Anyone with any info on potential transfers in &/or out?
I’d think AK will be working the portal hard to find a couple of bigs.

Don't know if there are still ties but there is a PG and SF from Ole Miss in the portal

A new Bob Stone at the 4 and another Bob Stone at the 5.

I know he has stupid technicals, but KJ Buffen worked out great for us. Let's double dip in the Ole Miss portal again.

Supposedly reached out to Langston Wilson out of Washington

We need to score a big man pretty badly. To my knowledge we got Davis and Rongie and that’s it

I’d watch for Sharp from WKU to possibly hit the portal now that their coach is gone.

We have Chris Coleman who's a "big" since he's 6'9 but plays more like a guard since he had a massive growth spurt late. I remember when he committed that AK posted a GIF of Pascal Siakim

Coleman is an absolute stud, but I do favor the huge body bigs like Trey. But hell what do I know

I still laugh at this.

Need a big and a shooter for sure. EG should take over the point, we have some very nice signees but we need to sign someone capable of hitting 3s and averaging more than 10 ppg, and a post who can defend and be a double-double threat. Davis should take on a much bigger role but I question whether he can consistently play 25+ minutes.

He was one of the most important pieces on this season's team.

Can we get another mid-range Mike?

Our Juco guys will be shot makers for sure. Both average nearly 17 a game I think. I know competition will step up but that’s a good sign

Is Jaborri McGhee going to be on the roster next year? Or is he coming the year after?

Russell Dean 6-5 of from Hampton has heard from UAB.

Hampton transfer Russell Dean (@deuceydoo_) tells TPR that he has received interest from:

UAB
NIU
UMBC
SFA
Loyola Marymount
Montana
Liberty
Radford
Queens (NC)
Dayton
Rider

We need shooters and ball handlers badly… but we haven’t had a real PG since AK has been here so I guess he’s ok with that. We are short on big men too. We need a lot of stuff lol, but the juco guys that are coming in do look quite good.

Tyler Houser from VMi has heard from UAB.

Is that the first Center we’ve public gone after
