Portal season (Abson, Spillers, etc)

[appdaze]

Stay tuned. I will say that I believe we will be a contender come March.

Is Bronny transferring in?

Overrated...

100%, but I'd bet we'd take LeFlops check.

Yes ! We’re going all the way ! Or to Pensacola….

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.

Hoping Kerns can find some more hidden gems like he did last spring.

X has committed.

Don’t sound jealous.

We need some proven size. Huntley (if returning) and Marcus Jr. isn’t going to cut it.

[Stonewall]

They have a physical therapy program.

As long as we aren’t playing against Abson, we’ll be fine.

Luke Wilson as well. But, yeah, I agree. Proven bigs from portal or juco.

Yup. So we’re essentially replacing Abson, Spillers, and Hayes with Wilson and Marcus Jr at the moment.
Need more!

We definitely need one more player with good size. I am hoping for 6'10 or taller in one of our last additions.

We should have 3-4 scholarships remaining depending on Huntley. Sounds like he’s returning, so 3 remaining.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Saint3333]

Huntley needs a bigger bodied big to allow him to play the stretch 4.
