I know a few threads have already started, but several of you have asked for an official pinned three to use…so here you go.

So basically the exact type of big men we normally sign....

Another intriguing prospect I like, I have no clue if we are in contact with him or not but, Jamille Reynolds- Cincinnati big man.

Doesn't appear to contribute much based on stats...
Doesn't score, but also doesn't rebound? Boots has more rebounds than this guy.
NEWS: Michigan State big man Mady Sissoko has entered the transfer portal, per source.
— 24/7 High School Hoops (@247HSHoops) April 4, 2024
Sissoko is a former 4⭐️ recruit who played four years at Michigan State. Started 59 games the last two seasons.
He averaged 3.3PPG and 5.1RPG this season. Shot 56.8% from the floor. pic.twitter.com/NNGnV0LCLU

Only played 15 mins a game, I bet if he got 25 mins his stats would look better.

Much rather have Kyle if we are wishing.
Won't be playing 25 mins here either. He could fill Leveque's role I guess...pierceshipp said:

I don't know much about Michigan State other than they played much smaller this year. Sissoko only averaged 15 min per game. He would be a solid rotation player for us but not someone I would expect to be a major contributor.

Or both, bring Sissoko off the bench with Kyle starting. I personally think Kyle is a pipe dream now that his name has gotten out, but I would be ecstatic to get him.

Sissoko is better than Aku. He might not be as good offensively as Marble but is more athletic.

Hey, Leveque had his own issues, but he could grab a basketball. Aku had tongs for hands. The worst hands of any player I can remember.

This is an in-depth look at what P5 schools need and are targeting... Transfer portal team needs 2.0
Nothing earth-shattering at all for A&M. Actually kind of a half-hearted summary:

Quote:
TEXAS A&M
- Priority: Game-changing lead guards | Texas A&M will certainly lose Tyrese "Boots" Radford, and Wade Taylor IV has an interesting stay-or-go decision to make. Texas A&M will need a jolt of playmaking and scoring from the portal.
- Don't overlook: If Andersson Garcia and Henry Coleman III both use their fifth year of eligibility, and Solomon Washington runs it back, Buzz Williams shouldn't have to mess around with much frontcourt help in the portal.

In reply to rlb28
Yeah, not really a very good summary. We absolutely need front court help in the portal.
12:00p, 4/5/24
Other than these laundry lists of players entering the portal and receiving interest from the Aggies, is there any news about visits by players in the portal or visits by Buzz or staff with players in the portal or perhaps just players that we had previously recruited and we were a finalist for that are in the portal.
Otherwise these are long lists of players we've contacted with no real substance to their recruitment...

Seems to be the trend the last few years. Contact as many players as possible, but miss on all the early targets. It's going to be another few weeks before we get a commit.

So there's nothing in between such as so and so is visiting Texas A&M. Somewhere I read a headline behind a pay wall that said Buzz was visiting so and so who is in the transfer portal.

Pretty bad write-up, assuming they mean Wade is looking at the NBA…
And we absolutely need another starter at the 5 spot at the bare minimum… and that's assuming Mills can contribute early at the 2.

There is a recruiting dead period for the week around Final 4 weekend that ends after tomorrow, so I think we'll start seeing more info regarding visits and such start trickling out after that.
