An Iona PG is in the portal, Daniss Jenkins. He might be following Rick, but if he's available we should look. What stands out to me is 4.9 assists to 2.2 turnovers. 15.6 points and 36% from 3 are also nice.

He is a stud. Would love it. Could probably play off the ball next to Diggins/Keon, too.
We have made contact. It's a start. (I deleted a bunch of teams to save space. The link has the whole list.) Lots of competition.

Jordan Minor ain't happening. Visit list is P5s and Florida Gulf Coast.

Guess Puffers Pond doesn't compete with the beaches down there. Lol

Yikes. This is what I'm fearful about with Dyondre. I hope he gets everything he envisions, but I can't help but think that he's going to be disappointed and regret his decision to leave UMass and whatever our collective would have offered him.

Lot of players will get bad advice and get burned.

NIL + new transfer rules are completely reshaping the face of NCAA basketball...and probably not for the better.

St. Francis PA transfer Josh Cohen will officially visit Florida and Iowa this weekend, he tells @On3sports.

Will also re-visit Penn State the following weekend, since there was a coaching change.

Averaged 21.8 PTS and 8.3 REB this season.

Looks like this ain’t happening. Not getting the warm and fuzzies about UMass basketball right now.

Doesn't look promising. I'm starting to get worried about what level of player we are going to get to fill out the roster. We need 2 quality bigs and I don't see any on the horizon.

Yeah… I am starting to worry that next season might be very bad. Luis and Cross are very good but without anything above average around them we aren’t going .500.

Too soon to panic, we don't really know what is or isn't happening yet.

Hope he enjoys his visits! But not as much as the UMass visit.
