Portal Possibilities???

[Cooley]

Now that we know we have at least 2 open slots, please list realistic UNT portal possibilities. Recent history has shown that the team will go Juco in its search. However, some notable local names to ponder: 

Cameron Barnes - Slim 6-10 kid just entered the portal from Ole Miss. Still raw but started at center for powerhouse Duncanville the last 3 years. Should be a redshirt                                              freshman

Drew Steffe -  Never played his freshman season at Tech. Family issues caused him to withdraw from the program. Big time 6-5 recruit out of Frisco Memorial. Great shooter.

Davion Sykes - Texas State transfer and another former Duncanville Panther. Good wing prospect that may have undersigned

Eddie Lampkin Jr - Colorado & TCU transfer. 6-11, 265 from Morton Ranch HS in Houston. Would move right into the starting center position.

Ashton Smith - 6-9, 270 from Oral Roberts. Played with Aaron Smith in HS. Not great but a big body

Duncan Powell - Sacramento State & NC State transfer from DeSoto, TX. Played one year with Chris Morgan. 

Micah Peevy - TCU & Texas Tech - Excellent player out of Duncanville HS where he played for father David. Will more than likely stay P5 or enter the draft

Jakobe Coles - TCU & Oklahoma - 6-7 C/F that played on a very good Denton Guyer team

Alex Anamekwe - UT transfer. Very good HS player out of McKinney HS. 6-5

Lee Dort - Vanderbilt transfer. 6-10, 245. May have little interest since he was arrested for aggravated assault of his ex girlfriend. From McKinney, TX

Abou Ousmane - 6-10 big transfer from Xavier. Former Mean Green starting center

One positive here is we probably could enlist Rondel's help in landing him given they were teammates at TCU.  I love also that he is from Duncanville.

he quit the exact same way 3/4ths of our roster did. get over it.

I had heard he wasn't invited back but who really knows.

How do these guys that go to three or four different schools ever graduate?  Maybe everything has changed since the Dinosaur days?  I remember losing some credits when I transferred to NTSU and I thought your last 30 hours had to come from your final school?   That was a long time ago and maybe things have changed with the portal.....lol
