Meechie Johnson, Jr., an Ohio State transfer guard, has committed to Lamont Paris and the Gamecocks.

This may turn out to be a VERY good grab for Coach Paris. It remains to be seen, but Hayden Brown is the real deal and one of the most multi-faceted players I've seen in a while. Now how that translates to the SEC is an unknown right now but I, personally, like this transfer.

Federico isn’t a surprise… his adoptive family lives in PA, and he finished his HS in PA (after starting in CA, post move from Finland), so he’ll be close to “home” at Pitt.

South Carolina recently hosted 6'11" rising Sophomore JuCo big man Fede Federiko. Federico averaged 11.7 points/59.4 percent shooting, 57% from the free-throw line, and 8.6 rpg in junior college this year. Fede recently de-committed from West Virginia, and has shown interest in Pittsburgh...

Jermaine was rumored to have been in close contact with 3-4 schools who were interested in him. I don't see him returning. Brandon Martin likely will transfer out as well. He's a grad student now, so he doesn't technically have to play if he wants to do the schooling instead of that PLUS...

Evansville transfer Troy Boynton… Interestingly Boynton will start out as a walk-on due to the wrist surgery he had as a Freshman at Evansville. Never played due to surgery, but coach Paris recruited Troy heavily while at Chattanooga...

Juwan Gary… now there’s an interesting name to crop up with the coaching change.

Looks like Keyshawn is declaring for the NBA draft. In my mind that's a bad decision for him, after the season he had this year. He's got plenty of potential for the NBA, but he still needs to fine tune a few things on his game, as far as I'm concerned. Best wishes to him, though. I'd love...

Paris' staff is starting to take shape. He has hired Tanner Bronson and Eddie Shannon, who follow him from his staff at Chattanooga, after the hire of New Chattanooga Head Men's Basketball Coach Dan Earl. Tanner Bronson profile (Chattanooga) Eddie Shannon profile (Chattanooga) Bronson is an...

@TheYancey ... first staff member just announced for Lamont Paris. It's an off-the court role, but Carey Rich returns to his alma mater - helping with Alumni Relations and other duties to be assigned.

I'm going to have to see Coach Paris and his 2022-23 squad in action. Some of the things he mentioned in this article make me a little sick to my stomach, but I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt at present. He'll get one "gimme" season right off the bat, as he was put behind...

Both guys are quality assistant coaches. Steele has a big future ahead of him if he keeps things up the way he has been doing. Great recruiter, and great on-the-floor coach. Kids seem to relate well to him, and he to them.

Posted about this over in the recruiting part of the forum, but thought this was an interesting addition to the portal... https://scnow.com/sports/college/hartsvilles-trae-hannibal-enters-transfer-portal-again/article_7fef3188-af93-11ec-afe5-fbe743b2f3be.html Sorry... it's a paid link, but...

I noted that today, Rahsool Diggins (PG - UConn) has entered the portal. In my mind, that's a pretty sexy pick for new HC Lamont Paris to chase after. He's not going to be as high profile of a candidate, simply because he didn't get a huge amount of playing time as a Freshman. That being...

Nice to see Frank looking invigorated and energized about the change of scenery. He's going to succeed at UMass. They've got the resources and the facilities and the history as a program. I used to love watching UMass play back in the Calipari days. Marcus Camby and company... that was some...

I don’t know whether that is true or not. What I CAN tell you for certain is that I saw most of the players in a pick-up game at the Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center about 30-45 minutes after his official announcement as coach (which the players were supposedly at).

It does not mean that at all @kingofnerf. Senior day is literally what it says… those who are In their senior year academically. Some players graduate early (due to having enough classes), and others graduate as grad students who finish their eligibility on the court, though they may still be...

It’ll be interesting to see if Key sticks around. He’s got the most to gain by having a much improved final season, since he was a fairly serious NBA consideration a few years ago. But going elsewhere could improve his profile as well

Cousinard is in the portal now as well.

But that doesn’t mean it HAS to be that amount. McMahon was a hot commodity, so he could command his price. Don’t get me wrong… I want Coach Paris to succeed. Heck, I want GG to come play for him. Does that mean $2.2M? I’m not in a position to say one way or the other. Just seems steep...
