagum started his collegiate career at Williston State College (JUCO - Williston, ND) where he played for 2 seasons before transferring to Toledo this past year. In his one season at Toledo, Komagum played in 26 games (8 starts) averaging 9.1 minutes and 0.8 ppg/2.4 rpg shooting 35.3% from the field (0 for 1 from behind the arc) and 58.8% FT (10 of 17). In essence, Komagum was a tall dude and that’s about it. Coming out of HS, Komagum received an offer from Maine and coming out of JUCO, he received additional offers from Detroit Mercy and St. Bonaventure.
