MM I expected. Saunders is a surprise to me. These guys don't want to do what it takes to get better. Instead it's easier to just go somewhere else and assume everything will be better. Also I'm wondering what's going on with DDJ?

Saunders didn't surprise me because he went in the portal once (meaning he was not recruited by the current staff) and had a solid role this year, but if he's expecting to be the start starting PG next year, I just don't see it. And, with that in mind, I am hoping they can land a transfer PG who is an upgrade.

Best of luck to Mike / Mikey / Ice Mike / Michael

Madsen I get... thought Sanders was increasing playing time etc

Mike Saunders to the transfer portal, per Jake Weingarten.

No surprise for me. I had him and Madsen on my mental list of most likely to hit the portal.

This is good news. I still think he could be a very good ball player but he needs to obtain some low post skills to round out his resume. Like CWM says it would be advantageous to be multi faceted in the offense.

Viktor Lakhin WILL return, per Chad Brendel tweeting about Vik's IG post


Confirmed staying: John Newman III, Viktor Lakhin
Incoming freshmen: Josh Reed, Daniel Skillings, Sage Tolentino
One open scholarship as it stands, with surely others still mulling their options

The cats need at least 2 transfers and a third would not hurt. Open the door CWM as even Bearcat journal sized up a few guys honestly.

Banks was never coming back on scholarship. Still only one new spot open. .... Ado, Koval, Banks, Madsen out, three freshmen coming in.

Good point.

Now there are two slots for transfers. CB said look for 3 . I think we might be shocked if CWM has the guts to open the door

Kid can play but was handicapped by his in between size. Really a guard size but didn't have the handle and too small for an effective wing. I wish him well and appreciate his efforts.

I dont know anything specific but it seems like if things continue with Russia's aggression that VL may have to leave either for his own safety or otherwise

If I were Vik, I wouldn't go anywhere near Russia right now. There's a chance that he could wind up a conscript.
