Transfer portal

[tomahawk chop]

Good points! I have thought about doing a study on where all the transfer players actually went, up, down or lateral

Most of the valley players that went to bigger schools have played less minutes and do not start for their teams. I do not see Jones or Domask starting next season. I guess it comes down to what players are actually looking for when they leave a school that they were starters and end up not playing as much for their new one.

I prefer to believe it is because he got a better offer from a better school lots closer to home,
altho his brother was just hired as an assistant basketball coach at a nearby school.

That's where I thought he would end up if not in Central Illinois.

[Da Coach]

As noted above, Belmont lands a portal transfer from North Carolina- Will Shaver, a 6'10" redshirt-freshman forward originally from Birmingham, Alabama. He was a 3-star, Top 150 player out of high school. He chose North Carolina over offers from Stanford, Illinois, Wake Forest, Purdue, Iowa, Florida State, Georgetown, Alabama, Virginia Tech and others. He enrolled at UNC in January, 2022, but did not play in any games in the 2021-22 season, and apparently received a redshirt year. In 2022-23, his stats show he appeared briefly in 3 games (a total of 6 minutes), and scored a total of 2 points on free throws, and had 1 rebound.
