Another one enters the portal...

 

 

[mundyc3]

I think I am okay with that. 

[Rosegreen]

He’ll be productive elsewhere.
 

Didn’t play all season and was thrown into the lineup in the tournaments and did well considering the circumstances. 

[quickdraw]

Not a surprise and I doubt he would have played that much more next year. Both Shane and Jackie want to play more and have some fun. That probably won’t happen here. We need substantial improvement at the SG position and need it right now.

Best of luck moving forward Shane and Jackie.

[quickdraw]

The roster has been updated in the first post. 4 scholarships open at this point and well needed.

Isaiah Cottrell returns.

I know Nowell battled some health issues this season but overall was hugely disappointing. I remember there were a handful of games during the 2nd half of the 22-23 season where he was remarkably good and looked on the verge of breaking out, to no avail. Kind of similar to Hicks this year so I hope he doesn't pull a Nowell next year.

Anyhoo, probably a good move for both parties and I wish Nowell the best with whatever WAC/ Big Sky program he joins.

So far so good with UNLV's transfer entries --------- Cottrell might want to take a look at transfer !

Well, Cottrell did give us a bit of value at the very end of this season but overall has been a huge bust. I do think he could provide some bench value next year as a 3 point threat but I don't anticipate him being a key player in the rotation.

Cottrell was the most confounding of the incoming transfers - A 6-11 guy who played like he was 6-2 and defense was mostly an option to be avoided -- He must have peaked in HS to get looks from P5 programs & sign with WVA, because from this last seasons showing, he's more Big Sky level

While his play has been bewildering he has been a great PR guy for the program. He might have more relationships within the local area and therefore other reasons to stay even in a reduced role. I don’t see where there would be much more to expect from him than what we have already seen.

I'd like to see what Cotrell can do with a healthy off-season conditioning l.

Brooklyn Hicks returns. Huge news. 

[quickdraw]

 

[quickdraw]

Brooklyn has a much bigger game than we saw last year. He grave up his offense to focus on defense and being the all supportive and coachable freshman. I hope and expect to see him get a little more assertive in the offense next year.

Not too impressed with Henley. 6-7 guy on to his third school in as many years, that isn’t very good at rebounding, averaged around 9 ppg, and doesn’t shoot very well from the outside. Unless he’s a shutdown defender I don’t see the point.
