Speaking of kids who were underappreciated as high schoolers, here is a story about kid everyone is familiar with, who had no college interest when he was in high school, but with hard work and a late growth spurt, made himself into a pretty good D1 player.
Christian Davis.....
No question about that. I agree. I've never seen Mason play, but from people who have, they believe he is the best player on a team loaded with kids who have or will have D1 scholarships.
I've heard the same thing but have had others say Zobrist is by far the player with the most potential. They say, actually, he makes everyone else on the team better.
Sounds a lot like Connor Hickman.
... there are no reports yet that either Trey Pettigrew or Emarion Ellis have entered the transfer portal. We don't know what their status is at this point. Even if they did enter the portal, I am not sure the scholarships players can be reused for the 2nd semester.
I've seen a report that Emarion Ellis has entered his name in the transfer portal. There have also been reports that he has considered a transfer to Grambling, but there is no official confirmation.
I still cannot find any report that Trey Pettigrew is in the transfer portal.
I thought I read Ellis was transferring to Nichols State
Nicholls State is correct. I was trying to go by memory, and got the wrong Louisiana school.

Bradley Coach Brian Wardle offers 2024 recruit Keenan Garner of Fishers, Indiana - https://twitter.com/keenan_garner13/status/1759043751006138590
I would be concerned about us bringing in another freshman recruit because that would give us 3 freshman out of the 5 open spots. That leaves us only 2 open spots for transfers unless more players are leaving after this season. We need to replace Leons and could use another shooting guard and a 6-8 inside player or wing.
