Not offered by Towson, but had some pretty big names offer him including Cincinnati and Va. Tech. Rarely played. https://verbalcommits.com/players/michael-gray Just looking for a pure scorer who can play some point and dominate at a mid-major? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4395880/sam-sessoms https://verbalcommits.com/players/sam-sessoms I’m leery of guys who rarely played, big offers notwithstanding (see, Victor U & Mims). Would prefer guys who have an established track record, say who averaged 10ppg or so at their old school and are looking for more minutes, or a change of scenery or whatever. Holden & Nolan are the templates. Glad to see Wynter from Drexel gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's just interesting considering where he played in HS and he's definitely a mid-major guy. Turge didn't recruit very well at the end. There will be plenty of point guards out there and we have to hit a home run or at least a triple with this pick up. Not a double. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s tough not playing for two years or more and expecting them to be good. can they do well two year in a row in the portal?? Hopefully. It’s about fit and maybe after this year (players and wins) transfers see Towson as a decent destination Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s early, in the sense that hundreds more players will be entering the portal, but our staff needs to be vetting the hundreds already who’ve jumped in the pool.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m going to assume Nolan & Rizzuto are gone, and that Jones & Gill are likely candidates to move on. That’s 4 open ships. Realistically, we’re not going to hit 4 home runs, but we can’t can’t afford more than 1 strike out Edited March 17, 2022 by TSU88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point. Maybe the thing to do (assuming we’re going to be bringing in 4 portal guys) is to bring in a high ceiling guy who didn’t play much at his old school, along with a bunch of guys with proven track records. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d like to think, maybe it’s me being an optimist, but our more open style of play and our success this season will make us a more attractive landing spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also will be a big factor of who is back with us. Nolan cam and Rizzuto did their homework on our team and staff which is just as important as the staff doing the same with them. if a kid is smart enough to say: ok I do this well but I’m not the most athletic and this team has a hole there. Maybe I should try and go there. Hopefully we see this more with the 1585742 transfers out there instead of in the past guys disgruntled with 8 mpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
