Is Jones in the portal? If not, we can’t be contacting him, no?Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2021, 9:31 pmRylan’s dad was stew’s long time assistant & lived in Logan. Utah hired Chris Jones around 2015 & they moved down there.
I can confirm Rylan & his dad have been back visiting in Logan recently.

There was a VERY real chance of Mason transferring to USU following his mission before the staff changes took place.

Stat wise his freshman year was similar to Rollie’s numbers. Not saying that means anything they are just similar.
I do think their is a connection there with Falslev. That’s the kid I really hope ends up here.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
I mean sure, in a perfect world we would get a 5 star transfer from Duke or Kansas that is exponentially better than Worster, but until that guy walks through the door, we gotta take all the other good players we can.Bank Shot wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2021, 8:43 pmI'm sorry if I hit a nerve regarding Jones. If he comes here and can take us to the next level (which is winning a tourney game vs a P5 school) then great. IMO we needed a big upgrade over Rollie to accomplish that. If Jones is that guy then I guess we can revel in the fact that Smith screwed up by taking Rollie with him. I just think in order to get to the next level we need an elite player at that position and from what 22 infers the coaching staff is aiming at something better than Rollie, Jones, and of course, Ashworth. Nothing against Ashworth either. I think he's a nice piece to the puzzle but not THAT guy and next year with no Sams, Quetas, etc. we need that type of guy.
If you guys watch enough U games to think he is, then I will feel better about it. But my initial reaction was why do we want to settle on a guy that is competing with Worster for minutes when we need (or should want) something much better. Good enough for Worster to be going to Utah as a backup PG, which I can't get my head around.
If I sounded like a Zoob, then I need a few days to lock myself in a room and puke my guts out.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Well exactly, that’s the point I was making. I just used hyperbole to illustrate what I was saying. So far Odom has just picked up low major guys from UMBC and I’d put Rylan Jones up against them.Bank Shot wrote:Sherfield, Stevens or Williams weren't 5* transfers from Duke or Kansas.

If Odom can do better than Jones, then by all means get the guy but So far he hasn’t been able to.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
I have a hard time getting excited about updates about us showing interest in a player or even contacting a player. I don’t begrudge those that do. When we offer a player I get more excited. But when we actually sign a player is when it gets real.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
I watched Rylan play a lot of AAU ball and he was legit. He was invited to a number of camps and was ranked in the top 5 in the nation during that time. I haven’t watched him play much at the U - if their fans aren’t watching how can they expect anyone else too - but if he did have Worster type stats his freshman year in the PAC 12 I’d say he’s an upgrade. I think he has all the skills we are looking for in a PG, but I haven’t seen him play recently. I thought he and Mason would have been a lethal guard combo

The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Any scuttlebutt on if the High Point PG (Wright) is leaning one way or another? Would love to have him. He’s dynamic and can both score at a high rate and distribute. He’s also only a sophomore. I think Boston College is recruiting him hard. Odom needs to GATA on this one.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
I'm glad we reached out. But if some of htose schools offer I have a hard time believing he will come here. He is from North Carolina and he has P5s after him. Again I'm glad we are after him though. I think we have alot to offer that some of those schools do not. Just have seen how this usually plays out.AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑May 4th, 2021, 2:13 pmAny scuttlebutt on if the High Point PG (Wright) is leaning one way or another? Would love to have him.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Any chance Odom or any of his staff have a previous connection with Wright? Considering he is coming from High Point (low major / east coast) I’m wondering if any of our new staff had recruited him while at UMBC. I’m too lazy to research it but just wondering out loud.slcagg wrote:I'm glad we reached out. But if some of htose schools offer I have a hard time believing he will come here.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Top 5 recruit in the nation? He was a top 5 recruit in the state of Utah, but never the nation.

You both are right in a way.

Yeah maybe. It is just hard to get excited about him because he was pretty bad last year. Other than Idaho State and UVU last year, he never made more than 2 shots in a game.

Sometimes guys are playing in a bad system. Sometimes the coach isn't using them correctly. Sometimes they just need a change of scenery.

The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
A couple transfer commitments of note:
Drew Buggs (Hawaii —> MO —> Winthrop). We had shown interest last year when he left Hawaii. Not sure if Odom’s staff had contacted him this go around or not.
Brandon Knapper (Eastern Kentucky —> San Jose St). Averaged 18+ pts in only 23 minutes. Tim Miles is doing well in the portal.
Lobos have 8-9 guys in the portal. Most of them are bench guys though. They did pick up some P5 transfers to add to the few good pieces that they are keeping (Maluach, Singleton, Manuel, Brown, Francis,...)

I wish at least one more of our bench guys would enter the portal. Once Rollie and Marco entered the portal, I was kinda hoping for more of an “Extreme Makeover: Aggie Roster Edition” this offseason, but that didn’t happen. Other than Ashworth, Shulga, and a tiny sliver of hope left with Bairstow, I am VERY bearish on our remaining returning bench guys.
I do really like the returning starters we have in Bean and Miller. If we get that penetrating pass first point god, Miller is going to take another leap next year if he can get healthy.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
A pass-first point god would be awesome! With Miller though, I don't buy it. We've all been waiting for Miller to take a "leap" since 2017. The Brock Miller we saw against Texas Tech is about all that can be expected, unfortunately. I am Barrish on McBuckets, Barristow, Shulga, and even Hamoda; they all have promise and significant potential. Will, they ever reach it? Who knows but Miller is who he is.ineptimusprime wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 9:01 amUNM and SJSU should be improved next year, which will only be good for the conference.AGGIEinIOWA wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 7:46 amA couple transfer commitments of note:

I do really like the returning starters we have in Bean and Miller. If we get that penetrating pass first point god, Miller is going to take another leap next year if he can get healthy.
Brock Miller was damn good this year until injuries hobbled him.

I am excited to see how Shulga develops, I am on my last legs with Bairstow (although I think he can be a useful MW player at the three spot). I am okay with the Hamoda signing, though I think a development type player is kind of a weird use of a scholarship right now (considering roster needs and the transfer portal era) unless the coaches are expecting a Neemi-like freshman year out of him.
Returns on McBuckets and Zapala have not been good.
No explanation on Liam is good for him. He has either been not good enough to get spot minutes, or too frail and oft injured to get spot minutes. Neither bodes well. Zapala was stuck on the depth chart behind Dorius, and while I appreciate what we got from Dorius, that doesn’t bode well for Zapala.
Just my thoughts!

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Very true for McChesney - on a team in desperate need of outside shooting last year and McChesney being hailed as an above-average outside shooter, the fact that he couldn't get off the bench is curious and disturbing.

For the last scholarship - do you look for a primary ball-handler/distributor type of a player? Or do you look for a guy that can lock down the best wing player on the other team? I think, with the loss of Anthony, we need the latter for than the former. We need someone long and athletic enough to be a lock-down wing/guard defender. We don't have Queta to make up for poor perimeter defense anymore.

I hope we have another scholarship come available because I hope we're not done after this.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Well, welcome Rylan Jones. He will be a useful player for us. Had a nice freshman year, was a 4-star recruit, and next year will just be a “do-over” of his disappointing season this year, cause he still has 3 years to play left.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 12:30 pmI hope we have another scholarship come available because I hope we're not done after this.
But I join you in hoping we can find at least one more scholarship.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
McChesney broke his ankle in December. Sometime after the College of Idaho game he appeared on the sideline with his foot in a boot and riding a scooter. He wasn't having a hard time getting off the bench - he wasn't even on it. He didn't dress the remainder of the season.Yossarian wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 12:00 pmineptimusprime wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 11:25 amYou describe being bullish on those guys, not bearish.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 11:06 amA pass-first point god would be awesome!

But I’ll note he was here for an entire season and never got even spot minutes when we could have used some shooting. He also never got even spot minutes at the beginning of this year before the injury.
I don’t think he’s a MW level player. I guess we’ll find out next year. I would love to be wrong about him.

Re: The hopefully definitive 2021 transfer portal thread
Brock got the minutes over Sean/Liam for a reason (Liam was available part of the season). At a minimum, Brock must have been more complimentary to the other pieces on the court but I assume he was a better overall player. Time will tell if Sean/Liam can take a leap forward and contribute more than Brock.
