Yep, that’s exactly what I think, also. Those schools will absolutely love his scoring ability and pure grit on the court. He’s a “gamer”.

Sounds like he's getting interest from Big 10 schools. I hope it works out well for him.

Kobe said he has already heard from Nebraska, Arkansas, Xavier, Temple Tulane and Wake Forest to name a few,

Kyle Arrington has announced he is entering the transfer portal. Kinda surprising, but the best of luck to him wherever he lands.

The athletic department better move quickly. New coach will have their hands full already. Need to get a head start on recruiting efforts.

Zion Young and Ben Pyle have also entered the transfer portal.
At this rate, there may not be much of a basketball team left to coach.

Ouch. Our 3 best returnees are gone. Might have to go hard for JUCOs in the first 2 years just to be competitive in the conference.
IIRC, that is what MO did. You also might get lucky getting a couple of High Schoolers with decent talent as their chances of playing a
lot their first year are pretty good. Some kids just dont like to sit on the bench.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Losing Pyle really sucks. He is a Larry Bird playalike and with a few pound of muscle, could be a John Konchar force in the league.
Embrace the pace of the race.

It’s important to remember just cause someone puts there name in doesn’t necessarily mean there gone if they decide that they like whoever the new coach is they may decide to stay. Kobe is the only one that I would say is for sure gone.
