thanks for all the updates!

Is he a Rencher recruit? I like that we're recruiting down into Texas now.

Committed to Texas Tech.

Bump. Just landed in the portal.

Recruited hard out of high school by Creighton prior to landing both Kaluma and Alexander, but there will be minutes on the wing next year following Hawkins and O'Connell's departure. While at TCU Coach Miller also was recruiting Jaylon. I am sure we will reach out.

I believe we have 1 scholly open for next year currently that would be filled by a big man. However it's probable we lose one or 2 guys to the portal as well

Not naive enough to believe we don’t lose anyone to the portal, but curious who people think may enter the portal.

My first guess would be Kancleris. Before Rati really came on in the last few games, I was wondering if he might end up transferring. Honestly, at the end of the day, I’m not sure that I see the Jays taking a wing in the transfer portal. Another grad transfer big? I could see that. But the wing spot is the most crowded spot on the roster at this point, and I highly doubt any of the 2, 3, or small ball 4’s end up transferring.

I agree about Kancleris. I think we need a scoring wing though, maybe Trey will take the jump but it would be nice to have a go to scorer, not sure Tyson is the guy (although I'm sure we would take him). Hopefully Kaluma and Miller can man the 4 next year. As others have said we need another big to replace Feazell for sure.

Rati is a perfect example of why it's kind of a waste of time at this point to try to project future attrition in a lot of cases. It was always ridiculous to write him off in the first few weeks coming off a major knee injury.

FWIW, here' the roster breakdown for next season.

PG: Ryan Nembhard, Shereef Mitchell, Rati Andronkikashvili, Ben Shtolzberg
G: Trey Alexander, John Christofilis
F: Arthur Kaluma, Mason Miller, Modestas Kancleris, Jasen Green
C: Ryan Kalkbrenner

Obviously they need another center. They're stacked at point guard. Beyond that, they have a lot of guards overall and forwards, but they're short on true wings (which is the case this year as well considering O'Connell is really the only true wing on the roster). If they do lose anybody — either a guard or a forward — I'd probably target a true wing to add more versatility to the roster. As things stand, they will have the option of going big (like they are now with Hawkins and Kaluma) or going small (like they do with Nembhard, Mitchell/Andronikashvili and Alexander). If Miller ends up being more of a 3 than a 4, that would change the calculus slightly, but we'll have to see how he develops during his redshirt year.
