Any word on Bandaogo?

Yes Duke is said to be very interested and they just had someone transfer out today.

Any word on Bandaogo?

Georgia has landed Division II player of the year RJ Sunahara. I believe he is the son of Reed Sunahara, the former UC volleyball coach who now coaches at West Virginia.

@jeffborzello:

Deadline day! (Kind of.) The transfer portal window slams shut later today — but that doesn’t mean it’s the final day of transfers. Names will trickle out as paperwork gets processed. More importantly, portal window rules don’t apply to graduate transfers, so those won’t stop.

Brendel on the radio today said this is one to keep an eye on.

Interesting timing with a scholly opening when MAW entered the portal.

C Aziz Bandaogo from Utah Valley is the portal today. This the guy that killed us on interior defense during the NIT.

He’s citing mental health as a reason for leaving. Not sure what that’s about to be honest.

Matthew Cleveland, a 6’7 sophomore from Atlanta who led FSU in scoring at 13.8 ppg, entering the portal. He will be highly coveted but seems like the type of kid who would be a good replacement for Landers Nolley.

What is up at UCF? 5 departures and zero commits for next season?

Basketball plays mid week road games. The closest and easiest road trips will be Cincy, WVU, and Houston. The travel will be worse for them than any newcomer.

Random name I'm dropping in here -- Kansas State's Ismael Massoud. The 6'9 forward from New York averaged just 5.4 and 1.7 but had 15 (including 4/6 from three) in Kansas State's Sweet 16 win versus Michigan State. Good outside shooting #s.

He played his first two seasons at Wake Forest, the same years Ody Oguama was there. Will be a grad transfer.

Hard to convince anyone that going to California will help your mental health.

Depends on if you like the outdoors. When I first graduated from UC I took a job with a startup near San Francisco. Whenever I had free time you’d find me at Muir Woods or Point Reyes, or Golden Gate. I don’t know how many times I went to Yosemite in my 4 years there. I loved it.
