I noticed the post for women's basketball that Alex Rouse went to Eastern.Do they have any starters left on the team.Something must be going on that they don't want to play for this coach.

Is this fallout from the events that resulted in the coach’s suspension last season?

I would hope it's a fallout from their poor season, and results in a talent upgrade.

A couple more MVC players are in the transfer portal-
Evansville big man Sekou Kalle has entered the portal. He is a 6'10" junior forward who played his freshman season at Akron in 2021-22. Then he transferred to Evansville 2 years ago and played 18 minutes per game as a sophomore (2022-23), averaging 3.1 ppg and 3.9 rpg. Then this past season, he played very sparingly (6.7 mpg) and averaged just 1.8 ppg and 1.5 rpg.

UIC's Jaden Brownell is also in the portal. He is a 6'9", 230 pound sophomore forward. He looked good at times in the games he played against Bradley, but he never seemed to get a lot of playing time for Luke Yaklich. He averaged 3.6 ppg and 1.7 rpg as a freshman and 6.1 ppg and 2.4 rpg as a sophomore in limited playing time. But for a big man, he seemed to mostly hang around the 3-point line, which explains his skimpy rebounding numbers. And, nearly half of his career shot attempts at UIC were three pointers.

As of now, only 1 player remains on the Missouri State team who is eligible to return who scored any points for them this past season.
Nick Kramer's 30 total points in the 2023-24 season are the only points from this past season set to return next year.

One guy, from Normal, IL, and a 3-star (don't remember his position or name) had committed to Wright State, but decommitted and followed Nagy to SIU. The other guy is from Texas Tech, but didn't play this past season as he was a redshirt. This is the portal guy.
