If you transfer “down” to Rice, Bowling Green or The Citadel you expect to get more PT. Doesn’t always work that way. Jacksonville State finished 13-18/6-12 last season. Peyton Daniels averaged 6ppg and had more turnovers than assists. He only started 7 games. Sometimes that is how it works out. Ak...

I think that we will need to build and retain a legit SEC roster with much less NIL money than any other SEC team. I'm not sure even extreme luck will suffice for that. We all rail against the players who take the higher pay, but how many of us have willingly worked for lower pay/benefits than we c...

It just doesn't require a huge amount of luck to get better players than Trey Thomas, QMB, Myles Stute or Emmanuel Ansong. For sure, money talks in transfer decisions, but a lot of these former players who left were not SEC caliber guys nor did they seem committed to getting a VU education. I think...

If you think there is someone better out there for us…..good luck with that! Do you think that making the NCAA tournament is a pipe dream, and that only with extreme luck we can get there?

i cannot speak for every dismissal but I do know that Stack suggested to at least one if not several of our guys that it might be a good idea to transfer. And also that $$ was the main reason for our highest profile departures. Yes it is a lot of turnover that goes against what we all love about co...

He was a true freshman this year for the Irish, played in 28 games and averaged 17 minutes a game. Averaged 6.2 ppg on 58% shooting, and a relatively robust (for minutes played) 4.4 rebs. He's 6-8, 226 lbs and is from Orlando. Had a ton of offers coming out of high school. And, he did not invent th...

Dean's list student from southern Arkansas. 6-3 205 lb. guard. Only played in 21 games for 80 minutes this season and scored only 15 points. https://twitter.com/JacksonCollier/status/1654229402245533696 He didn't play enough for me to get a good feel from his numbers, but he was highly rated out of...

Originally from London (NOT KENTUCKY), he visited VU in mid-April. He averaged 13.3 ppg, shooting 42% from the field, 32% from three, and 91% from the line in this past season, his sophomore year. He has a long list of suitors. And guess what? He's 6'5". https://twitter.com/ThePortalReport/sta...

NEW NAME: Alimamy Koroma - Cal Poly (via Freetown, Sierra Leone) Interest from VU. Height 6-8 Weight 220 Class Senior Three straight double figure scoring seasons...hit 38% from three one season CJS could do better. Onyema looks better on paper than Koroma. Nelson looks way better than Koroma as we...

Let Robbins host him.

We need a real big - and then we can build off last year.

I imagine he'll be in very high demand, but his addition would immediately elevate our chances for making the tournament. No brainer.

His Twitter profile indicates he’s from Nigeria. I don’t think the state of texas will be a deciding factor. I don’t like to look at previous stats all that much. Stackhouse is a proven developer. I would guess that Onyema came into UTEP very raw, and only picked up basketball due to his height. Bu...

Yeah, you know, those "weak" final four teams. He's being recruited by a final four team as well as Texas? Which one? That seems promising if we can get him, thought the competition will be difficult. Is he from Texas? Might not want to go to Tennessee if he has ties to Texas and play the...

Are we that desperate? Sounds like weak prospect. If he’s being recruited by Texas, he can’t be that weak of a prospect. Yeah, you know, those "weak" final four teams. He's being recruited by a final four team as well as Texas? Which one? That seems promising if we can get him, thought th...

Good looking project transfer from UTEP https://twitter.com/zerikonyema_/status/1652385413598937088?s=46&t=nxMuXicDrQuW67MDkIInkg Interesting prospect - has size at 6'-8", 230, so he would be immediately in the mix for PT. UTEP is in CUSA, so they played a number of tough teams, including ...

The only narrative that makes sense to me is that he went to the portal with some pretty loft expectations on where he would land, perhaps thinking there might be a place for him at another top 20 academic institution where he'd finish his education and play more. My guess is that the phone didn't ...

Bowling Green State U ? They are ranked in a tie at #263 national universities. I really don't want to diss the school (I'm from that area of the country), but the campus itself is not in a garden spot or area for great social life (20 miles to Toledo). Surely Trey knows his future isn't as a playe...

I find it funny a year ago we were getting annoyed with all the 6’2-6’4 guards. We’re basically adding the same positions but with a few extra inches in height. Huh? I don't know what you are talking about, but I was concerned about how many point guards we had on the roster, two of whom were in th...

He's Australian and started 22 games for the Camels this season as a freshman, and averaged 12.5 ppg on 48.7% shooting (and 32.2% from three). He's also 6'6", which would make him the 16th player on next year's roster at that height. :? https://twitter.com/336Edits/status/1650536090208464896 T...
