We should be doing much better than this.

Francesco Borra is the 6th Aggie to enter the portal. He was injured and missed the entire 2024-25 season.

Is this a new announcement?

Yes, according to verbalcommits.com . I thought he was out of eligibility. The portal closes today also. Not sure if the following applies to Borra:

I thought Tamba was out also, but maybe his JC year now doesn’t count? I would imagine Borra has a year left since he never stepped on the floor this year.

The roster is looking pretty thin right now. It will be interesting to see how things develop going forward.

huh? After playing four seasons? What am I missing?

I didn't realize TY had any eligibility left. NIL for basketball has gone crazy during this portal opening, apparently 3-5x what guys were getting paid before. Everyone is emptying out their NIL funds in anticipation of the upcoming house settlement. TY probably figures he can make more playing for a P4 college program than he would make overseas. Good luck to him.

I don't get it either.

I believe there are lawsuits against the NCAA trying to toss the limits on the number of years of eligibility an athlete has as well as a lawsuit trying to repeal the NCAA rule that does not permit an athlete to play at more than one school during the same season. Big money, greed, lawyers and agents is the new normal in college athletics...

I just noticed that verbalcommits.com is showing that Leo DeBruhl has entered the portal as well.

Wait.....we're losing TY and Leo?!?!?

oh yeah, they used up their eligibility.

.....or....have they?

Saw a blurb that a bunch of players with no eligibility are entering the portal to keep their options open pending a couple court cases.

I agree with Russ Bowlus:

The reason why college basketball players with no remaining eligibility are entering the NCAA transfer portal

Washington State guard, Marcus Wilson, is transferring to UC Davis

Really good get for the Aggies. He was a McDonald's All-American nominee had offers from New Mexico and Freson State before choosing WSU. He only played four games his freshman year before going down with a shoulder injury. Sounds like a good defensive player, which will fit right in.

Here is a very thorough scouting report on Marcus Wilson:

sounds like a really good fit.

If we get a healthy Robeson next year, that’s like we signed another quality transfer.

I also hope that Robinson is healthy. Poor kid definitely has the injury bug

6'2" / 6'3" combo guard.

that’s surprising. I like Pablo but don’t see him as a SEC player. Also, don’t quite understand the eligibility thing

I've stopped trying to make sense of it until COVID is no longer a factor, but even then, I'm sure I'll be confused

I think the JC year might not count. Or it does, but COVID kicked in. Or…..

Well, given some of the current lawsuits against the NCAA for limiting the number years athletes can play, we'll probably be seeing players with who knows how many years of eligibility...seems like professional, college athletics will be here shortly...

I'd like to see us get in a Top 25 Mid-Major Transfer list like this one. UCSB is #3, Hawaii is #13 while UNLV is #1 and 4 other current MWC teams are on this list.

I didn’t realize Mahaney is going to USCB. He should be a real standout

sham list! How is sac not #1 with all their hype and players avg 5.1 ppg and having more felonies Than point avg. lol.
Joking aside. Hoping that we soon start going up the list once we go to MW and fulfill the promises to increase funds toward M and W BB.
At the moment UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCR have an advantage in BB over us, since they don’t have football siphoning a large chunk of their athletic budget.
