UMass transfer portal news - 2024

[69MG]

^ He entered the portal but has not found a home yet. A shooter, a PG or another big, that is the question. Only have room for 1 of them.

^ PG who can shoot, please.

One who is also big.

I expect a totally different offense next year. Probably more of a run and gun and press, if we can press better than we did under MM.

maybe there will be some wrinkles into the offense but frank aint changing his stripes. he belives in post play, rebounding and playing tough. This isnot the DK/Vance Walberg era

^ PG who can shoot, please.

I like that idea. Unfortunately, Buggs doesn't fit that. In his 2 healthy years of D1 BB, he only averaged 1 assist in 30 minutes/game. So I guess he's not really a point guard. Hope to hear something in the next day or 2.

For 2024 or 2025?

2024.
3 other A10 teams offered. And he is tall. Good combination.

[DoctorJ]

Collective email said the roster is set, so I think we have a full squad for next year.

Man we really have zero guard depth...

I think we will see Foster getting guard minutes

[DoctorJ]

Probably a good thing for Foster. He didn't transition well to playing bigger players. He can shoot. Maybe he can defend guys four inches shorter.

[GOODY]

lol Frank saw opponents get too many put back rebounds to beat us at the end of games ! With all these new bigs, hopefully no more!

For 2024 or 2025?

Not 100% sure, but I think 2024.

[DoctorJ]

I got confirmation. He is 2024. As of now, roster is all set.

Despite the returnees, we should be a very different team this year.
