Transfer Jaida Bond former North Alabama star has announced her commitment to North Florida. Hope they never beat us...best of luck against everyone else. Damn, I didn’t even know she was in the portal. With her sister at UNF, makes you wonder why she didn’t just go there in the first place? I’m feeling pretty jaded about basketball at the moment. We’ll have to learn a new roster every year. Makes me wonder what’s going on with Tiber. She took two of the best players out of the starting lineup (Roberts and Noah) at the end of the season and then we hear Roberts was suspended indefinitely. Now, Bond has transferred one day after it was announced that transfers would no longer have to sit out in basketball and football. Those three were the most experienced players on the entire team. With this new rule, players won’t feel stuck in certain situations or with coaching staffs. The attitude of some coaches may have to change now if they want to keep players around. |

Just hope the women can rebound and defend the post next year. We play smaller lineups typically with our style. Glad to see we are getting some good looking transfer players.

Speaking of Transfer Portal....
Manny Littles and Nicholls State are playing SMU in the NIT right now.

Odd that Omar Figeroua isn’t listed anywhere. Has he committed to someone already? |

Weird transfer to North Alabama mens basketball? Lipscomb guard transferring in same division? Saw that he had committed on Twitter, but I guess just assumed he was a high school guy. Sounds like he might be after more playing time. He played in all of their games this year, but went from being a starter to more of a bench guy later on. This article describes him as "defense-first". I'm happy to have someone with D1 experience, but I hope we are looking for some shooters, as well. luminationnetwork.com/breaking-three-mens-basketball-players-enter-transfer-portal/ |

Jamari Blackmon in the portal... Need to get an experienced frontcourt transfer or 2.

Getting KJ Johnson is a great pickup especially with Jamari transferring.

Jamari Blackmon in the portal... Need to get an experienced frontcourt transfer or 2. I can't be mad. Probably has his degree, and has spent all four years here with us during the transition. I personally hope he can go find playing time at a school that has a chance to make the tournament. If I'm being realistic, I doubt we can do that next year. |

Hopefully we can start to see the benefits of the transfer portal. Basketball is seemingly the sport that has the potential for the quickest turnaround. Pick up two guys from the end of a power five bench and they just might be enough to get you into the top half of the conference.

Recent additions, according to the TimesDaily...
The men signed Eoin Nelson, a 6'10" forward who previously played at Wyoming. Coach Pujol came from UW, of course, so I'm guessing there was communication with their staff that led to this. He only appeared in 16 games the last two seasons due to injuries.
The women added Ruth Balogun, a 5'10" forward from Central Arkansas. She played in 23 games last year, starting two. They also signed Lexus Green, a 5'5" guard from Cal State-Bakersfield. She played in 22 and started in 7 last year.
To be completely honest none of these players are bringing great stat lines, but hopefully there are factors beyond their control that caused that (injuries could obviously be one). Hopefully they will all be great for us.
