Norchad Omier in the portal. 6'7" PF was a monster rebounder for Arkansas State.

Not sure if I missed this earlier in the thread, but looks like we can knock one of the big targets off our list.

Utah Valley transfer Fardaws Aimaq is focusing on the following five schools in his recruitment:

Arkansas
Kentucky
Iowa
Texas Tech
Washington

Aimaq averaged 18.9PPG and 13.6RPG in 21-22. One of the best transfers available.

One of those things is not like the others

He's from Vancouver. Washington would allow him to play in front of family.

Yes please.  Although Im guessing he'll have his pick of just about anywhere.

I believe Paint Touches mentioned our staff has reached out to 7 recruits in transfer portal as of today. 1 has just committed elsewhere and we didn't make a final list for the other. Its not a great start and I think most fans would agree. Not saying the sky is falling, but the immediate defensiveness is funny to see

It is very early in the free agency market, and I am not going to get too rattled because we lost a couple of guys. To be honest, aside from Morsell, I had not heard of Kolek, OMax or Kur prior to their signing and I think overall that was a pretty good group of players he brought in last year.

I think we are undervaluing the portal moves last year.

Kolek, Morsell, OMax, Kuath were all starters that were thrown on a new roster with tons of Freshman and inexperienced guys that hadn't played much or any college hoops.

Getting to the dance was unexpected and quite the accomplishment.

I think Shaka did a helluva job in the portal last year and expect similar results this year.

I think so too.  There will just be less movement because the roster is already complete for the most part whereas last year was a complete restart.

Shaka did A-OK last year, especially considering the timing of his hire. Going forward, he needs to do better, both in the portal and H.S. recruiting, and I think he will. Assuming Lewis leaves, we need more talent at every single position.

Shaka's got another year or two of goodwill; hopefully he never sees the infamous hot seat. That's why he gets the big bucks!

Shaka did well in the portal we don't need 5 new starters we have plenty of talent going forward most of our guys were playing there first year in the big east...just need to add a couple pieces and keep building on what we got

Hillsdale eh? Any of those schools would be quite the culture shift for him

How much worse is DII talent than Juco?
If you can't get a DI stud just dip into the DII pool eh?

Duncan Robinson moved up from Division III to play at Michigan.  Worked out for Creighton bringing in Ryan Hawkins from DII.
