Verbal commits tweeting today that Jacobi, Wilson, Davis and Wallace are all in the portal.

All are understandable transfers except for Jacobi who sat still one year by red-shirting. The decision to RS makes little sense from a UT perspective. It can help him eligibity wise at his next school.

That leaves 2 open spots if we assume EDU, Lorentsson, Cochran, Dennis, Moss, Maddox Simmons, and Farmer all come back, plus the 3 known Freshman.

TK should go big and get BIGS and he should use all his scholarships for the first time.

UT will be strong again next year.

Go Rockets!!!!!

I don't

Yes People were speculating on Jacobi all year. Maybe a little surprised by Davis, he's supposed to be a 3 point specialist. I guess trust in coach that the incoming kids are stronger and more talented, and we all know we need more bigs.

EJ Farmer into the Transfer portal

I don't see any difference now with TK at the helm. His offensive prowness and limited defensive philosophy will be forever planted at UT. This team will florished during the season only to faltered at the end in tournament play, whether it's the MAC Championship or the NIT opening round. I really thought UT had a shot at the NCAA March Madness, but failed again. TK is a good coach, players stay out of trouble, go to classes, they seem to have fun under his direction, but he takes them so far and that's it. The old adage, unless you are the Loyola of Marymount in year's past, defense wins in the end. That is why Kent State is still playing.

This is a bit strange as his minutes increased all year.

Wow I thought we would forsure have farmer back

Wasn't Farmer good friends with Wilson and roommates. Before this post was posted, I was just thinking of that if Wilson transfer out, does Farmer follow and now it's confirmed, too bad. I hope Edu returns, but I don't know now. Surprise about Davis, but UT was the only D1 scholarship that came his way. Perhaps now, he may go DII now. Cedarville, Ashland, Saginaw Valley State, and Fairmont State were the schools that recruited him. Fairmont finished at 24-8 this past season. Cedarville, near where I live, finished at 18-11. They did beat the Findley Oliers at home 85-72.

What does this have to do with players transferring???

Starting 5: Portal Center, Simmons, Sonny, Cochran, and Moss. Maddox and Lorenston off bench?

Farmer in the portal? Wtf

Dennis going somewhere that I'm unaware of?

Nothing going on, I would be more concern where Edu takes his basketball game next fall.

Not surprising on any of them other than Farmer who I thought showed some development this season -- especially during the back end of the schedule. From my count, it looks like we now have 3 scholarships available (7 returrning Players plus the 3 Freshmen). Obviously need some BIGS. Time for TK to go do his thing in the Portal which has been very kind to him over the years, i.e. Pearson, Drummond, Buckley, Weatherspoon, Taylor, Fletcher, Littleson, Dennis, Maddox, Cochran, etc.

Maddox still has a few MAC teams for whom he hasn’t played. He may try a directional Michigan or Buffalo to pick up that fourth MAC state.

Farmer is surprising. My guess he wants to Start, like everyone else on the team. He was fun to watch and really helped in a few games coming off the bench.

Cochran would have taken a lot of minutes from Farmer next season. Wilson would have taken a lot of minutes if not the other 2 Freshman as well. I was surprised he is leaving though.
