Makes sense. Atleast that leaves that answer to rest. From one person on Twitter said Southwick and Jenkins are done. I assume the same for Ethan Mayes

I'd like to see Jenkins come back. Really liked his play/attitude.

Nice article. Looks like he's looking to keep moving forward in basketball.

Very good article. I was especially impressed in reading that the relationship that Melvin previously had with assistant coach Javon Austin carried over into his decision to choose SFA. The hiring of Coach Austin has already paid a big dividend.

BTW, Melvin's dad expects him to get lots of playing time as a true freshman. We shall see if that actually occurs.

Same. But a good fit for him.

And if you get someone decent, even if you pay them there's no requirement for them to stay after a year.
Yeah, if you hit on a freshman at our level (meaning he has a big time freshman year); you pretty much have sealed your fate to only have them for a year.

I think selling out on high school recruits is the way to go if you can't afford to compete in the transfer portal for an ENTIRE team each year.

Ideally, this freshman kid comes in this year and becomes a stud. Hits the transfer portal and secures a huge NIL deal. Now SFA has a built in recruiting pitch to underrecruited high school kids. "Come here, develop, leave and get paid....or stay if you like it."

Sucks for fans who got see guys like Marcus Clark, Jacob Parker, Josh Alexander, Thomas Walkup, etc. develop over 4 years. It's reality. I think coaches who run from it will struggle to recruit, coaches who embrace it land high school guys they didn't typically get in the past.

A little confusing to me on this move. Is this not a lateral move? Could they offer that much more the SFA?
nacluth
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah it's a lateral move. Though that's comparing about five years of basketball and not the last two. I think this just means Matt's time was up here. Inconsistent scoring with poor ball handling overall. He did some incredible things down the stretch two seasons ago, but this past season was a regression. Wish him the best and more success in a new system.

Agree. I don't think this one was about money. Remember he went in the portal last year, and returned because others didn't see a higher NIL value than he had with SFA. And, that was after a better year than this one. Wish him well.

Also just a new coach. You get recruited by a coach and make relationships with the coaches around you. It happens all the time.

Not bad for the minutes he played. Just didn't see the court much.

Coaches Andrus and Austin are following him on twitter

Out of high school he was rated the #8 player in the state of Texas, #47 C and #217 in the nation.

Aren't we close to the end of this transfer portal session?

In that vain, shouldn't we be putting together our last few signings?

The Jacks have signed 5 players plus Christmas and Keon. That's 7.

Probably need to sign 6 more kids
nacluth

The transfer portal has closed. That means no one else can put their names in the portal, but if they haven't been signed yet, they still can be. So everyone can see who's left, now we have to try to pick the best we can.

We are eight players as of now. How many scholarships are available? Question, if we don't fill all available scholarships could some of those resources be used to aid other recruits?

Scholarship limits are fluid as the NCAA works through legislative and legal challenges. It has been 13 for MBB, and it could be 15, but no school has to fill whatever the final limit is. The conference will also have a say in 2025-2026 roster limits.

Isn't Myles Jenkins staying?

I don't see him in the portal.

So doesn't that make 10 currently?

F:#00 JERALD COLONEL 6-9 (SR.)
G/F:#00 CHRISTIAN GREEN 6-6 (JR.)
G/F:#11 CHRISHAWN CHRISTMAS 6-5 (SR.)
G:#00 BRYCESON MELVIN 6-5 (FR.)

G:#5 KEON THOMPSON 6-1 (SR.)
G:#00 AHAMED MOHAMMED 6-1 (SR.)
G:#00 ETHAN MAYES 6-1 (SR.)

And are Southwick, Stone, and Antwi-Boasiako done?

I think Stone / Nana are done. Southwick could have another year…. I believe, since he came from juco.

I heard Southwick was done, but i could be wrong. Mayes was a walk on and there's no reason to assume he would be back.
As far as Jenkins, who knows?

From what I heard Southwick is done as well. Jenkins is a question mark still for me. But the same source told me he's done. So not sure.

Lots of Texas Tech players in the portal, too bad they are too expensive to sign.

F: Kerwin Walton 6-5 ****
G: Elijah Hawkins 5-11
F: Fede Federiko 6-11
G: Kevin Overton 6-5 **** (To Auburn)
F: Eemeli Yalaho 6-8
F: Darrion Williams 6-6 *****
F: Devan Cambridge 6-6 ***

Maybe coach can get one of his Tech boys to come to Nac.
Emeli Yalaho 6'8" 240lbs. That's the size the Jacks need.

Should a player that averaged 5 ppg and 4 rebounds be that hard to get from a big school? Especially one that didn't see the floor some games?
