Possible Portal Point Guards

[Cuse1055]

Javon Small - Oklahoma St. - 6-3, 195
This past season he averaged 15.1 points, 4.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds while shooting 44.1% from the field, including 37.4% from three.

Aidan Mahaney - Saint Mary's - 6-3, 180
More of a combo guard who averaged 13.9 PPG shooting 38.6% from the field and 35.5% from three.

Devion Smith - Utah - 6-0, 173
One year of eligibility. Averaged 13.3 points, 7.1 assists, 6.3 rebounds while shooting 40.8% from three.

Dallin Hall - South Florida - 6-4, 200
He averaged 9.0 points, 5.1 assists, and shot 35.9 percent from deep this season.

AJ Hoggard is a big PG who is now available as a grad transfer as mentioned above.

And of course there is Kadary (but we know isn't a 3 point shooter). I'd also still be intrigued with DJ Wagner (shot needs work).

Rumor is Wagner is between Arkansas (Calipari) and USC (I heard his gf is an athlete there).

Meh. Too redundant with Carlos. There’s a reason Posh’s teams are never any good.

I agree but it doesn’t seem they are in on Mitchell, Smith or any of the other top shelf PGs left in the portal.

I was just about to say… what about BJ Freeman or Javon Small? Both seem ideal. Arizona State seems like an awful choice for Freeman. What about Hoggard, Posh Alexander or D. Claude from Xavier?

For what's available right now my choices would be Hawkins/Hoggard/Smith.

If this means the same thing it did back in the day then I'll pass on the adventure.

In this case, let go all marrone on you and say the meanings are "multiple"

Hopefully we'll get someone decent.

If we're stuck starting Carlos, it will be like Jesse/McLeod situation last year... Replace the leaving starter with a backup...

Wouldn't be a good look for Red with a full season behind him.

I didn't include Hawkins. For some reason I thought I saw he had committed already.

We’ve got 3 roster spots still open- to not address he position aggressively would be amateur hour. Just don’t see that happening with Red

 

[rrlbees]

Smith

 

[Orangezoo]

Smith

Target ? Or just preference?

I have no doubt we'll get players in to fill the spots... I guess the question is will they be what we need or just who we could get??

 

[rrlbees]

Sorry. Preference.

 

[Cuse1055]

Seeing Creighton get a guy like Pop Isaacs is just annoying to see. There’s no way Creighton has more NIL than us. And there should be no way that programs like Creighton, Xavier, Butler and Providence should have more success than us.

They can have Isaacs. He’s a horribly inefficient offensive player.

Yeah that’s not a great pickup

I'm willing to bet they do.

 

[Cuse1055]

I'm willing to bet they do.

Sad if true.

Red on his way to East Lansing

Not enough NIL to afford a plane ticket.

No plan B after the Pig.

 

[Sbucketball]

Well, I hope for Red’s sake our PG next year is better than Junior year Copeland, or else a lot of fans will give Red a hard time, regardless of what’s said on here about him.

There may be no Junior year Copeland anywhere if rumors of him not going to class are true.

You do realize that all of these individuals - with the possible exception of the USF kid - will command much more than the kid we were going after, right?

Wonder if he’s taking classes somewhere to try to catch up, if it’s true. Not any noise from the portal about him.

Definitely is interesting that there hasn’t been a peep about him even visiting anywhere.

Yes. Yes, I do. So maybe we allot more NIL for one of the said players. Dakota was our choice one. Miss. Reassess and move on...

Online classes through UNC.
