Former USI player Elija Jones hitting the portal…again. Trying to stay away from head cases like this is critical. I would take a lesser talented player than someone like this, who really isn’t very good. Trouble with some players is they have loftier impressions of themselves than what they should. There are many just like Elijah that "portal themselves right out of existence"....no body picks them up. Many players can testify to that now. |

Some rumors being tossed around on MSU board that Preston is being rumored for Wichita State, and Western KY.

 Looks like we are pursuing a good SIU portal player. He would be good for us. He is 7 foot and bulky. We need a center bad. Attachments:

Wow….but to be honest, Avila looks like he should be playing the tuba in the marching band…but man can he play. Looks are deceiving when it comes to Avila. I honestly don’t know how he can look like he does and yet be so smooth on the court. |

I honestly don’t know how he can look like he does and yet be so smooth on the court. That's because Avila is a basketball player not a athlete. |

 According to Brad he is making an official visit here. He would be a very good player for us. |

6' 175lbs? He's gotta bulk up if he wants to play D1, he's like Meredith's size.

View AttachmentAccording to Brad he is making an official visit here. He would be a very good player for us. What catches my attention is he played for a real good juco and probably faced good competition. I don't know how well his team did this year, but his numbers suggest he made quite an impact in a tough league. |

Garden City CC is usually good, they went 19-13 this season and lost in their Tournament quarterfinals |

I think he would be an upgrade if nothing else...speaking about Braxton. Certainly Stan is selling him on stepping in right away and making an impact.

Well 4 so far. Not surprising about KP since he lived in the doghouse all year. I think we expected Moore also so no shock so far to me. |
