Keenan Henderson Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Max and Texas got some more help through the portal today. They have a commitment from UT Arlington's freshman of the year in the WAC (Weaver 9.5 points and 4.6 rebounds) and a 6'8 forward from UTEP (Zedrik 7 points and 4 rebounds). Neither is an all star but both can help off the bench. Longhorns reloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I can't get over all the so-called college basketball experts gushing that Grant Nelson from NDSU is the best player to enter the portal so far this off-season. Pretty obvious they haven't watched him as much as we have, and don't realize how much he disappears at key stretches in games, and sometimes just downright quits when things aren't going well. Wondering if the big schools with smart coaches will be as enamored with him as the media, once they watch his film. If he does indeed transfer instead of going pro overseas, it wouldn't be surprising to see him fall to a solid mid-major such as a San Diego State or Nevada, or to a needy P5 like a Wisconsin or Iowa. But to the likes of a Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina or Kansas, as has been suggested? Very doubtful... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Grant Nelson is good at a lot of things but not great at anything. He led NDSU in every category (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks). That is very unique at 6'11 for anyone to do that and pretty sure no one else in the country did that at his size. Now that is a big jump to go from NDSU to a blue blood program and Nelson would mostly be a bench player if he did. If I was a GM and had a low second round pick with a really good NBA team: Denver, Boston or even Golden State, then I would roll the dice and take a chance on Nelson just because he has such a unique skill set for a 6'11 guy. What would you have to lose, if he were a bust then you still have a good team and it really does not matter. He shoots about 30 from three and in the end Nelson will have to improve on that to make it in league. He could maybe make it as a stretch 4 in the NBA someday.

Keenan Henderson Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Kansas just had a 6'9 center named Zuby (great name) Eibofor enter the transfer portal. He is a big man who is skilled around the basket and is from the Dallas area. He basically sat on the bench last year and left because Kansas got Hunter Dickinson. Time for Coach to get on the phone and reel the guy in! We are going fishing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defense was good but his offense and rebounding never developed. I wish him all the best! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I guess that officially closes the books on all of ORU's transfers/potential transfers. Shocked not a single player followed Mills to WSU. Best of luck to all those guys whether they stayed, transferred, or went pro. The 2022-23 season was a special one for ORUMBB. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Vanover - I could still see him going to Wichita State; the Germany kid that's transferring there is a post man, not a stretch four like Connor. Mills would let him keep shooting those threes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Today is the last day to enter the portal (May 11th) or if a player does enter later on, then they have to sit out another year. Will there be any interesting moves at the last minute: Kansas just had another big guy enter the portal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
