5 to play 5

Because they got a kid that averaged 3 MPG at TTU last year?

Rich Brisco committed to Rider.

Can a player play 5 years? Or is it a 5 yr window to play 4?

It's not just Kent and Toledo recruiting over Akron.

I think OU has had a fairly good portal season. They added 2 perimeter players to go along with Simmons. I believe they also added 2 international players, which I have trouble projecting. If either of those international players are quality MAC starters OU can be a serious contender. If not, they will probably have a similar season to the one they just had.

No. Willis Jr. missed the entire season. Who knows if he's the same player as he was at WMU, and that was during a really bad year for the MAC (23rd or 25th ranked conference when he was averaging double digits). A 6'2" without a 3P shot is an interesting add as the MAC will seemingly be as tall as it has ever been next season. Not impressed with either of Kent's or Toledo's Portal classes so far. BG & Balls have had the best Portal classes along with Akron IMO. Simon thrives in the Portal but can rarely get the pieces to fit together on the court. Balls looks like they'll have a pulse for the first time in years. I can't tell what Toledo, Kent, Miami OH, and Ohio are doing with their classes. Akron is getting bigger and more physical while maintaining athleticism. This final piece Akron adds will complete the roster and I'm curious to see who that is. If they can add another 6'7"-6'9" Forward or a sniper from 3 (G or F), look out.

BG is legit!! (perpetually)

I would say no. Willis is an upgrade over Medley, but still lacks a perimeter game. Angel Montas is a nice addition for Toledo, but what else have they added? BG IMO has signed better classes than both.

At this point, yes. New era. I'd throw in Buffalo as well.

Fellas, are we getting out-transferred by Toledo and Kent State?

bring back Amani and TJ

There will be a lawsuit to make this retroactive for the latest crop of applicable individuals, but otherwise, this should stand. Good move by the NCAA.

Toledo and Kent have some legit recruits. Reloading.

I'm really curious to see what Big Joe has to say but not worth $149.00... I'll what for the summary...

Wow

Kent seems to like these PGs today that can distribute the basketball, but can't shoot the 3. Still an upgrade over Medley as Willis is better at getting to and finishing at the rim.

Senderoff lands Chansey Willis, who scored 28 at the JAR when he played for WMU. He always reloads, despite the odds.
