Interesting that the only name associated with WSU in pin's list above is Daniel Utomi of the Akron Zips, which almost sounds like a band: "Utomi and the Zips can really get down, man."

Also, if I remember correctly, there were several posters on here who were very high on Zach Naylor before he went to Mississippi. Don't know about 3G, but the SN coaching staff liked him.

There's a couple guys from Valpo looking for new homes.

Derrik Smits, 7'1", 240, RS Jr. C, 12.2 ppg 5.7 rpg
Javon Freeman, 6'3", 175, Fr G, 11.0 ppg 4.3 rpg 1.8 spg
Marcus Golder, 6'6", 185, RS Jr G/F, 9.8 ppg 3.8 rpg
Bakari Evelyn, 6'2", 180 RS Jr G, 8.4 ppg 2.4 rpg.

Saw SHJ's teammate from Hutch on the list (wishful thinking).

"The SN Coaching staff....." perfect!

I like this:

James “Beetle” Bolden, 6-0, 170, G, West Virginia
Stats: 12.2 ppg
Quick Scout: “He has to be a two. Good rhythm shooter, but needs to be in a system where he can catch and shoot.”
Schools: N/A

[Aargh]

6'0" SG who shoots 40% from the floor and 35% on 3's would be a slight upgrade to a graduating player who has received a lot of criticism on this board. I've never been fond of 6'0" SG's.They have to work so hard on the defensive end that it affects their shooting - at least that's my theory.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

I understand what you are saying and without knowing a ton specifically about Bolden, having a true catch and shoot guy is something this team really needed this year. SHJ was not that, so I think it is apples and oranges. SHJ is more of a catch and dribble, move, dribble, move, cross over, drive, back up, dribble, move, then shoot guy.

Though I think the team could use his ability to play some minutes at the 4 next season, Brown has to transfer. We have to break up the 2022 7 man graduating class as much as possible. Brown seems like the only real possibility to trim that down a little, while not lossing much.

It looks like Chandler is the only real possibility out of the true freshmen who could request a transfer, but I’m not sure how likely that is now that he is in the rotation. Plus he has shown himself to be be highly skilled with great upside. No one wants to see him leave.

There is the possibility that Udeze redshirts next season to strengthen his shoulder. If Chandler stays this offseason I really hope Udeze strongly considers going this route. With AM and JE locking down essentially all the minutes at the 5 next season, Chandler and Udeze will be fighting for who plays the remaining 3 mpg...

Without banking on any of the 7 to go pro, which is a possibility, but since it’s happen here once in the last 30 years not the most likely, having Brown transfer has to happen to help avoid another complete rebuild.

[Shock Top]

Rod Brown. Great kid, but struggle to see where he fits in the rotation. I'd be surprised if he's not somewhere else next season.

[Dan]

I'm not really worried about Chandler or Udeze from a minutes perspective because both of them will be primed for more minutes as soon as JE graduates. Both have work to do to make their games more well rounded and at least Chandler could make himself a part time 4 man if he buckled down and got into better shape. I too would like to see Udeze redshirt but I bet it's killing him to be sitting on the sidelines this year. I can't imagine him agreeing to do it again for another year. It seems like an eternity when you're a 19-20 year old kid.

I would guess Rod as the most logical option. We also have 2 point guards that can't shoot outside the 3 point stripe that need some serious off season improvement if they are going to help us get to the next level, although one only has a year left.

Gregg talks about getting old and staying old. If Morris would redshirt next year, we are set for at the 5 for at least the next two seasons and headed in the right direction for a third.

2019-20: Jaime (Sr), Asbjorn (Jr), Isaiah (Soph)
2020-21: Asbjorn (Sr), Isaiah (Jr), Morris (Soph)
2021-22: Isaiah (Sr), Morris (Jr), unnamed future recruit

HOLY SHITT........a move toward instant eligibility

[WstateU]

They want to open the floodgates...

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

Free Agency. I don't think I like it. Football and the portal is becoming a bit of a mess...wonder what coaches think. I bet the guys GETTING players love it. The guys LOSING them, not so much.

[shock]

Its not a free agency. You could transfer one year without sitting out if you meet a minimum GPA. I like it. Lose your scholarship? Sit out. Need a change of scenery because your coach suck at developing talent and didn’t get you into the NBA? Find a better fit.
