COMMITTED:
Trevon Brazile - Missouri (COMMITTED TO
): 6'9", 215 - 6/5 on 53/33/62. Solid freshman season and huge upside with a ton of potential.
CONTACTED:
Toni Rocak - UC San Diego (LOW): 6'8", 220 - 15/7/2 on 47/25/67. Productive bigs at smaller schools are huge risks. See Kevin Marfo from Quinnipiac to TAMU and back a couple years ago.
Jomaru Brown - Easter Kentucky (MEDIUM): 6'2", 190 - 12/2/2/2 on 38/31/79.
Jaelin Llewellyn - Princeton (HIGH): 6'2", 175 - 16/4/3 on 45/39/70.
Neal Quinn - Lafayette (MEDIUM): 7'0", 280 - 15/7/4 on 55/40/71. (The 40% is super low volume).
Curt Lewis - Eastern Kentucky (LOW): 6'5", 220 - 10/5 on 38/34/55.
James Graham III - Maryland (LOW): 6'8", 205 - only appeared in 9 games in two years. 4-star in the 2020 class.
Sean Durugordon - Missouri (LOW): 6'7", 210 - 3/1 per game. 3-star in the 2021 class.
Fardaws Aimaq - Utah Valley (HIGH): 6'11, 245 - 19/14 on 49/44/72.
Jalen Bridges - West Virginia (MEDIUM): 6'7", 220 - 8/5 on 43/33/82.
Cam Wynter - Drexel (HIGH): 6'2", 175 - 16/5/5/ on 43/28/86. Three point shooting was oddly down this year. Was 33, 36, and 42 percent each of the previous three years from beyond the arc.
Isaiah Cottrell - West Virginia (MEDIUM): 6'10", 240 - 4/3 on 34/32/54. Could just be a big guy they try to get in the system to spell Jaylin that's better/bigger than Kamani.
Austin Williams - Hartford (MEDIUM): 6'4", 200 - 16/5/3 on 50/31/62. Good size and good rebounding guard, which both are typically big criteria for Muss. Just don't think he'd fit next year's roster and doesn't shoot well enough from the line.
Xavier Foster - Iowa State (MEDIUM): 7', 230 - 4 and 2 on 63/75/71. Only appeared in 7 games in 2020-2021 and minutes were sparse. Had two games playing over 10 minutes where he averaged 9/3 and a block on 60/100/60 splits against Iowa and Kansas State. Of note: he was recently cleared of a sexual assault allegation and looking to find a new place to rebuild his reputation. Foster was a 4-star and 66th-ranked player in the 2020 class.
Gus Okafor - SE Louisiana (MEDIUM): 6'6", 230 - 15/6/2 on 42/33/79. All-Southland selection this year. Solid player, but another undersized forward. Can spread the floor.
Noah Carter - Northern Iowa (MEDIUM): 6'6", 230 - 15/4/2 on 48/30/79. All-MVC selection. Pretty identical to Okafor.
Brandon Murray - LSU (HIGH): 6'5", 215 - 10/3/2 on 43/34/68. Started 32 of 33 games for LSU as a true freshman. Was a four-star and 73rd overall prospect in the 2021 class.
Jermaine Couisnard - South Carolina (HIGH): 6’4”, 210 - 12/3/3 on 40/32/68. Will be a better rebounder in Muss’s system and is a very strong defender 1-3.
AJ McGinnis - Cincinnati (LOW): averaged 2 points and 5 minutes in 8 games this season.
Triston Newton - ECU (HIGH): 6'5", 200 - 18/5/5 on 44/33/88. All-AAC this season. Veteran guard could help with experience on a team full of young guards coming in.
Will Richard - Belmont (MEDIUM): 6'5", 195 - 12/6/2 on 47/33/80. Solid player at the mid major level who could be a role player here, but only a freshman this past year. Hard to see them going after someone so young with six freshmen coming in.
Isaih Moore - Southern Miss (MEDIUM): 6'10", 205 - 13 and 7 on 53/31/69. Played for MA at SJU. Looking to play for his fifth school in five years. Not a bad player and has good potential, but a mental headcase off the court.
Samuell Williamson - Louisville (MEDIUM): 6'7", 210 - 6/4 on 46/15/57. Best season was as a sophomore in 2020-2021 when he averaged 10 and 8 on 48/25/71 splits.
Ali Ali - Akron (MEDIUM): 6'8", 205 - 14/3/3 on 46/41/72. Not sure where he'd fit with the recent Brazile addition, but an intriguing prospect nonetheless. Pretty high volume shooter for his size and very good percentage.
Tray Maddox - Cal State Fullerton (MEDIUM): 6'6", 200 - 10/3/2 on 41/33/83 this past season. The year prior put up way better numbers - 16/3/2 on 45/41/67.
Efton Reid - LSU (HIGH): 6'11", 240 - 6/4 on 52/25/48. Haven't seen anything "public" about staff making contact with Reid but spoke to a source that said there was mutual interest there.
Eric Williams - Oregon (MEDIUM): 6'6", 200 - 8/5 on 38/35/68. Good size and decent enough shooter. I'll have to watch film on him first but seems more like a guy they'd take to replace Toney in the event he doesn't come back.
Johni Broome - Morehead State (HIGH): 6'10", 235 - 17/10 and 4 blocks on 56/0/63. Good size and obvious rim protection. Stats are there. Always a potential issue with how the stats translate from low major to high major, especially for a big man.
Keeshawn Barthelemy - Colorado (HIGH): 6'2", 165 - 11/2/2 on 42/35/83. Solid guard prospect but not as experienced as staff is looking for to assist with younger guys I don't think.
Manny Bates - NC State (HIGH): 6'11", 230 - 10/6 and 3 blocks on 64/0/69. Did not play this most recent season due to injury.
Tyree Appleby - Florida (HIGH): 6'1", 170 - 11/2/4 on 36/34/85. Crafty with the basketball. Arkansas native. Good free throw shooter. Veteran. Checks a lot of boxes.
Makhel Mitchell - Rhode Island (HIGH): 6'10", 245 - 11/6 and 2 blocks on 50/0/53.
Makhi Mitchell - Rhode Island (HIGH): 6'9", 230 - 10/7 and 1 block on 52/30/52. The twins are a package deal and have good size. Again have the issue of mid major bigs. Both four-star recruits in the 2019 class, they initially committed and signed to Maryland.
Jalen Graham - Arizona State (HIGH): 6'9", 220 - 10/5/2 on 49/06/53. Stats really improved once he became a regular starter. A lot of high major experience, athletic, and capable inside scorer. Good size, too. Should commit today - April 6th.
Luis Rodriguez - Ole Miss (MEDIUM): 6'6", 210 - 7/6/2 on 35/30/65. Good size, and consistent starter for two years in the SEC. Balanced player. Probably a backup option for a wing spot.
Devin Carter - South Carolina (MEDIUM): 6'3", 190 - 9/4/2 on 42/27/69. Probably another backup option but good high major experience.
Terrence Shannon - Texas Tech (HIGH): 6'6", 210 - 10/3/2 on 46/38/78. Would be a huge addition. Highest priority to replace Toney.
