Bethel in Minnesota?? I'm not saying it's not possible he's legit, but Bethel is a seminary (basically) and he'd be the first D1-type player in their program's history.

After further research I see it's Bethel out of Kansas, which I know nothing about, which is a positive. I knew that no way in hell anyone from Bethel-Mn could transfer to a D1 program.

Added Furgerson and Nzekwesi for Weber State. So at this point there are 32 players in the portal from the Big Sky Conference with a few more likely to be added over the next few weeks likely. I'd expect a couple more from Sac State now that they have made a decision to move away from their interim guy, and a couple more here and there as the spring signing period is fast approaching.
 
Just to clear up Sac St. info....Samaad Hector actually went into the portal after the 2020-2021 season and I don't know where he played last season....So that's another one you can drop...

Eastern Washington just netted 3.5 star transfer from Louisiana-Lafayette in Ty Harper. From Golden State Prep (Same program as Jack Wetzel) and one of best extra year prep school for hoops in the US. Portland State just added JR/SR transfer from IUPUI as well.
 
Mitchell brothers off the board. They committed to Arkansas. Back to the drawing board on who those 2 recruits were with Decuire at the depot last week. Maybe it was Dorrell Thomas and his brother from CSU. Man it would be nice to land that kid.

P.S. Decuire should take a consulting class from Eric Musselman on how to recruit the portal. The man does it better than just about anybody else. Wouldn’t be surprised if Arkansas is the preseason #1 team next season.

Musselman is just a recruiting machine. He has 6 top 100, of which 3 top 25, high schools commits.
 
Mack Anderson is now following Dischon Thomas on Twitter. He wasn't as of 2 days ago so that's a positive sign. I'm feeling somewhat optimistic that we're gonna land him.

Helps Musselman when he can legally bribe them to come with tons of NIL money. They got that Jerry Jones money.

True, but he was even a recruiting machine at Nevada, but the deep pockets have him going bananas.
 
Busy day of recruiting for the Big Sky. Griz, Eastern and SAC all get guys today. Sac State with maybe the biggest pickup of the 3, even though I do think Thomas was a huge get for us.

Eastern for the second consecutive year is extremely active in the portal. This is now their third pickup in this cycle.
 
Keep the good times rolling for Sac State. Watch out for the hornets next year.

Not that I'm aware of. He does have a prior connection to David Patrick though, as Patrick was the head coach at UC Riverside when McRae was still there so I guess it doesn't surprise me that he ended up at Sac.

This kid posted his commitment to SAC on Saturday, but then deleted it.

Is the OP up to date with all the latest additions/departures?

It is now. I took spring break off from this. Needed some mental respite from the omnipresence of the transfer portal in my mind.
