VU reportedly still out looking at transfer portal options

Post by AuricGoldfinger »

This time it's Mississippi State center Will McNair, Jr. (6-11, 265 lbs), who was a redshirt senior this past year for the Bulldogs. Not a big scorer (3.3 ppg) and only averaged 12.8 minutes a game, but did average 3.2 rpg. Played at New Mexico State before coming with Chris Jans to Starkville. Would be a grad student at Vandy with one season to play.

Obviously, this is a backup plan in case Tyrin Lawrence doesn't return.

I know this sounds crazy - but we have so many players of Lawrence's basic profile (albeit none as experienced).
If I could choose, I might take a legit big over Tylaw returning.

They may fit Lawrence's basic profile, but I bet though don't perform nearly as well. Plus, he knows the offense. No, I choose Lawrence in a heartbeat over just about anyone still available.

I would rather not take McNair. I know he’s big and was often the first man off the bench for Mississippi State, but he couldn’t even break the starting lineup at New Mexico State.

Based on 30 minutes per game, he would average 8 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block.

We can do better.
