A lot of really good point guards in the portal. Can JD snag one?
Transfer Portal
WIU picked up someone from the portal, not a PG though. Mallory Shetley from Columbia College, she is a 6' forward. She played 5yrs at Columbia, so she must have a COVID year. she avg double digits all 5 years.This past season she avg 17.2pts . She has scored over 2000pts in her 5 season at Columbia.
Here's the "official" article about Mallory Shetley: https://goleathernecks.com/news/2025/5/ ... nsfer.aspxmeganeck wrote: Fri Apr 18, 2025 11:14 am WIU picked up someone from the portal, not a PG though.

The article also says "The Leathernecks add a talented Forward who will play alongside the duo of Mia Nicastro and Raegan McCowan, both of which were named to the All-OVC First Team last season."
That's the first "official" word I've seen saying that both Mia and Raegan are coming back next year. I figured they probably were since I hadn't heard anything about them entering the portal, and I think the deadline to enter has passed (this says it was 3/25 through 4/23: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_cen ... indows.pdf)

The highlight videos for Mallory are pretty impressive. She can handle the ball and attack the paint. Midrange jumper is pretty solid too. Honestly, her offensive game is very similar to McCowan IMHO.ST_Lawson wrote: Mon May 12, 2025 12:10 pmHere's the "official" article about Mallory Shetley: https://goleathernecks.com/news/2025/5/ ... nsfer.aspxmeganeck wrote: Fri Apr 18, 2025 11:14 am WIU picked up someone from the portal, not a PG though.
