Zorgvol averaged just 9 min a game as a freshman.  7 footer now gives us two who are 7 foot or taller.
Not a bad pickup.   Calhoun impresses me how he recruits the portal.  Lots of potential with the Zorgvol recruit.
Lots or upside.  Now we need to get Jason Edwards from the JUCO ranks will still have 3 years or eligibility left.
He was All American at Dodge city cc and scored 22 pts a game and his highlights are unreal.  WE need to sign him

I know the one guy is 6'6!  But we also got a seven footer?  Am I reading that right?

Add another one to the list... we added EJ Farmer from Toledo. 6'5" 175

Averaged 6 points and 2 rebounds for Toledo this year.

The transfers are quite different from last year, up to this point. Last year, all 4 transfers were either senior or graduate students. So far, 2 of the 3 transfers are sophomores.

The upside is that they will have 3 year of eligibility left. The downside is that they might not work out. Those 4 transfers from last year were experienced and proven starting players.
I got a feeling that next year could be a rebuilding year.

On a separate note, it is hard to believe we are discussing basketball in mid April instead of discussing football. With the Spring game in a few days, there has not been any information on the progress of the practice, let alone any promotion on the Spring game.
This is supposed to be a football town, Lol

Another good find in Farmer.  Not bad we also have 4 incoming from High school/ juco.  If anyone can do it Calhoun can.

HS video from 2 years ago.  Looks like he has a nice stroke and he's a lefty.   Not a big frame guy but looks athletic.  Hopefully his best basketball is ahead of him.  Coached offered him out of HS so Calhoun is maintaining contacts.

Corrections on Farmer's highlights are from his sophomore year which was four years ago.
