2024 Transfer Portal news

Looks like Valparaiso has picked up another portal transfer. One of their top players last season was freshman Cooper Schwieger (13.2 ppg & 5.4 rpg). His twin brother Carson Schwieger went to Wright State and redshirted this past season. But with Wright State's coach Scott Nagy moving to SIU, Carson Schwieger is transferring to Valparaiso. He still has 4 years of eligibility left.

Nebraska's Rienk Mast has not yet made any comment regarding transfer vs return to Nebraska,
but this morning there's one comment from a Husker fan site saying..
"Hearing it may be a knee/surgery issue and not as much about a transfer"
 
Belmont gets a portal commitment from Jonathan Pierre of Memphis. He is a 6'10" forward who played his first 2 college seasons at Nova Southeastern, a Division II school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. One year ago, after averaging 14.5 ppg and 5.2 rpg in helping to lead Nova Southeastern to a 36-0 record and a D2 National Championship, he transferred to Memphis. This past season as a junior at Memphis, he did not do very well at the D1 level. He appeared in 19 games, averaging just 6 minutes per game. He averaged 1.9 ppg and 0.7 rpg.
