Coaches are following a lot of the top D2 transfers. I guess they’re hoping to mimic what UNT found in Kai Huntsberry.
I made this comment because Dylan Johnson started following all the top D2 transfers, among many other portal guys. To follow up, something I found interesting - TXST MBB main basketball IG account, only follows 133 accounts. Their most recent follows are D2 prospects
Jaylen Wells (6’6” SF, avg 23 PPG as a sophomore at Sonoma State) &
Rich Byhre (6’8” PF, avg 18/8 as a junior at Rockhurst). They both follow TXST back on IG as well.
One D2 kid Johnson follows on Twitter & vice versa is
Akuel Kot. Arguably the best D2 player in the country. He’ll attract bigger programs after scoring 25 PPG and winning a ton of awards, but he’s a Texas kid. Wells or Kot would be great gets despite the lower level. FWIW, Kai Huntsberry averaged 19/4/4 in D2 before going to UNT. His defense is superb for a guard though.
