NJ Benson from Missouri State is in the portal.

Best post defender in the Valley. Crazy athletic. Good shot blocker. Doesn't give you a ton offensively but he's a really nice player.

Definitely worth kicking the tires on.
Darius Hannah and Tytan Anderson were a few pretty interesting guys from the MVC from when I have watched (though we hopefully don’t steal anyone from UNI).

Wouldn't be surprised if Drake doesn't find their replacement for Brodie from within the conference. They are really only a center away from owning the Valley for at least one more year. They may already have their Tucker type alpha scorer on campus. Chico Johnson i believe without verifying the last name was a 4 star that's redshirting due to a knee injury in HS.

Both great players.

Guarantee Anderson isn't transferring and I'd be pretty surprised if Hannah did though it's impossible to count him out of he gets sick of the ******* that is Brian Wardle

Anyone know the kind of money ISU is working with when it comes to NIL? I know no one knows specifics but just kind of wondering where they stack up comparatively.

Hopefully we can get a guy with two years left. I would take a one and done impact big man but the way our centers have developed, the second year would be a nice portal addition
Ideally sure but the portal isn't ideal
In my mind the priority for the best available C who is ready to play immediately at the big 12 level . If that multiple years great but if it is a 1 year player so be it.
Rock is already the development big role. I would prefer not to have to force him to start before ready next year but fully expect him to be after 2 years in the system.

Just a quick Google of him says that he's from England. Not sure he is eligible for NIL.
Huge value there

My daughter cheered at Drexel and I've watched a majority of their games the last several years.
Amari will be a grad transfer so he'll only have one year. I'm a bit surprised he's not just heading straight to Europe to be honest.
He is very athletic, but unpolished basketball skills (ie - he can't shoot a lick). He's very similar to Ward and BRE without the E. I'd like to see if TJ could bring the best out of him.

From what I understand it's very unclear whether international students can get NIL. Several attorney's have filed motions saying they can be paid with a proper visa.
