Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
There are a few D2 players who put up big numbers and have good size on this list: https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-m ... vidual/136
I wonder if any of these have entered the portal? and are D1 talent players? There is a player from Coker who has size and was a big time scorer. I have to think there are some legit D1 caliber players who were overlooked out of high school due to the portal and COVID classes.

We need some proven size. Huntley (if returning) and Marcus Jr. isn’t going to cut it.hapapp wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 5:55 amJMU's portal activity: https://jmusportsnews.com/2024/04/19/jm ... l-tracker/

As long as we aren’t playing against Abson, we’ll be fine.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 7:40 amWe need some proven size.

Luke Wilson as well. But, yeah, I agree. Proven bigs from portal or juco.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 7:40 amWe need some proven size.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
Yup. So we’re essentially replacing Abson, Spillers, and Hayes with Wilson and Marcus Jr at the moment.app97 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 9:18 amLuke Wilson as well. But, yeah, I agree.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
We definitely need one more player with good size. I am hoping for 6'10 or taller in one of our last additions.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 10:13 amYup.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
We should have 3-4 scholarships remaining depending on Huntley. Sounds like he’s returning, so 3 remaining.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:18 pmWe definitely need one more player with good size.

O’Kelley and Stanback are committed but don’t believe they’ve signed yet. Will be interesting to see what happens there.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
Hopefully Huntley stays. He is better than his numbers indicate. I expect he could be a starter and possibly All-Sun Belt next year if he can take that next step as a player.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:29 pmWe should have 3-4 scholarships remaining depending on Huntley.

I hope those two show up but it would still be good to add one more big man of the last 3, even if Huntley indeed comes back. It would be nice to have 2 capable players who are 6'10 or taller. If someone gets hurt we would still have a lot of height on the floor.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
I’m on the fence with the 2 that are unsigned. If they sign, we will have 8 scholarship guys that have never played college basketball, that is a lot in the portal age. We should probably honor the commitments as that’s a slippery slope but you build your roster year by year and things have changed since their commitments. Wonder why they haven’t signed yet? Take those 2 and only have 3 left, or have 5 scholarships open to find more college ready guys? Tough decisions.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 12:40 pmHopefully Huntley stays.

Yah Huntley would def be a starter next season and his ceiling could absolutely be all-sun belt. He actually had his best KenPom offensive season to date (only a hair behind Spillers) albeit on lower overall usage. I think he might actually be even more efficient if his minutes returned to something more similar to the prior season with the extra shots giving him a bit more time to find his rhythm.

Re: Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)
Huntley needs a bigger bodied big to allow him to play the stretch 4.
