Now that there is one remaining scholarship, IF Mballa ends up being able to play next season (big if), how do you want to see the last spot used? Freshman forward (Nigel John?), freshman or grad transfer guard? (Immediate eligibility) a transfer that sits 1 and plays however many? Or should we save the last spot for the 2020 class?

Good morning everyone. I think a commit is on the way, Jenkins tweeted this out just now.

The newest rankings have Nickelberry as the #24 JUCO recruit in the country

Were they having issues with this type of thing?

I agree I’m getting antsy as well but we will land our big sometime this summer and we may very well save our last open spot. I find it reassuring however that we’ve made offers to some very high 3 and 4 stars for next years class. Shows that they aren’t going to just sit around and stay the same, they will try keeping this thing going

Can’t find much on him at all

Feel like it’s a good move for him. He’s a great player, but sometimes tries to do too much and hurts his team, like when they played us in Buffalo this season

Well so much for that

I personally want Marial Mading from Rhode Island. 3 star 6’11 redshirt Freshman that just hit the transfer portal. Has a lot of Kevin Durant to his game

Good detective work, thanks! It would also make a lot of sense given Jenkins JUCO roots

Coach Jenkins is in Miami, any significance to this or do you think it’s just a vacation?

Yay another guard

I believe he can play now as a grad transfer

Thought the same thing, never was a fan of the trash talking players. The ones that kill other teams quietly Definitely got Perk vibes from it. He looks like he’d be an awesome addition to the team

He’s listed at 6’9 250 now, and spent his freshman and sophomore years with Wichita St. I like it all around.

I hope he develops and surprises people, but from what we’ve seen of him, he lacks the lateral quickness to be an even halfway decent defender and it ends up with him fouling a lot. I hope we land a surprise transfer big because our current forward depth is going to lead to us being bullied by anyone with a halfway decent big

Good point, it’s definitely asking a lot. Only real solution for that I’d say is the transfer market and even then the ones that are eligible immediately are getting scooped up left and right. Might be a season similar to the one where Kadiri was our “big”

Tough luck but it makes sense after getting Gallion. It gives us room to possibly land Notae or Marco who have actual experience. We need depth at big baaaadly

The thing is he bought that house from the owner of the BAC gym. Based off of what I’ve heard, the BAC owner loved hosting parties at the place on a regular basis. Not really sure what Oats could’ve possibly put 100k into unless the previous owner was fine with plenty of people seeing his outdated home

I meant more like the actual number of players transferring is crazy. Even as you said since it’s now public knowledge maybe seeing an actual number for it changes perception of it. Still crazy to think that there’s that many transfers on a yearly basis

I think it’s kind of ridiculous the amount of players that are in the portal this year, but hey that’s just me

I’d have to disagree about the star performer part. The talent that is still unsigned as well as the players that are in the transfer portal still means there’s plenty of potential still out there. Yes CJ being an overlooked 2 star ending up being arguably the best player in school history is rare and unlikely to be repeated, but when there’s still unsigned 3 stars and P5 players in the transfer portal, I still think we can get some key contributors. Only uncertain for me is whether the player(s) we bring in will have to sit a year then play or if they’ll be freshmen/grad transfers

Tons of talent still out there including players entering the transfer portal still, I feel like some late summer signings are coming. I just hate waiting lol

I think he’s referring to how Rojas and Hodgson have the Jamestown connection and are actual friends not just coach and player and suddenly Rojas is chopped liver to him

Players can still sign with the team to play for us up until the semester begins I believe, only difference is rather than signing a letter of intent they come to a scholarship agreement which seem like the same thing but apparently are different things
