He was originally listed as 2024 and is now listed as 2025 so I guess he could reclass. I think Malek only has 1 year left so this might not be a bad idea. Bring him in and let him learn for a year and he probably is the starting center in 2025. Of course, there is a lot of sentiment toward bringing...

Yes. There's a full hour one out now.

This may explain why Frank went after him. Adam Wells is the Sports Director for the local TV station in Paducah, KY, which covers Murray State. Adam Wells @TheAdamBWells Feb 14 It is a shame that Malek Abdelgowad has been injured for most of the season for Murray State. The more he plays, you can t...

Like it or not, Frank is counting on a huge jump in year two for at least 1 of our 2 transfer bigs. They both have potential. If one of them blossoms, we'll be OK with Daniel at the 4. If they both blossom we will have depth at the 5 for the first time in a long time. If neither come through we are ...

^ As I mentioned in the other thread, he wasn't official last night and Steele probably should not have let it slip. Anyway, glad we got him. He had other transfer offers. NIL SearchSZN @umassmafia015 Replying to @DeanWende1 Definitely flew under radar had 3 high major offers from penn st, ND and Ok...

I am a member, but I'm not interested in this insider's club concept. I think it's incredibly lame. I mean, one of the best posters on this board, 69MG, had to delete a post because it violated some secret code? I don't know. Lame. I understand. Steele probably let the name slip and he shouldn't ha...

I was late and didn't hear that part. The only thing I heard him ask not to mention was a P5 out of conference game they are scheduling. As I said, I was late so I missed the initial discussion on the new mystery player. I have deleted my post.

Thought we had 2 spots left. How 'bout both? Count me in. I think what Niles is saying is that if we get a Tre Mitchell level center, we can survive without another shooter. If we get a guy that hits 40% or better from 3 consistently, we can make do with an average center. I'm sure Niles will fill ...

^ I'll add one more thing that Pat has stated in the past. Coaches are NOT allowed to contribute to a collective.

^ Here are the top uncommitted centers in the portal according to 247Sports. Pick us a winner, Frank.

I'm starting to think that Gray is not coming here. He transferred to Frank (South Carolina) from LSU and he played for Frank for 1 year (11 minutes/game). Why wouldn't he have made the move already if he was coming?

Maybe we better start looking at other candidates for center.

Look at 69MG pulling the UMass Basketball puppet strings! Well done. :wink: When you retire, you'll have more time to spend doing semi-useless things like scanning the portal for potential prospects. Every now and then you hit one. I did see Frank posted 3 sets of eyes, so maybe 1 more to drop this...

I agree that a 3-point shooter and a physical center who can defend and rebound should be the last 2 slots we fill. It's just like Frank to pull in 2 guys who were not even on our radar before today. However, I'll give myself a small pat on the back for this one: Post by 69MG » Thu Mar 21, 2024 1:21...

A bright spot ----- Akil was 11/12 from the free throw line last year!
