Portal MBB 2025

[JoleonLescottsHair]

We could perhaps use this thread to follow those announcing they have entered the portal.

I'm in. Maybe start following St. Johns.
Oh, you mean players?

Can't wait to see who "1000% committed"

Retitled this for that purpose.

So far, according to "VerbalCommits.com", 111 players have announced that they are entering the portal. None from UMass yet. Glad we centralized this topic as it should get hot the next 2 weeks.

The portal doesn't open until 3/24. Exceptions for grad students and players whose coach has left.

Are the dates the same for WBB and MBB? Because on the women's side we've heard that Sorrentino will be leaving. (Sorrentino would be a grad transfer, to your point.) So whether or not they're actually in, if the player has made up their mind, that's the same difference.

^ 3/25 for the ladies.

Here is a name to keep an eye on.
Colby Duggan 6’7” Sophomore F Campbell University from Monson MA.
15.7ppg 46.1% FG 34% 3pt 72.6% FT

Maybe he grew up a UMass fan

4.4 rpgs per 40, and 34% from 3, doesn't excite me.
We need either skilled on both ends 5s or shooters.

You mean 1000% committed to going to the highest bidder?

His 3pt % is almost identical to Curry and well above Diggins. If yiu aren’t interested in him are you interested in keeping Curry/Diggins?

I'd like to keep Curry.
Has Diggins indicated he wants to try for a 5th year anywhere? If so, yes, I'd like to keep him as well.

But assuming Duggan is either a 3 or 4, his stats aren't thrilling me enough to replace what Ndjigue brings in hustle, boards aren't good enough to replace Rivera, and nowhere near enough to bump DHS out of the 4 (assuming DHS doesn't just play the 5 next season).

[NilesGold]

I haven’t watched Duggan play and I don’t have a strong opinion of him, but he’s not just a 3pt shooter. At a glance it appears to me as though he just might have more ability and value than anyone currently on our roster…. So it’s kind of weird to me that your main response is that he doesn’t excite you. Our entire roster has to be overhauled, we are probably going to get an add players who are a lot worse than Duggan (hopefully also some who are better).
