2026 Portal Prospects

[*23*]

He never had much offensive game. Bulldog on defense but not a scorer.

Another former HS target…

Ryan Soulis is back in the portal.

23 would pay him $800,000.

 

[*23*]

I dont even see Soulis in the portal? If he is he sure isn't marketing himself well as no mention on his x page.

 

[*23*]

I think sman is looking at his 2025 announcement?

I'll only offer him 75k now, Homenick will have to move to PWO.

 

[SFspidur]

I don't see an announcement from him, but Verbal Commits has him in the portal today.

Ryan Soulis is back in the portal.

Wow surprised by that one

 

[*23*]

Regarding Soulis, I wonder if he has a destination already in place. Not looking up his stats, he got plent of PT early on and put up some decent numbers. Without looking up his game logs, I feel like his production dropped off as the season went along. Other than his status being in the portal according to verbal commits, there is ZERO on the web about this. Would seem if exploring options at least he or agent would tweet it out.

Colt Langdon - again this seems like the kind of guy we should zero in. I get it, he may be looking for anothetr p4 landing spot. But we were involved with him out of HS. Big recruit choose Butler over LSU, Notre Dame, Va Tech. Has not played much in two years due to injury. Has 3 or probably 4 years remaining. I feel like there are 40-50 guys out there under utilized at p5 level we should be hammering away at.

 

[*23*]

Not great numbers for Soulis at Columbia - 5pts 5 Rebs per game, 20 % from 3. I'll give this round to 4700. I would still give him 75k to come in and be big man depth . If his agent can get him 800K, he deserves a 25% cut.

 

[sman]

you have to do more than Soulis did to move up in conference.
I predict Patriot League.

 

[Spider17]

This is a realistic and good target I think we should go after.

nice numbers, but he's an old school low block 5. probably not a Mooney offense fit.
Kropp is still my priority.

 

[Spider17]

Kropp is too small to play the 5 in my opinion. Would be good at the 4 spot. This team needs some size. Especially if we’re going to have a backcourt of 2 guards under 6’ playing at the same time.

First Twitter mention I've seen of Soulis being in the portal.

same size at TJ was. TJ was most effective at the 5.

 

[Spider17]

same size at TJ was. TJ was most effective at the 5.

Fair point. I guess it depends on what the staff wants to do. If they still want to implement the same system and find guys that fit that system, Kropp could be a good fit. I still think we need size at the 5 spot more than anything else. Helps open up more options on offense and defense schematics. We’ve been exposed a lot the past couple of years for our lack of size. Otherwise we need really good shooters but we haven’t been able to land those kinds of players lately. Lack of size and average to below average 3 point shooting will not bode well for us next year. Both offensively and defensively where we are already having defensive problems with mismatches.

 

[sman]

Kropp at the 5 (6'9" 230), Daughtry at the 4 (6'7" 230), Langdon at the 3 (6'7" 225) would be big enough for me!

This is a realistic and good target I think we should go after.

But is he a southpaw?

Some of these are not typically teams we are recruiting against.
