Bryson Spell is headed to Liberty.
They're projected to be top 50 on barttorvik this year. Perfect for his style of play too.

We aren't getting Kmart but maybe we can get someone like Ellis (in terms of mobility)
Scratch Paulicap off the list. He committed to West Virginia yesterday.The two frontcourt transfers from DePaul (Ongenda and Paulicap) have similar statistical profiles to Ellis.
Sounds like a uncg player about to join... Doesn't exactly move the needle a ton... But it's a body.
Hoping it's Hayden Koval who just recently entered the portal.
The Juco tournament is going on now. Dalen Ridgnal's 8 seed team took down the 1 seed yesterday. Ridgnal had 26 pts and 13 rebounds. I would love to get this guy.Another 6'6" guy. His team played at a crazy high pace - most scores were well in the 100s. So that he means his raw totals (21 pts, 13 reb) are a little inflated, but he has the stamina for a high tempo. Shot 38% from three on 5 attempts per game and 86% at the line, good for a 60% true shooting percentage. He's a balanced scorer.
Watching some of his highlights, DeGray reminds me of a poor man's Kyle Washington. He has a funky shot, which is almost a shotput motion. The unconventional release point and timing throws defenders off in the lane. Seems like he would have the same role as Hensley, so I'm not sure if we are actually still pursuing him. I'd say DeGray has better handles and a more polished offensive game right now, but Hensley appears more athletic and probably has a higher ceiling.We're talking to Ronnie DeGray, 6'7" freshman forward from UMass. Had a true shooting percentage above 60, including 37% from three on less than two attempts per game and an unsustainable 12-17 from midrange. Below average defense according to BPR. Was a 3 star recruit ranked #411.
4 of the 24 good rebounders committed today: Diabate, Disu, Kuath, and Minaya. CisseThere are 24 transfers available who have an 8+ OReb rate that played at least 15 mpg.
AJ McGinnis is in the portal from UNCG. 6'3" freshman guard who played 14 mpg. Average shooter and below average defender per BPR. I'm not a fan of bringing another young guard in right now. I mention him only because any UNCG player who enters the portal seems like a possibility.

and Bohannon were added, so the list stands at 22.
Naz Bohannon from Youngstown St is an intriguing possibility. He's a 6'6" forward who in addition to great rebounding (YSU's all time leading rebounder) is a good scorer with a good assist rate and low foul rate. He only has one year of eligibility remaining to open another wing spot for an incoming freshman, and he's from Ohio so we may have a chance. We apparently offered him a football scholarship as a defensive end, so he would be the kind of physical inside presence we're looking for, even if only 6'6".
So we punting on Lil Paul and McCaffery? No way I take another guard unless DDJ is done. We only need add 6’6+ guys.Looks like we are about to sign him, Bearcat eyes are out... just call us the UC Spartans.... Not a fan of this signing, I hope he proves me wrong
