The Mitchell Twins 6'10" and 6'9" just entered the portal.

Previously at Maryland and most recently Rhode Island.

Not suggesting I want him at MU, but Illinois G Andre Curbelo is in the portal.

As an avid A-10 follower, I'd want Michael Jones at MU 100%. Can score at all levels and an above-average defender.

I would NOT want the Mitchell twins though. They're athletic and are impressive on the defensive end, but can't score and are abysmal from the FT line. Maybe the offensive numbers will increase with less usage, but they certainly wouldn't be first on my list at MU.

I'd take Curbello.

No MU players in portal (yet).

That alone is some kind of achievement.

Banquet is 4/11.

Samuell Williamson, former Top 20 recruit, 6ft7, 210, from Louisville.
Was an MU target, who actually visited.

On side note, saw Bryce Golden from Butler put name in, let the player exits start.

Some keep talking about needing multiple players from portal. With the incoming freshmen, MU only has one spot open? Correct and does that include Elliott leaving?

Ben Vander Plas from Ohio has entered the portal, from Ripon.

I'd take Curbello.

He looked so bad this year. Granted he went through injuries and never cracked the rotation consistently. Man flashes of greatness followed by absolute bone headed plays. If he finds a good landing spot, he'll be able to take the next step, but I don't know if I would enjoy being a part of the Belo show lol.

Was just about to post this, love his game and would take him in a heartbeat. Not sure he fits the rangy, bouncy rebounder type that this roster craves. Regardless, will be a solid player making a step up next year.

Absolutely no way I touch Curbello

He can go to a mid major and be the popcorn show with them.

He was a complete liability for Illinois.

He shot the ball much better his first year - I really think the neck injury held him back big time. He'll get a fresh start at another high major. Zero percent chance he drops down a level.

Sean McNeil into the Portal from West Virginia.

Love his game. 6'3" shooting guard. Quick off the dribble, primarily a 3 and D guy.

We had a good look at him in Charleston. Solid numbers in the Big 12 this year.

nyg · « **Reply #315 on:** March 28, 2022, 04:50:08 PM »

OK, I'll try again.

How many openings does MU have, one?
Does that include Elliott?

Zero if Greg returns.

Thanks. I presume he is done, that is why Shaka offering/inquiring.
Then wait until probably Lewis returns from NBA combine and the input he gets.
Wait and see if any current players leaving.

Only asking because some on this board are saying MU needs multiple portal players, yet only one opening.

I would think they are keeping all options open knowing Lewis may leave which leads some to speculate on multiple players.

Absolutely not. Curbelo actually played for Marquette earlier this season. We couldn’t have won that game without him.

So do any of the coaches visit a possible transfer,or is it all by phone?

Yes, though in this economy they usually have the recruit visit the campus like a high school kid would.

Last year we had -1 roster spots and Shaka was still recruiting Darryl, Kur, Tyler, and OMAX.

Theres probably conversations behind the scenes with players and coaches on what type of PT to expect, how they will fit, and many other things.

Jose Perez, Dexter Akanno, and maybe a few others were kinda phased out and almost seemingly forced to transfer last year.

Do teams still have to release players? In the past MU would not release a player until he finished up the academic year.

KJ Williams of Murray State to the Portal.

Per Jeff Borzello

OVC Player of the Year KJ Williams is in the portal. Averaged 18.0 points and 8.4 rebounds. 6-foot-10 big man went for at least 30 points on four occasions. Career 35% 3-point shooter.

MONSTER addition to the Portal.
