Clarence Rupert from SIU transfers to Iona

The Redbirds snagged UNI's Landon Wolf from the portal. Pedon said he needed to address shooting in the off season and that's what he's done with Wolf and 6'5 xfer from North Dakota State, Boden Skunberg. There will be some more length at the guard spot for the Birds next year.

If they can keep Kinziger and land a solid big with the final scholarship, they should be primed for a top 4 finish next year with all of the turnover and newness in the league next year.

Personally, I think Wolf is a really good player.
More playing time would have served him well last year at UNI. Same with Duax. We just did't have enough time to give those players.

I wish we hadn't lost him - but I'm glad he's staying in the Valley. I'll cheer for him as a Redbird.

A 4th place team didn’t have enough minutes for two good players?

SIU's Scottie Ebube to Green Bay where he will be reunited with Foster Wonders and former Mullins assistant, Pat Monaghan.

Losing Ebube is a tough one. A player with two years left, and tons of potential. I hope Nagy has a surprise or two to add soon from the portal. We shall see.

I thought he was a great get out of HS and wanted Bradley to get him. He was pretty sporadic his two years in Carbondale. His FT problems were a major issue. Maybe a fresh start in a lesser league will help him.

Ebube had trouble staying conditioned and couldn’t play more than 20 minutes a night. Thought if he applied himself, he could be really good in the Valley and was still holding out hope.

SIU needs to up their recruiting now. Steffe and Webber are good gets but neither has played a collegiate minute yet. Can’t build a team of Freshmen and D2 guys and expect to not lose 20 next year. And if you do play the two Freshman heavy minutes, they’re at risk of getting poached by the big boys right away.

Green Bay having Ebube and Cole Henry is about as good a duo of bigs as one could hope for in the Horizon League plus they nailed the coaching hire last year. They are on their way up.

I'm "meh" on the coach. A whole lot of flash there - gonna wait and see on the substance.
