Transfer Portal 2026

See where Milan Momcilovic from Iowa St wasn’t listed as heading anywhere. He can fill it up !

He entered the NBA draft and my bet is he is a lottery pick

The staff have shown interest in Ole Miss big man James Scott. 6'10" rim protector who posted a 4.8 BPM in his junior season. Ultra low usage on offense but a 4.0 DBPM and 9% block rate, both top 10 in the portal.

Yeah. I am wondering about him too. Any chance for UC to pick him up?

It would certainly be CJC’s Herb Jones commit, but we could have had Thaim for less. Very doubtful.

Hastings posted a good bye to Boston College this evening. So maybe an announcement soon?

Any word on Hastings from Boston College? I know Tennessee has expressed interest...

He also declared for the NBA draft. Rumors also link him to Kentucky. Nothing yet however.

Has anyone heard if we have visitors on campus?

I look back at the 1999-2000 team that
went 29-4. Kenyon was 6-9, Micheal wa 6-8
Other starters were 6’ to 6’6”. We expecting aggressive play, getting after loose balls, CJC said they are going to steel the ball.
We are going to be a solid basketball team, I believe we have the best coach that truly wants to revive this program to greatness
We don’t need to overpay for a stiff 7 footer, but continue to get guys that will play both ends for 40 minutes.

Yeah, you have to remember that UC team had two future NBA starters (Martin (Nets) and Reuben Patterson (Portland Trailblazers)). Also, DeMarr Johnson, another player drafted into the NBA was on that team. Let's not forget Pete Mickeal was a 2nd round draft pick. Think about that for a minute. UC had 4 players drafted into the NBA from one team. That is big stuff.

Also, that team had some good size. For instance, DeMarr Johnson 6'9", Ryan Flecher 6'9", Jermaine Tate 6'9", BJ Grove 6'11", and Donald Little 6'10".

I said that to say this, the 1999-2000 team had size, talent, and great coaching. That team would have probably made the Final Four if Martin did not hurt his leg in the NCAA Tournament. Huggins did not start out attracting that kind of talent and size. However, once Huggins proved himself as a winning coach and a coach that could develop NBA level talent, he was able to attract big-time players. Hopefully, Calhoun can make a good name for himself by winning big games.

I have said too much already, but to make a story short, good teams usually have some size. A team needs some size to be versatile, especially when it gets to NCAA Tournament play. In Tournament play, a team never knows who it is going to play next. Three of the four teams in the Final Four this year all had good size (Michigan, Illinois, Arizona). UConn, probably the smallest of the Final Four teams, could hit you with a 6'11" center and bring another 7'1" center (Reibe) off the bench. It also had guards and wings with decent size.

The NCAA champion, Michigan, had a starting front line of 7'3", 6'9", and 6'9". That is championship level size. Good solid defense and rebounding, and consistent scoring are also very helpful.

NBA pre draft measurements showed Pete Micheal at 6' 5" w/o shoes...Kmart didn't measure at the NBA pre-draft camp apparently due to injury/rehab but if I remember correctly he was later measured at 6' 7.25" or maybe 6' 7.5" if I remember correctly...in any event, definitely under 6' 8" w/o shoes.

In the two years Calhoun coached at Utah State, they've been ranked 287 (25-26 season) and 212 (24-25 season) in defensive OR% (the percentage of offensive rebounds they allow the other team). Also 291 and 248 in defensive FTR. So the allowed a ton of offensive rebounds and sent the opponent to the free throw line a bunch.

A smaller lineup can certainly compete and out tough bigger guys. But the evidence says Calhoun has managed to overcome poor rebounding, not gotten his smaller guys to out tough the other team. Good teams can both play offense, rebound and defend. Calhoun has convinced me he can coach the former, but the latter two... especially with the current roster situation. Well it's setting up for him having a rude awakening as to what's needed in the big 12 and us fans hoping he figures it out in year two.

Give us a couple of quality big men (and/or Iweze being a 20+ minute per night guy) and my outlook will change quickly. But right now, I'm just not seeing a roster that will be able to compete a full season of big 12 level physicality.

Calhoun’s team also averaged almost 9 steals a game, and are real good free throw shooting teams. The skeptical negativity seems a little early. Chad Brendel has already stated no one in the Big 12 can compare themselves with Arizona for next season. Calhoun has signed players that fit his system, so I would give him time to fill the roster and let him coach. Do we need another big or two, absolutely but I love what he’s done so far.

I think our style will depend on who is on the floor. A lineup with Carson, Colvin, and Mahaffey will be able to defend and rebound. With Riley, Tejada, and Elamin on the floor, we'll be trying to outscore the opponent. Hopefully we can find the right balance.
