Portal 2024

I would not be surprised if Brendan Hausen is not our next signee out of the portal.
A 3 point sharpshooter guard from Villanova. Looks really good on 3 pointers off fast breaks and good ball movement from passing. Averaged 17.6 minutes of playing time per game last year, 38ish percent on 3s, and around 85% free throw shooting.

This kid did not play for some team in team in a mid major conference. Villanova is in the Big East. This following video is insane. Some guy is catching rebound and throwing the ball to a coach, who then passes it to Hausen who shoots. The kid makes 50 3 pointers in a row.

That's pretty amazing.

Sign him up!

Just checked out the K-State roster and it includes 6-9 & 238# Malik Dia. Looked him up and it shows him transferring from Vanderbilt to Ole Miss. What gives?

He does not appear on the Ole Miss roster.

Looks like a dude.

TmCat, do you think that this is a good sign that Art Kaluma is returning? Kaluma is way better than Mitchell.

i don't believe mitchell would have filled a need here. he hasn't shot well. tang needs guys who can put the ball in the goal, plus some bigs. missouri plays a razzle-dazzle, chuck-it style offense. i'm not sure he'll contribute much in como either other than when running fast breaks.

I think now is the time for patience.
Some big fishes are going to become available.
Like Sean Stewart, Duke, just entered the portal.

Mitchell is really good. Every bit as good as Kaluma.

Ranked. Number 15 among portal players.

Shot 35% from three as a freshman. Started this year in a terrible slump from three. But finished the year out 10 for 18 from three.
Shot 41% from three in conference play both years.

Low volume so it remains to be seen how good he will be from three. But he is an above the rim forward who takes care of the ball and scores efficiently. Really good rebounder and defender.

What do you think about Sean Stewart of Duke who just entered the portal today? I like his leaping ability and work to get rebounds. Probably would not a cold day in hell before we would get him though
