Transfer Portal 2026

I think we need to remember that not every portal transfer is brought in to be a star.  Some are meant to be valuable depth.

He started 98 of 99 total games played at the lower level- my guess, he's expecting to start..

Hopefully, he's that quality of a player.  My response was for those who seem disappointed.

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed.  Moreso punching below our weight if this is TJ and Sharron's replacement, we'll see.

His stats at previous stops were way better than any stats Sharron has put up to this point.

 

I like Sharron and hope he can stay but there's no reason to think he's better than an incoming player who has better stats just because we like him. 

 

By the way, the Southland and Horizon League were the two conferences directly behind the MAC in conference NET Rankings last year, so it's not like he was playing at a drastically lower level for the past 3 seasons.

If Sharron comes back. This guy is the perfect Scott replacement.  Combo guard who can come in a score, score score!  I am still hoping Sharron young will get the keys to the Ferrari this season. I think he could be all MAC

Sharron had intangibles that no one else had and that's unmeasurable IMO.  And he was behind TJ so that's why the stats aren't there.
