2023 Transfer Portal

[KSBisonFan]

I gave Richman and the MBB program a lot of shit last year for losing all those guys to the portal (including the guys who should've been the returning team leaders like Jarius Cook and MHH) but you've gotta give Richman and staff credit for keeping this young core of players out of the portal *knockonwood* this year. Grant Nelson's uncertainty not withstanding this is a pretty big accomplishment considering over 1500 D1 players have entered the transfer portal this spring. That's over 4 per program on average and the only player NDSU looks like they'll lose (other than Nelson - which is still not a certainty) would be Jacob Yoder and that's a move that benefits both team and player IMO.

Hopefully this isn't a mirage and they can have more offseasons like this one than the last when it comes to contributing players transferring.

McKinney left too.

McKinney left too.

I talked with Dave about McKinney, McKinney wants to start and be the guy, obviously DWT is a better player and ahead of him so McKinney chose to move on, it was no bad blood, just an injury that allowed a player to move ahead of him.

If Grant does leave...we are going to be playing a lot of small ball. We will only have two bigs on the roster plus Streit.

I could see us playing pretty small.

Wheeler
Miller (Waddles)
White (Dissette)
Skunny (Hastreitor)
Morgan (Streit backup?)

I think Hastreiter starts at the 4 if Grant is gone, we also have Feddersen coming off redshirt who can add some size and athleticism to the 4/5 rotation. Backup PG is the only real question mark outside of Grant being back or not at this point. Are we moving forward with Miller/Waddles as the guy when DWT is out or do we bring someone in.

I don't blame Dez. I predict he ends up at a MIAA school closer to home. Best of luck to him.
