My take on potential transfers.

Will Dunn -   Played a lot last season but not this year.  I'm thinking he would leave and go to a smaller school whether that's D2 or other.

Jacori Owens - I also think he's gone.  It looked liked he was in the rotation during the first game against Canisius and then he rarely got minutes the rest of the season.

Shemar Rathan Mayes - On the fence on this one.  Mayes started a lot of games at YSU and I know he had an injury but unless he was still hurt it seemed that he did not get back in the rotation in the  late part of the season.

Myles Hunter - Is someone I'd call probable to stay.  He was in the rotation and got decent time on the court.  Unless he wants to be more of 'the man" then he'll look elsewhere.

Josh Irwin -Could  be looking to something like Luke Chicone did going to a John Carrol or similar. Two years in  the program and only blow out minutes or against non D1 opponents.  Granted he did redshirt his first year.  Seems like a great teammate and showed the most enthusiasm and support from the bench.

Brandon Rush - Should be back and a major contributor.

John Lovelace - Same as Rush.

I have zero inside information and only speculating.   These guys want to play and I don't blame them.  Why sit on the bench when a good opportunity  presents itself.

Coach C was adamant about going hard in the portal and that's his job to bring in the best players and what he did last year in the portal made some guys in the program slide down in their time on the court.

Btw, it was interesting that Robert Morris lost both Cheeks and Green to the portal who were big time producers at RMU.   When your best players want to go elsewhere that hurts the program as we know with naz and DQ in the past.

YsuPride:
ucfpengbuck i totally agree with everything you posted .  Will Dunn and Josh Irwin are most likely going to stay they are having a good time with the program.  Jacori Owens i think might explore opportunities.    We need more inside help through the portal.  At least 2 players.  We have 3 schollys left i believe

YsuPride:
Maybe Cheeks and Green form RMU might transfer here...

YsuPride:
What ever happened to Mattia Acunzo who  transferred here from RMU and is from Sharon Kennedy.  Hurt?
He was on the bench i believe but cannot be for sure.  Blue Ribbon college magazine said Eligible in January of 2023 but i didn't see that .  He is 6-8 and is very talented.   Can someone find out if he is still with the team.  He is from Italy.

YsuPride:
Calhoun makes the 9th worse salary in the Horizon as of the end of 22 season.  He got resigned before the season with many bonuses to include $5k for finishing 5th or better.  He got that bonus.  Plus an RPI of 150 or less he achieved that.  Bonus for beating a power 5 team didn't get that.  By comparison Wright state head coach makes 500k and NKU coach makes 400k, Milwaukee coach makes 350k.  I believe IUPUI coach makes less than Calhoun.
Not every coach was listed as having a salary or bonus.  By the way the Cleve. State coach makes 280k per year. didn't see any bonuses for him though.  Google head coaches salary and i got it.
