Austin Patterson, who we recruited before he signed with Wofford, is now in the portal and getting a look from Sac St:

Sac continues to go deep into the portal adding yet another transfer:

Oklahoma transfer Akol Mawein 6'8 221 PF from Sydney, Australia.

Sac St continues to mine the portal and just landed Gianni Hunt a 3 star 6'4 PG transfer from Oregon State.

As much as I wish he had stayed with the Aggies, I wish Ezra the best of luck at Vandy. It's been special watching him play here the last couple of years.

There are a couple of PG's in the portal that we previously recruited. I wonder if we might be looking at them:

Sophomore guard Robby Beasley III has entered the portal, MTN confirmed with a team spokesman on Wednesday.

Beasley, a San Ramon, California native, has been a key young talent for the Grizzlies in his two years at Montana, and has started in 42 of the 54 games he has played in for UM in two seasons, including every game this past year. He averaged 11.8 points per game this year for Montana, which ranked second on the team. He shot at a 39.1% rate from the field and 36.9% from beyond the arc. Beasley also averaged 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game and racked up 32 steals for the Grizzlies who finished the season 18-14. Beasley also averaged 30.6 minutes per game.[/quote

Austin Patterson 6'3 SG from Sonora is transferring from Wofford:

It's just a prediction by someone at 247 sports so it isn't confirmed yet. Sounds like Vandy would be a good fit for him.

247 Sports "Transfer Crystal Ball" is predicting that Ezra Manjon will be transferring to "Vanderbilt 100%." You have to pay a fee to read more about this prediction so this is all the info that I can access.

From the Davis Enterprise on April 16:

After a monthslong stalemate with campus administrators over election rules, ASUCD leaders sent the item to the ballot as a non-binding ballot measure, not an official fee initiative or referendum, as was originally proposed. While a fee initiative is advisory to the chancellor, it puts student-led legislation on a track to be potentially implemented. The non-binding measure, if passed, would not activate any administrative process to change student fees.

The ballot measure will serve as a “temperature-check” of student opinion on the issue, said Gawde, the ASUCD senator. If students support it, she added, the measure could help establish a mandate to bring the matter to a vote in an official referendum in the near future. “We’re using the means available to us to get the issue onto the ballot,” Wong said.

DeAndre Henry, a 6'7 PF who is transferring from Nevada, has heard from the Ags.

Nevada transfer DeAndre Henry is hearing from Portland State, UC-Davis, Liberty, Pacific and Incarnate Word since going into the portal.

Nevada transfer DeAndre Henry also has heard from Portland State, UC-Davis, Liberty, Pacific, Incarnate Word, Sam Houston State, North Dakota and New Hampshire since entering the portal, per reports. Washington, Henry and Cambridge are three of four scholarship transfers from Nevada's roster, joined by guard Alem Huseinovic.

It looks like the Ags how shown interest in Julian Lewis, a 6'6 SG from Ann Arbor, MI, who is transferring from William & Mary.

Sac State continues to add size from the portal. Callum MacRae a 7'1 C from New Zealand has transferred to Sac from UC Riverside. They added Hunter Marks, a 6'9 PF from Harford, last weeks also.

Aaron Murphy has now entered the portal and that makes 7 Aggies who are transferring.

I'm really beginning to wonder about what is behind this mass exodus. I can understand having a few players deciding to leave but 7...wow, something doesn't seem right...

https://verbalcommits.com/players/aaron-murphy

I'm not sure he was on scholarship. Verbalcommits shows him as a FWO (former walk on).

They are also bringing in 6'9 PF Hunter Marks an Aussie transferring from Hartford. He averaged 11.7 ppg and 4.4 rpg last season.

Posted by Gauchofreg from the Big West Boards transfer thread:

Portal dynamic has shifted over the past week or two. The number of entrants has slowed to a trickle compared to the torrent back in March. The majority of announcements, ~65%, are now for players choosing their new schools.
There hasn't been a new BW player hitting the portal for about a week. So far, only two of the 36 BW players that hit the portal have found a new home; CSUN's Darius Brown going to Montana St and Fullerton's Dante Maddox heading to Toledo.

Twenty of the BW players in the portal have likely graduated so many of these may have thrown their names out there just to see what happens.

Top BW players in the portal (no particular order)
Coleman, CSUN
Rocak, UCSD
Manjon, Davis
Fuller, Davis
T. Maddox, Fullerton
McRae, UCR

Looks like he got a lot of attention this past weekend in SoCal.

That makes 5 Aggies in the portal. It will be interesting to see where they land.

:lol: ...or the Rustic Cowgirl Edge Western Apparel Shop!

Wyoming also landed Jake Kyman who is a 6'7 SF from UCLA.

I would imagine that teams looking at players in the portal often put together "package deals" where they contact 2 or more players they are recruiting and then the players themselves may possibly contact each other on their own and discuss playing with each other. Coaches know players want to play on teams that win and would be saying something like..."look at how strong this team would be if you join this group of players you'd be playing with.
