That is a surprise .  Unless he wants to go home to finish his career.   Now that is 3.  We need to get some portal players

I was hoping he didn't enter the portal, but I can't say I'm super surprised.  His PT decreased and there were games he hardly played.  Hope the same isn't going to be the case with Shemar.

Shemar was injured and his playing time decreased because of it.  I think.  Lovelace will be a bigger loss if he decides to enter the portal.  They have until May 11th I believe. Keeping fingers crossed.  Don't see why he would enter the portal because he most likely will be a starter next year and average alot of points and rebs with more playing time

He will almost be sure for a starting position for next year. IMO, he will not be playing a lot of minutes (let alone starting) for the power 5 teams. I also do not see any mid major teams will guarantee him a starting position. So, he might just decide to stay put.

Heard Imanuel Zorgvol, the 7 footer that was at NKU and entered the portal, was in Youngstown visiting YSU on Friday.

According to NKU’s website, they have two 7 footer on the roster.
He was a redshirt freshman last year and he didn’t play.
Without any meaningful statistic, I don’t have idea how good he is. They also have another 7’1 sophomore who average only 0.7 points and 1.4 rebounds a game last year.
So, why does a redshirt freshman enter the transfer portal with the guy ahead of him played without any significant stats.

He played in 32 games last year averaging about 9 mins a game, 2.6 pts, 2.8 rebounds & .7 blocks

He averaged under 3 pts and 3 rebs in limited action.  Highlights is he had a dunk on us in tournament.  He scored 15 pts against UC Clearmont.  Look good. He tweeted highlights

Looks like Ziggy Reid is coming to YSU
https://twitter.com/ziggy_reid5/status/1645472544894468096

He's 6'6 and played all 4 years at Merrimack, which jumped to D1 this year and won their tournament but was ineligible.  He's started the last 3 years averaged over 10 points a game including more than 14 last year in D1.

Merrimack has been D1 since 2019-20 season, so Ziggy Reid has 4 years D1 experience.  NCAA has a 4-year reclassification period when moving up to DI. That reclassification includes a 4-year period that schools are not eligible for the NCAA or NIT tournaments.

Do you guys think he has the capability to take us to the promised land next season? How does he stack up against our 4 portal transfers last season?

Don't know much about Ziggy but four years at a D1 school  and an average of 14 point a game looks decent.   
6-6 235 is good too.  I'm thinking he's more of swing man despite his 235.  Took 156 3s last season and hit at 35%.

Is YSU the NKU big men rehabilitation destination ?

Ziggy highlights,

Looking at the home court of the D-1 Merrimack, I think anyone of our high schools in the Mahoning valley has a better basketball court than them. How could we even complain about Beeghly? Lol…just saying
