Post Season Transfer Portal...

[JDonAB92]

West Liberty's Aiden Satterfield has entered the portal. He was a real good player coming out of Charleston Catholic. He is very athletic.

After a enjoyable, successful season DS and CAL U need to keep as many as possible in order to take the next step. Of the four significant underclass players two feel secure, Zyon Collins and Bryson Lucas, and two a bit iffy, Alston and Palek. Collins seems to be set to take over the PG spot and as the only senior will need to lead. Lucas got a good amount of PT late in the year and with or without Alston will still be a necessary front court player who seems to accept the DS METHOD. Alston's status is totally up in the air and will be resolved some time soon. Palek is the third strong freshman player who fits the odd but real description of skilled white guy who can be much more with time. The first two, McAdams, '18-'19, (started every game for 401 pts and 220 rbds) and House, '19-'20, ( started every game for 393 pts and 180 rbds) left after one year. Hopefully this year's success will lead KP to stay put.
Almost forgot Jermaine Hall Jr who is very talented ('19-'20-11.2 ppg/7.3 rpg) and if recovered from his medical issue will be a likely starter.
The remainder of the roster, Freshman Singleton, McQueen, Slaughter,Jimerson, Sparks, Peccon, Maxwell and Whitehead, RS Fr Borden and Soph Berry don't look to get more playing time except possibly Borden, Slaughter and Jimerson. Aside from those three the chances of the others entering the TP seems good and to be realistic won't matter.

Both Williamses are on the list. So I counted:

Scarborough
J. Williams
T. Williams
Fallon

I'm not sure which other two Columbuseer is counting.

If my math is correct, and all of the players actually leave, the PIONEERS will begin the '22 season with 2-Soph, 5-Jr and 1-Sr. On the up side, there looks like a bumper crop of available players looking to relocate. Although a good many simply because they aren't good enough to start on a decent team.

In the age of the transfer portal, it's starting to look like you can no longer redshirt a guy.

Wonder how that will effect Howlett and "Redshirt Joe" who have made a habit of using the redshirt.

Think of this: if Shawndale doesn't get hurt and Dillard is still redshirted, is it possible Dillard questions his role and enters the portal? So in a weird way, did Shawndale's injury save you another year or two of Dillard? Purely hypothetical, of course.

But it does seem like it's become really difficult to build a team for more than a single year with the portal. Every team has to become the KR Rock teams of old with a new roster every year!

Hate to say it but a significant exception to this trend is everyone's favorite C'HAWKS of IUP. Whatever wizardry JL is using it seems extremely effective in retaining high quality starters and subs.

I used to think it was just W's. If you win, guys want to hang around. But WLU seems to be proving the exception to that rule this offseason (and the offseason is only a week old!).

Many coaches 'coach speak' about being a family. But many of those coaches are car salesmen and not respected by their players.

That whole 'Hawk Family' thing at IUP is very real.

Apparently that is the case !!

Verbal Commits reports that West Liberty's Will Yoakum has entered the portal, and VC reports that West Lib got a commitment from Finley Woodward.

We were already braced for Yoakum's departure. He is graduating and walked on Senior Night declaring that his time here was finished.

Hahahaha!! We'll just bring in another 6'2" shooting guard with a high basketball IQ to replace him. We play position less basketball on the Hilltop so a 5'11" player who can shoot the 3 and handle the ball is just a likely to be in the starting rotation as your only 6'7" guy. We'll just rain thousands of 3's on em' and get a million steals!!!

Charleston lost freshman PG Marcos Martinez
