Going Pro:
-- Duren

could go either way (pro/portal):
-- Minott (always thought of himself as 1 and done)
-- Bates (ended the season amicably- could be promised big role)
-- Jayden
-- Lomax (memphis looking to recruit over him, he is aware)
-- Nolley (leaning towards grad transfer),
-- Williams (loves memphis, might get NIL money)
-- Lester (will want a bigger role, depends what penny tells him)

Thinks they will be Back:
-- Timberlake (doesn't want to sit out), Lawsons, Tyler, Dandridge, Onu.

these are guesses -

note beat writer: mentions of some scary good PGs that memphis will target from the portal.. there are no scary good pgs currently in the portal. he has names but won't mention

There’s no way Lester and Williams aren’t seniors by now… I feel like I’ve seen them so much lol

lester is only a junior (covid sophmore) 2 years eligibility left.. deandre is covid junior

deandre willaims will be 26, interesting is that houston has been dealing with him for close to decade.. before he was academically disqualified in HS he was supposed to come to UH this was in 2015

ps this info is from the gary parrish radio show

note: that gary said "would these PGs be afraid to come to memphis if lomax stayed seeing how much penny loves him, and is seen as the reason boogie/baugh left" munz responded "these guys are so talented/good, theyd be to confident in themselves to worry about that"

absolutely no one currently in the portal fit that descriptions, there is no pg currently in the portal that would think they will supplant an essential 4 year guy with starter minutes in all 4, who started on an NCAA tournament team

here are pesik guesses...
who could be high level pgs, that "might" enter the portal that would fit that..
- max abmas
- scotty pippen jr
- antoine davis
- kendric davis

high transfer risk elite pgs

You left out 6-8 John Camden, who took a medical redshirt, and is likely returning. Good outside shooter, can play the 2, 3, 4. He is also a member of the family sponsoring Onu.

will be interesting to see how it all plays out, thats alot of players to have in limbo

also the memphis board is funny, i went there to maybe find a hint of this big time transfer pg..

there is a thread "Toppert calls Malcolm lazy" almost all the responses are based off the thread title, and not the actual radio interview...

the interview he makes it obvious he really wasnt happy with Dandridge's effort for 3-4 plays but that he played a good overall game (never used the word "lazy"), and notes he will be back next season ...

and all the posts in that thread are about, "to publicly go at a player it must mean he isnt coming back" "you dont call out a player like this on the radio", you can tell most of the posts didnt even listen to the interview

Thanks P. Seriously.

Joe Pleasant in the Portal for Wichita.

Surprising .. but i think the fan base is happy with that. Though we now lost both 4s (Joe and Monzy) so we better hit the portal

So UCF is losing 3 players to the portal in Adams, Rhodes, and Fuller. All three are replaceable. We should have plenty of scholarships to use for next year.

Quit team:
Tony Johnson Jr (Showed potential as a freshman)
Sean Mobley (Not very good)

Transfer:
Isaiah Adams (Showed lots of potential as a freshman, role decreased as sophomore)
Ed’Xavior Rhodes (Redshirt, reportedly not very good)
Dre Fuller (Rotational player)

Graduating:
Brandon Mahan (Extremely good sometimes but inconsistent)
Darius Perry (See above)
Cheikh Mbacke Diong (Solid starting center)

That’s a lot of free scholarships.

Pardon if posted previously, but the following site tracks transfers to and from: https://verbalcommits.com/transfers/2022

Qua Grant in the portal for Wichita. Down two guards now, but as of now still have Porter. Etienne is widely expected to not be back so that's why Wichita is hitting guards hard in the portal.

Wichita now has 5 (6 if Etienne doesn't come back) scholarships to fill.

interview with Nelly Cummings l(15pt per PG from Colgate- 1 yr eligibility) - being recruited by Temple, Wichita and USF
https://247sports.com/college/arkansas/A...185030421/
no timeline, will be a balancing act of going to as high of a level as possible, but also somewhere he knows he will get minutes

Guess Erik Stevenson wants to get a 4th coach fired.

Brazile looks like the best long term prospect in the portal. A bit under the radar like Tari Eason was last year but Brazile is a future pro.

Hmmm...Dylan Penn looks interesting.

Bring Erik Stevenson back to Wichita!

Minott from Memphis entering the draft with no intention of returning to Memphis

Minott is a budding star and a thoughtful and intelligent young man. I wish it had worked out at Memphis, but I wish him nothing but success.

Minott said in an interview that he plans to be drafted in the first round.

I say that isn't happening, so he will most likely enter the portal.
