How former UMass players have fared after entering the portal

[69MG]

Here is an update on the noteworthy transfers from the last few years.

Tre Wood - George Mason - 7 minutes, buried deep on the bench
Noah - Rutgers - 28 minutes, 9 points, only 2.3 assists
Sy Chatman - Buffalo - 31 minutes, 16.7 points, 6.7 boards, 1.5 blocks
Preston Santos - SNHU (yes, they have a BB team) - missed a few games, 16 minutes, 5.7 points, 4 rebounds
Wildens Leveque - Texas A&M - 11 minutes, 2.5 points, 3.5 rebounds
Javohn Garcia - McNeese State - 28 minutes, 9.4 points, now at 46% from 3
Ronnie DeGray - Wichita State - can now play per Court decision, 2 games, 18 minutes, 3 points, 5 rebounds
Dyondre Dominguez - Arkansas State - 30 minutes, 12.6 points, 8.7 rebounds
Cairo McCrory - stopped playing BB after leaving UMass. I think it was injury related.
Mitchell - KY - 34 minues, 13.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks
Luis - St. Johns - only 2 games due to injuries, 17 minutes, 10 points
Gapare - GA Tech - 9 games, 17 minutes, 5.1 points, 37.5% from the field, 25% from three
Weeks - Rider - 29 minutes, 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, only 28% from three. Tyriek hardly gets off the bench.

I blame that on McCall. It was his program and didn't see what he had in Sean. He's better off now anyway, good for him. Kid is a player

Some interesting math there, a guy who saw someone 28 times a year for 40 minutes at a time had a better perspective than someone who saw them every day and had access to any significant interactions the person had with any and all staff in all areas.

That’s a pretty strong implication there.

^ Just a general statement that just watching someone play doesn’t mean you have any real knowledge about them, especially when combined with the statement that they were asked to leave the program.

No math involved, just my perspective. McCall seemed to have a tough time getting (outside of what Tony brought in) and retaining talented players which is most likely why he was let go. Record speaks for itself

Looks like Tre Mitchell is still playing a lot and performing well for Kentucky.

I hope TJ isn't taking minutes from Tyriek.

Rick Pitino has said RJ Luis has the most potential of anyone he's coached in his career

OUCH!!!

[natwam2547]

Slick Dick Rick taking any shot he can to get into the heads of Umass fans.

[69MG]

^ You know what "potential" can get you --- FIRED. RJ is shooting 38% from the field and 17% from 3. It's only 4 games after coming back from injuries, so let's see how the season plays out.

I must admit I wish he was still here.

Watched a little of that St. Johns/Butler game and I saw Jalen Thomas was playing for Butler. The same Jalen Thomas who almost came here? Wasn't that like 10 yrs ago?

[MikeUMA]

Dyondre 26 & 12 last night. The 26 a new career high.

It may feel like that long ago but it was *only* 2019. That is the same Jalen Thomas btw. Played three years at Georgia State and now in his second season at Butler.
