Or do we at least still have those restrictions, at least in theory, in place?

Love Sheldon but he just hasn't shown he can score at will. Great 3pt shooter but sometimes we need a little more than that. I think Sheldon can see similar improvement that we saw with Hadaway once he gets the opportunity to open up his game a little more. It was clear that Sheldon was assigned as the "shoot first think later" guy but I think he has more in his bag. Once Hadaway was solidified as a starter, we started to see him flourish and I think Sheldon has that same possibility. I'm very bullish on his defense as he is quick and explosive. I am nervous about portal season. Not sure we can afford to have too many guys leave as we were already pretty thin and obviously had 2 open scholarships and limited NIL resources. Once again, our positions of need carry a steep price.

Great 3pt shooter but sometimes we need a little more than that. If we need to find a Dwight Wilson to be a little bit better, that's not a good thing. Wilson was one of the best players in the conference. If we're relying on that sort of difference maker in the portal, that's a tall ask. As for Mitchell, I'm sort of torn. He mostly won me over this season, but I think a team that has him as #1 ball handler is going to have a limited ceiling. He's fearless, gets to the line well, and doesn't turn the ball over. But unless his three point shooting and passing improves, I worry the offense will struggle.

Jesse Burris can get a lot of buckets, but who knows how much he will play as a freshman. Saw Whitt re-entered last week. Would love to revisit him as an option. Looks like his minutes got cut down towards end of January. Dropped 20 in his last game, though. A few 10 assist games early on.

For example, Boals just started following NJ Benson who entered the portal from Missouri State. Exactly what we need, but as we learned last year — experienced and productive size comes at a premium. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/...

Feels like someone who might end up at NC State for a little veteran depth, but feel like he could step in to the Jaylin role. Dude's not a good enough shooter. Less than 40% from the field, 27% from three. I'd rather roll the dice with Sheldon in those minutes than have the ball in Whitt's hands that much. Boals' offense requires a lead guard that can shoot. Hard pass on Whitt.

You have to pay in order to see the transfer date, I guess? Sorting by school is nice on this one. https://www.verbalcommits.com/transfers Colin Granger back in the portal.

Averaged 12/6 for the Raiders and had 6 double-doubles. Looks like he got better and better as the year went along. Not a very good FT shooter but has improved throughout career. Doesn't play outside (only 2 career three point attempts). I believe we offered him out high school. To quote Mel Kiper during the NFL Draft: "he fits an immediate need." https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/aj-braun-1/g... Had 16/7 against Toledo early in the year. That's gotta count for something right? Looking at the Wright State stats, it looks like he was the 2nd option when it came to post players or played the traditional big man role with Brandon Noel was the stretch 4 type.
