Is State finished with the portal?
I don’t think so. On a completely different note (or not), Caleb Mills a transfer from Florida State, is at Memphis averages: 3.4 assists, 83.6% free throws, 29.6% from 3-point range, and 41.0% overall from the floor. Granted, he’s a combo guard (although listed as a point guard for Memphis), but I wonder if that would have any impact on whether he would want to go there.
“He” as in, Bradley wanting to go there.
Bradley visited Memphis today and this is part of what the article had to say:
“Earlier in the week Bradley met with North Carolina State, but today he will be meeting with the Memphis Tigers. With Penny Hardaway at the helm Memphis has become a very attractive landing spot for a lot of guys in the portal and I wouldn’t be shocked if this is where Bradley lands.“
Don’t know if that means anything but don’t love that we weren’t his last visit. Anyone know how many portal players we’ve nabbed so far where NC State was their last visit?
You want to be their first and last visit.
Okay. So that unexpected visit was his first. Hopefully we get another. “So, you’re saying there’s a chance!”
Hardaway has a great message and Memphis is definitely positioning itself as one of the big players. I have no idea what our chances are, but my gut says Bradley is a long shot for State.
Memphis does have a lot of appeal as a program, probably very good NIL funding, and their coach is a compelling recruiter. But also they’ve had their share of off court problems similar to Alabama. If Bradley and his family want to stay further away from that type of stuff, State might look appealing. But I won’t pretend to know what they really are thinking.
He didn’t announce right after Memphis visit so maybe we are still in contention.
New Pack Pride article headline basically says Miranda committed to staying. Staving off the rumors of him leaving.
If I could LIKE this post twice I would!
Yep. Same. Like!
Wow, I miss a day on the internet and Miranda “leaves” and comes back on the same day.
Nice to see him saying he’s put on muscle and he is excited for next season. I’m pretty excited too.
Gantt is going to UNC Asheville.
I live just on the other side of the river from UNCA. I will get to see him play.
I still worry that Morsell could get some good feedback and decide to turn pro. Rice is definitely a small forward but strong. At 6’5” and 225 lbs I see him in Morsell’s slot. That is a ton of talent at the 3. Also, Dusan does not count against our 13 scholarships until he gets a medical waiver from the NCAA. And those bassturds have never done us any favors.
I think it’s good he’s testing the waters. I don’t want him to go but if he does come back, that in all likelihood will work out for us.
Someone posted on BTP that they heard we are about to sign a big kid transferring from Missouri, former JUCO player.
Reading the tea leaves is impossible, but makes you wonder if that signals Dusan isn’t coming back.
I was really hoping for a PG, I’d be disappointed.
If it is MOHAMED DIARRA, he is a project with three years of eligibility left. He was No 1 JUCO, but looks a lot like DOWUONA.
Yep, that’s the guy. I had forgotten his name.
Unless there are other moving parts to that situation (which there very well could be) I would think that would be a strange pickup. Even if Dusan did not qualify, you’d think we’d go for someone who was more so ready to play. And, isn’t he a graduate transfer? Seems odd if you ask me. My hope is we get Bradley. From there, everything else is just gravy.
He was a JUCO and had four years of eligibility which he used one at Missouri during 22-23 season. Seems like he has three more years.
Agree with you, I hope this is another bit of bad information. If we could get a really good PG, this team could really be special. And some of the pieces could stick around awhile – at least from an available eligibility standpoint.
So, if we snag Bradley next, are we done? I would expect to possibly have a couple of players transfer from State should we get another point, specifically Pass. I would also be totally fine if no one transferred. I like all our players and the depth they bring at each position. Talk about being loaded if everyone should stay, and stay healthy.
I would be most disappointed if Ross or MJ chose to jump ship.
LJ?
Yep. Not MJ. Sorry.
Too many ‘J’s!!
Pass is a good NC kid, but just hasn’t shown anything yet. He should transfer now if he knows what good for him. Anyone know anything about Mahorcic? If his medical is accepted and uses a scholarship, then we are at our limit. Bradley would be a good get with three years potential but someone will have to transfer or walk on.
If Pass decides to move on we’ll find out in due time. Until then I don’t think any of us should pretend we know what is best for him. That would required intimate knowledge of what makes him happy, what he wants out of life, who he wants to spend time with, how much NIL money he is making, etc. Seeing how things worked out for Moore and Hayes sure doesn’t make leaving very compelling. Maybe being part of a team that is shaping up to be a really fun one is the best thing for him. Who knows, I… Read more »
If he wants playing time, time to move on. He didn’t get much time last year and we have added one more guard in front of him counting Rice as a potential 2 or 3.
