Re: KAEO Daniel Hankins-Sanford

Looks pretty obvious to my eyes that we need to get another big in the portal. Mason and Majok barely got their feet wet last season. Time for another rent-a-center for a year while Mason develops.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

That's very interesting. Starting to sound like a real possibility.

How do you think it will work out, especially for UMass?

Re: KAEO Keon Thompson

I think this is a mistake for Keon as he clearly is more of a system player as he can’t shoot and probably will never be a shooter based on how he shoots. . Like many players who left last year. I think you will see Keon regress and hurt his chances to play pro ball somewhere down the road. He was ...

Re: KAEO Daniel Hankins-Sanford

I agree. It's good and we didn't get to see all he has to give yet. Will say that he did get a lot of practice this year too that we didn't see. They know what they are doing and we know enough from what we saw he's worth an NIL commitment. Could DHS and Cross be a prime duo next year, like Lasme an...

Assistant B. Steele and UMass basketball started following him on twitter last 2 days
Oh wow. Thanks for lmk. He'd be a good replacement for Cohen.

Re: 2024-25 Season

Chad Venning is leaving the Bonnies. He'd be interesting, I think.

Yes, Cross is the big one as he's a rare mix of talent and heart.

Re: 2024-25 Season

Yes, we are good at getting guys to come here. So hard to retain them. They all want minutes and prefer to do things their way. Can we possibly return 3 from our starting lineup and 5 of the top 8? If so, I think we will be competitive next season. Just got to effectively fill holes while maintainin...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Not sure what happened to Gianni Thompson, out of hs 24/7 had him ranked as four stars, #1 in Ma, #25 PF, and nationally # 122. He had offers from Xavier, Temple, Penn State, VCU, Richmond, VT, Providence and more. Hopefully he finds a fit that is right for him to grow and have success. I have a fe...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

" I didn't think leaving was an option" is an odd statement. As well as it not working at UMass. Sounds like a money thing, not a basketball thing. I would like to invite Cohen to have sex with himself.. and we all should feel the same way. :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops:...

Jonathan Beagle from Albany is in the portal. Could be a good backup.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Verbal Commits reports that Gianni Thompson has entered the portal. No big shocker there. As long as he finds a home, it opens up his scholarship.

Re: 2024 Recruiting

It's tough with centers because they want PT. They look at who else is on the squad an potential minutes really matter when they make their choices, in my opinion.

Right now we have minutes available to attract a decent big.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse and he'll sign quickly.
