Former South Florida G Xavier Castañeda is transferring to Akron. @castaneda_x http://verbalcommits.com/players/xavier-castaneda PG from Chicago, worked out pretty well last time

We were a big time favorite to win the tournament last year. Remember Buffalo lost in the first round and BG was in a three game losing streak. Besides those two only Ball State & N Illinois were over .500 in conference play. I enjoyed seeing LCJ lifting up a trophy on the national stage.

Currie & Marshall entered the portal after year end meetings with the coaches, so I’m sure the coaches expected it. Marshall’s last couple minutes against BG was all they gave us combined last year (and Marshall followed that up with zero points and 5 fouls against Buffalo). We never counted on Reece coming back. It’s a big opportunity to add better players

GT tweeted LCJ is in the three point contest at the final four!

Sadly, number 6 here is a lot better than 7. I don’t understand how he could be rated so high at 6’3 with no jump shot

He’s played basketball his whole like and has been at Akron for 2 years, I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see him becoming a good shooter.

Reece in the transfer portal. We didn’t expect him back so not a big deal.

There was on 20 point scorer in the MAC this year, let’s not get carried away. Let’s hope he averages a double- double and keeps playing great D.

Watching him play live you can see offensively he is very limited, has bad hands and doesn’t have natural instincts. The box score lies with him sometimes (rebounding his own missed layups). Defensively he has great instincts and will be our best defender since Marshall. Hopefully he can bulk up and be able to go toe to toe with the bigs Buffalo & OU have.
