New transfer that should give experience and size.


Shot 57% from the field and 77% at the ft line.   He attempted zero 3 pointers.

Also add Brett Thompson to the roster.

Excellent should bring needed depth.  Let's see who the starters will be besides Rush.  Should have some size.  My guess is starters will be Rush and Thompson guards. Immanuel Z the 7 foot player from NKU.  Ziggy Reid and DJ Burns.  EJ Farmer off the bench and who knows who else.  Time will tell.

"DJ,

I hope you stay but if you choose not to, you have been an exemplary ambassador for the University and an absolute fan favorite.

I wish you nothing but success in all of your future endeavors.

Thank you!"


This was a quote from the Murray state message board.   Sounds like we're getting a good one.

What a day for the Penguins with two commits with D1 experience.   Hopefully coach can put togethe a team that develops chemistry which is happening probably to most teams with the portal.

That puts YSU at 12 players and if David Wilkersons signs it will mean they're done.   Wilkerson still shows as a commit on verbal commits site which to me isn't  clear since all the other earlier frosh and transfers already signed.

Tanner Holden to the portal.   Would look great in the red & white.

Gut feeling would be Toledo.

[YsuPride]

Ray Dennis from Toledo put his name in portal.  He was the Mac POY.

[YsuPride]

Maybe tanner holden goes to Toledo

This is Holdens second transfer. The immediately eligibility rule would not apply. Although with the NCAA you never know.

[Double ET]

According to Columbus newspaper, he could transfer back to Wright State (his original school before transferring to Ohio State) and regain immediate eligibility.

[YsuPride]

Why would he go back to the school that he left for the big time and got no playing time?  Sounds like a mistake to me on Holden part.  He should have never left in the 1st time.

[YsuPride]

Tyreek Smith in portal from Oklahoma State.  He is a big body and scored 13 Points against us.  Maybe we can go after him.  Though he a multiple time transfer

[YsuPride]

Scratch that he just committed to SMU

[Dmorton]

The guys we are getting are not one and done this time as Seniors! Maybe we can finally build on our success!

[YsuPride]

What is going on with verbal commits?   it doesn't show the most recent transfers anymore. 
Did we lose them or what?

[YsuPride]

Never mind    Just needed to log back into my computer,  Now it's their
