I like how whenever a mvc guy transfers, people are in the comments tagging their team and coach to get this guy. Like, I think they know who hits the portal

I'm worried C.J. Jones might get plucked from us (e.g., for "Power-5 bigger conference school as a 6th man/hybrid type of role (Point Guard/Shooting Guard)).

I hope not - if Jones stays, and we are able to get a formidable coach, am I wrong in being "cautiously optimistic" about our rotation for next year (I didn't say we'd win the conference, but):

Power Forward/Center - Brownell 
Power Forward - Skolbalj
Small Forward - Pickett
Shooting Guard  - Jones
Point Guard - Carlos Harris (Curie H.S.)

With Clay/Salih giving us some bench mins.  Also - Fens (Fens - he's 6'9" and potentially could benefit from having a good summer by doing conditioning, working on his game (e.g., perhaps a "baby hook"; all I'm thinking here is 15-18 mins per game).

The transfer portal is such a drag…totally ruining the game. We’re all just minor league programs now. Hard to connect to a team when it’s 10 new players every year. Gillespie is a huge loss for Belmont and the Valley. That guy is a stud.

And now the NCAA changed it where a two time transfer doesn’t need a waiver.

It’s just a whole different thing now and frankly it’s sad.

SMU jones and Pickett are long gone.
Fens has a baby hook and was in shape fine.
Yak never gave the guy a chance even when he provided good minutes.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen more players transfer as of yet.

So far we have Jones and Pickett and then Okani and Kennedy gone due to transfer.

I’m wondering if this week will bring more change or wait until a new coach is hired.

Brutal start to the off-season for Belmont. They’re also losing Malik Dia. This is why it’s inexcusable to always be at the bottom of conference. Every year, mid-majors lose stars and have to rebuild. Why is everyone else rebuilding better than us?
