Will aim to keep this updated. With the 22/23 season officially wrapping up, wanted to start a thread to track everything that happens between 22/23 and 23/24 seasons. This was a solid first year under Robinson (with some disappointments along the way) and I’m looking forward to him continuing to build the program. Here’s what we know today. Outgoing: Graduates: Yahel Hill (G), Deante Johnson (C), and Deshon Parker (G). Transfers: Jason Drake (G) Incoming: Commits: Daniel Young (G), Jalin Rice (G) Open Spots: 2 Verbal Commits does a pretty good job tracking roster movement: www.verbalcommits.com/schools/cleveland-state |

Probably important to note that Enaruna did not celebrate Senior Night, perhaps a good sign he plans to come back vs. graduating and turning pro.

Need a big man badly in the middle to rebound and protect the rim with Spider Johnson leaving.

Amazingly, thus far, the Vikes have lost just one player (maybe??) to the portal. Great start to keeping some continuity. I’d just like some confirmation Enaruna isn’t going pro either.

I didn't get to any games this year from mid season late in season but that's when I would watch warm ups and the bench during games looking at players body language & players faking enthusiasm etc. To get clues who's unhappy and ready to leave

Jamir Price is out. That opens a 3rd spot. So far we have lost a couple but it’s been non contributors. The one guy I think could be biggest loss out of the graduates is Spider. If you find a way to replace his impact you could have a better team next year then we did this year.

Robinson is on scholarship payne is a walk-on. I wouldn't be surprised if Middleton & possibly Arnette transfer also.

They just have plans for him if they determined to use a redshirt on him vs. the other guys like Price and Drake they wasted a year on. Are scholarships now at 12 or 13? Anyone know… didn’t Covid change it initially? |

I would love to get Pitt transfer John Hugley who went to Brush high school. Would replace what we lose from Spider and is a true center and force in the middle.

Hugley would be great I see he's visiting Georgia tech today. Don't want to be insensitive but I believe he's had some mental health issues. Something that has to be considered.

Please no more gaurds. Can't find court time for all the existing ones. There has to be someone in the portal who can start as a mid major.

Again no surprise Middletons playing time diminished as season went on. We have 5 guards on roster but if they felt great about them all why would they be recruiting more guards.

I’d be absolutely shocked if Robinson doesn’t want to start 3 guards, a wing, and a big. Having 5 guards when you’re starting 3 ain’t enough. Plus one is a freshman and another a JUCO transfer (could end up being like Drake and Price this year). I think Robinson wants another big and some proven D1 talent at the guard spot till the young guys like Pryor, Young, and Rice can come along a bit more. |

They have Lowder and Pryor is looking good. They are brining in 2 more. If they can't shoot, I guess the coach disagrees with you. I'm not sure how the rest are gaurds contributing. In this age of free agency, not sure why they are still here (it goes both ways). If you going to take a flyer, then why not wing or big. |

So far no big deal lost, wouldn’t surprise me if Arnett leaves also, all the players lost so far, none contributed this past year……I would go even further and say of the graduation players only Spider would be miss the most, I was not impress with Jack this past year, Hill had moments but his production could easily be replaces…….

I think it’s more, you have two proven wings (Woodrich and Williams) and a proven big. I’m guessing Robinson wants to add some proven guards and another big. Let proven guards play while the kids grow up a bit more. |

I’d also argue that we don’t really have a PG. Lowder not a true PG, he can play it in spurts but not full time IMO. Pryor definitely can’t. Young is a PG but is a freshman, seems like Rice is more of a combo guard as well.

Let proven guards play while the kids grow up a bit more. I always considered Williams a guard. Also, Enaruna should be paired with another big on the floor. Don't want to see him is the same situation as Grady. Williams and Enaruna really needs to develop an outside shot this summer. Both greatly contibuted to clogging up the paint on offense. This also forces the need for at least two other players on the floor as 3 point threats. Given that there are 4 open spots, I'm ok with a scoring PG that is eligible to play next year. |
