South Dakota transfer, 6'8". 240. 12.5/6.4.1.7, 40.1%3pt, 83%FT. PF/C, grad transfer Don’t let the high outside shooting percentage fool you, I’ve read he’s also a physical player. This is a great fit for us. Tyrin should be coming back any day now to fill the final spot. He has a very solid f...

Misc: Has played in exactly 100 college basketball games. Started 80 of his 100 games. Team won over 20 games 3 times including a 26 win season. Beat BYU, very close losses to UCLA and Baylor. Those losses against UCLA and Baylor occurred before he was on the team. USD has been pretty good overall ...

https://247sports.com/PlayerInstitution/Tyrin-Lawrence-at-Vanderbilt-254115/CurrentTransferInstitutionPredictions/ This would be the topper to what could turn out to be an excellent offseason. Would erase the only negative of the offseason and when you combine that with the added players from the po...

South Dakota transfer, 6'8". 240. 12.5/6.4.1.7, 40.1%3pt, 83%FT. PF/C, grad transfer Really good get - he is not that tall, but has good size, rebounded very well for a PF and has proven to be a good 3 pt shooter. Good stretch 4 option to go along with Smith and is just a 1 year player, so no ...

One thing I'm curious about is why Lubin's time seemed to fluctuate so much over the course of the season. Notre Dame was a bad team this year, and it may have just been more minutes in garbage time. Who knows - he would get up to 28 or 33 minutes in some games and then 7 or a DNP in others. Part o...

Lose two freshmen? 7 out of 9 returning does qualify as "most" last time I checked. where did I disagree with "most"? Since you included those who already made it past freshman season, it seems likely that is the case. But also glosses over the fact that it is our freshmen class...

probably slim pickings for a solid transfer portal big who qualifies academically. If Tyrin comes back, i think we are tourney team We continued a very good run even when Liam Robbins went down for the season. At one point QMB was our only big while Dort was out with an injury. We will be fine As l...

Doesn't bother me at all ... as long as we can get most of them to stick around to be sophomores or juniors the next year... I feel pretty good about the sophomores, but I'd be surprised if we don't lose at least two of the freshmen. At the moment our rotation is almost certain to have the followin...

The twitter crowd is saying this is because you-know-who is coming back and there isn't room on the roster for both. If this is the case then Ford going to Arkansas State does not bother me in the least. I'm not sure that even if Lawrence doesn't come back that I would be that disappointed. Maybe F...

The roster is coming together. Just a piece or two away from being a tourney team? Definitely need a true center to back up Dort. One more legit pickup (including Lawrence returning) and we have enough talent to make the tournament. If Lawrence returns we should be a tournament team for sure. That ...

I like this pickup a lot. But still concerned that 8 or 9 of the 13 players on this roster will be freshmen or sophomores. That will be tough… Doesn't bother me at all ... as long as we can get most of them to stick around to be sophomores or juniors the next year... I feel pretty good about the so...

Then we remember the time Vandy made the sweet 16 with Ross Neltner pretending he was a center. I love small lineups and think they can work like they did in 93 as well with Elder at PF, but both the 93 and 07 teams had all Americans in the lineups and a ton of experience. It won't be quite so simp...

Much-needed news: https://twitter.com/TravisBranham_/status/1659227419700543488 Awesome news - without knowing the abilities of all 117 players ranked ahead of him in the transfer portal ratings, I'd say that long term he could be one of the best pick ups from this season. Highlights from last seas...

What if Dort gets an injury next year like he did this year? Then what? Then we remember the time Vandy made the sweet 16 with Ross Neltner pretending he was a center. I love small lineups and think they can work like they did in 93 as well with Elder at PF, but both the 93 and 07 teams had all Ame...

Looks like it might be Ven-Allen Lubin. That would be a fantastic get. Those are the hints I’ve been getting. Derrien Ford should be announcing soon as well. Ford had limited minutes last year but is a freak athlete. Would probably be the most athletic guy on the team if he signs. 4 star transfer. ...

Both Lubin and Ford have VU crystal balls on 247. How would people feel going into next season with that roster? Some things that stand out to me and/or leave me wondering: - the team would be VERY young, with primarily true freshmen and sophomores who mostly saw very limited college PT last year -...

And some more: Tyrin Lawrence and Olivier Nkamhoua particularly piqued college coaches’ interest this weekend because they’re also in the NCAA transfer portal. Lawrence played well in his first game as a slashing guard capable of knocking down perimeter shots, but struggled when given more on-ball ...

I think Noah Shelby is a different case. He had potential and I think his father (he knows the sport) understood that some patience was going to be required, but Noah didn’t want to wait. C-USA has proven to be a pretty good basketball conference over the years. I don’t think Shelby’s transfer is a...

The Odusipe original offer list also included: Auburn Georgia Tech Kansas State Maryland WVU While he was obviously a "project" ...his status as a now confirmed bust was anything but obvious. Unless programs from the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 all wanted to waste a roster spot. I'm sure th...
