Trey Pettigrew to Eastern Michigam

Good luck to Trey, and especially to Stan Heath, Eastern Michigan coach.

The 2024 Transfer Portal shows that Eastern Michigan lost 10 players from the 2023-24 team to the portal.

Their 2024-25 roster page currently shows only 5 players, so it looks like Trey might get a lot of playing time - https://emueagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

Tommy, the 6 points wouldn't be a problem. The rebounds could get iffy......then I'm making no promises about anything defensively.

I will need an oxygen mask and EMT's courtside at each game.

I think with an oxygen tank and your ability to block out, the boards would be a piece of cake for you, bro.

Yes, a little unusual. There is very little info about him anywhere , but a couple recruiting sites had him rated as a 3-star recruit.
I'm not sure I've seen a kid rated so high who averaged just 6 ppg his senior year.
The bio on the Old Miss website says this-
"Rated as a three-star prospect by ESPN, 247sports.com, and Rivals … Ranked the No. 147^th player in the nation by Rivals …Averaged six points and five rebounds per game as a senior while shooting 40% from three-point range."

Here is a highlight video from his junior season. He appears to be thin and athletic, but nearly every highlight on his video is a blocked shot or other defensive play. He must be a bit offensively challenged. - https://www.hudl.com/video/3/1390579...c97406806753b4

Yeah he looks athletic and coordinated...says he's like a 3 time state champ....maybe the rest of the team did all the scoring.

My money is on Dubl R.

He averaged only 6 points and 5 rebounds as a high school Senior?....I might be able to do that now lol

Illinois State lands a transfer from the portal- Cameron Barnes, a 6'9" forward from Ole Miss. He is a freshman who redshirted and did not play this past season, thus has 4 years of eligibility left.

Out of high school in Duncanville, Texas, he had offers from Memphis and SMU in addition to Ole Miss.

Maaaaaannnn...I gotta keep my 4th grade son set on his goal to get a D-1 basketball scholly! Definitely would pay dividends! (even if he gets a little NIL, getting a free ride for academics would be UNREAL...and even better to find a way on the BU roster!

A report of a $2 million NIL offer for a 6'11" guy. He played 4 years at Rutgers and has one season of eligibility left. Check his stats. Is he worth $2 million for one year? - https://twitter.com/TiptonEdits/stat...64401809686834

Utah State big man Great Osobor reportedly sets a new record for cashing in on NIL money- he signs with Washington with currently $2 million in NIL deals for the one season he has remaining - https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/sta...02691650830721

The new coach at Washington is Danny Sprinkle, who coached Osobor at Utah State this past season and at Montana State the two seasons prior to this past year. Washington joins the Big Ten next year.

For a small, sub-6ft guard with low shooting percentages (career 31.3% from 3-pt),
he has only 127 TOTAL assists in his entire 5-season career!
(Roughly what every point guard in the MVC gets EACH SEASON! -Duke Deen had 136 this year, & seven players had more - Xavier Johnson had 196)
He’ll do better in the Valley, half the MVC teams don’t even defend little guards all that well, check the Feb 21 BU game against Missouri State.
