He’d also be a perfect fit to take over for Walker at MSU. 

hmm...

 

This is where the rubber will hit the road.  All these other teams out there with the same agenda to build a top 25 team.  The media will give benefit of doubt to coaches who do it consistently.  Can't blame them, anyone would.  Can Woody do anything in the portal to build a top 25 team?  That's my question.  What kind of roster does he have to build to get that type of attention and make winning easier on him?

Tyson is interesting because what position would Woody want him to play. He seems like a 3 at this level, but does that mean MM is gone? Will MM finally play the 4? Do they think Tyson could play the 2? It's super early but so far I have only really seen them target backup level rim protectors...maybe they finally learned and MR will be at the 5. 

We should absolutely get Hickman. Two MVC transfers were absolutely key to the two best teams in the league this year in Domask and Jones, and Hickman would be here in a heartbeat if offered. He wants to come home.

That's not what is being floated, rumor-wise, at all.

I haven't. I am simply regurgitating what's been posted on these sites, in regards to Hickman. 

Buuut--- Rabjohns is saying Connor is visiting this weekend

Not sure if we would have any interest or how his game would be in a power 5 conference

I have wondered along the way about MM at the 3. I do not think he will leave unless for the draft because of it. It became clear early on he is a college 4, and playing him there would have probably resulted in more results like we saw at the end of the season. That said, he clearly envisions himself as a 3 and was promised minutes at the 3 here and Woody to his credit or detriment stuck to it when he was clearly a liability on defense (benching instead of going small). He got better, but if we were looking at it from a purely program wins standpoint a lineup of Ware, MM, TG, X, GC with MR off the bench probably wins more games. That is a long winded way of saying I do not think MM transfers, its NBA or bust.

Arrest[edit]

Johnson pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges in December 2022 for simple assault and strangulation, stemming from a September 5th incident in the same year where he struck a woman multiple times, causing bruising, and forcing her head into a bed, making it difficult for her to breathe. Johnson was suspended from the Pitt Men's basketball team during this period, but was reinstated after pleading guilty. Johnson was sentenced to a year of probation and required to complete batterer's intervention. Johnson took a redshirt in the 2022–23 season as a result.^[3][4][5] Subsequently, the university announced in August 2023 that Johnson was no longer enrolled.^[6] Shortly after, Johnson matriculated at Clarendon College, a community college in Texas.^[7]

Where does Bryson Tucker fit?  He's a 5 star who will most likely be guaranteed starting wherever he goes.  It looks like he could play the 2 or 3.  I think Reneau will mostly play the 4 this year.  Assuming we bring in a starting center that would leave Reneau at 4, Mgbako the 3 and Tucker the 2.  That means a portal point guard with Galloway backing up the 3, 2, and 1; Leal backing up the 2 and 3, Cupps backing up the 1, and Newton backing up the 2.  If we get Tucker, I'm not seeing a lot of guard minutes for any incoming transfer outside of a starting point guard. Not sure where any small school guards are going to compete for minutes if we get Tucker.

Tucker is a 3.  Would think it would necessitate MM at the 4.

This would mean Reneau at the 5 or coming off the bench.  Defensively, Reneau cannot play the 5 against good teams or teams with a large post player.  I'm just not seeing us as a fit for Tucker unless MgBako goes pro. I just don't see Tucker going anywhere without being promised a starting role.

Sounds like he'd fit in well at MSU.
