🔄 The @HooandTrue General Portal 2025 Thread

Dayton loses but it sounds like Anthony Grant is coming back. But their fans are livid and the vibes are bad.

Prime time to go tamper with their French big man, especially since we know he’s a Jay Huff fan.

Had a really solid game today and hell we could play him at the 4 beside Anthony Robinson at the 5 and have size while still playing 4 out like Odom wants. VCU played em twice so Im sure Odom is familiar with him.

Odom seems more likely to have a wing-ish type at the 4, no? Or is that just who he can get at the levels he’s been at?

Jay Huff was a shooting guard. (the 7fter seems very mobile). That’s a good question for @Cuts_from_The_Corner

This twitter accounts post the highlights for the Frenchie after every game for him

This might give a hint at Odom’s retention and initial transfer strategy.

Wonder how much of that they owe for/promised to Colandrea?

Odom seems pretty open to personnel flexibility, which I like.

His last year at Utah State (22-23) he played Taylor Funk at the 4 listed at 6’9” shot 37% from deep on 8 attempts per. Stretch 4.

This year he’s got three 6’10” and one 6’8” dudes he plays 4-5 there and none of them are shooters except Jack Clark takes about 4 per game at 33% so… opting for more size and athleticism than shooting at his forward slots.

This is where I could see it making a large difference how long VCU lasts in tournament. If they go into the second weekend, it could create more uncertainly which draws more guys to the the portal.

With Neptune gone from Nova, does Matthew Hodge go on the list? Or is he more likely to join his pops at ODU? Tyler Perkins had a solid season too; ended up actually the better DMV guard transfer from the Ivy compared to Mack.

Are you talking about our guys?

I think I expect double digit Portal entries from our guys no matter what.

The question is how many give the new coach a fair shot to re-recruit them, vs how many get locked in elsewhere before the new coach gets his shot.

Same. There’s really no downside to entering the portal for these guys. Even if they are inclined to stay, they can test the waters and potentially increase their NIL leverage with UVA.

Rowan Brumbaugh winning me over a little again with solid first half vs memphis

I wonder if Malcolm Thomas moves. Was really impressed with him, as a bouncy 6-8/6-9 forward he straight up outplayed Pat Ngongba when Dematha beat PVI at the June Scholastic event.

Redshirted this year at Nova. His dad is a former Syracuse and I believe NBA player.
