Seth Hubbard is transferring to Toledo but he's not a PG.

Pritchard returning to CMU keeps them from totally rebuilding. he'a a solid MAC PG. and prob playing at the perfect level. At CMU he can be the guy on a program that is improving. prob means Barbee is returning as there were rumors about him being considered for bigger jobs. He's replaced the wings he lost. I wasn't sold on any of the bigs as Harding was ok but often hurt and Davis was athletic and had a couple big games but mostly a non factor. If CMU can recruit the portal or JUCO for an impact guy inside they might be tough.

I just list what’s on VC position and eligibility wise…

Kevin Pritchard has chosen to come back to CMU, a huge get for us

Former CMU SF Aidan Rubio committed to UNC Asheville.

Akron adds two transfers. James Okonkwo (North Carolina) and Seth Wilson (West Virginia)

They were teammates in WV. Okonkwo transferred after Huggins was relieved of his duties. Both were rotational players on WVU 2023 tournament team. Seth Wilson seemed to regress some this past season after shooting fairly well last season. Okonkwo didn't get to see the floor much at UNC as he was buried behind Bacot and others on the depth chart. I haven't seen him play, but he averaged over 3 rebounds a game and shot .574 from the floor in only 11 mpg at WVU. With more minutes and facing less stiff competition, I think he'll be one of the better bigs in the MAC next season.

Kent picked up Cian Medley a PG formerly of Saint Louis University.

Akron bets another former Mountaineer in Josiah Harris. 6’9” PF from Canton, OH

Don't see him getting much time playing for a big10 team but maybe he absolutely develops two-fold in the off-season. He couldn't dominate the MAC or non-conference teams we played despite being bigger than most.

I thought Neiderhauser was very talented. True, he doesn't have a dominant playing personality and isn't a big man who overpowers people but he's got some game and good hands and feet.

I just don't see him getting the playing time he needs to continue to develop with a big10 team.

He had 2 pts and 3 rebounds vs Northwestern and 4 points and 4 rebounds vs Iowa. That's going to be his competition. I doubt he ever becomes their starting center but maybe he has a huge development happen this offseason.

New transfer addition for NIU.

Quote:The 6’5 freshman averaged 9.7 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 1.4 SPG for Cal Poly last year. The Hazel Crest, IL native would be a huge add this off season.

Jones shot 40% from 3 this year and 49% from 3 above the break.

NIU adds another transfer addition in 6'10" Jordan Goreki. Played at Northern Oklahoma College. Averaged 8.7 ppg and 7.4 rebounds per game. He also (per calculations) blocked about 3.5 shots a game.

If anyone is interested, here is a podcast guest starring the person who is leading Akron's Collective. The discussion is more centered on where college athletics is heading and how collectives function.
