**** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

[LLCoolCY]

With the regular season ending time the transfer announcements are starting thought it was time to start the tread.

Early indications are a lot of the roster that can return will which should be a top 25 team. Still losing Tamin and Joshua means there are roster spots to fill and should be attractive to a couple of players that fit Cyclones MBB.

One thread to post and discuss potential additions to next years roster.

Any Belmont players (starters) that enter the portal, I'm assuming are going to KState.

We need Milan, Bateman, Toure, Dom and Williams back to start with. That's a solid group and if TJ sees a couple freshmen stepping into backup roles he can be very picky in the portal. And yes I think Milan will come back. He can make more in NIL than a late second round pick.

Blake Buchanan will be back, right? He fits TJs system pretty darn well. Bigs are expensive, but would he command that much on the open market?

Dom is a senior and is out of eligibility. Are you referring to Pleta?

Dom could play the juco card and fight for eligibility

Pretty sure the staff took DN with the idea it just be 1 year. Plus Dom hasn't earned a role this year not sure why would see that changing. Dom has some skills but just didn't translate to TJ's defensive system as we hoped. Best to look for other options for him and ISU IMO.

I wonder if DN sees more minutes in the tourney. I know thats typically not TJ's MO, but hes been "fairly decent" against non B12 teams this year

Would love to see Nelson get 10 minutes in our first game to lessen Tamin’s hamstring issues. Realize it’s not likely.

Do we think Milan will be back? I kind of expect him to go pro at this point.

Why concede Lipsey?

Make the NCAA deny him a 5th (and beyond) year in court!

Yeah... hopefully these guys return...

Guards- Toure, Batemon, Williams
Forwards- Momcilivic
Center- Buchanan, Pleta

That's not a horrible base to start from and build around. I think Milan will come back too... he probably would get drafted in the 2nd round somewhere, but likely won't hardly play because he's way too much of a defensive liability. He should stay and get what he can from NIL IMO.

Take this with a grain of salt but the rumor i heard is he isn't leaving unless he is a first rounder. No doubt he will test the waters but everything I've seen he is an early second round pick atm. I think things change if he has a massive March and help leads this team to an E8+.

Any 6-9 unicorns out there that can pass, rebound, drive, score?

I don't think he's going anywhere. This year's draft class is loaded and he still needs to work on some things to make himself more desirable for NBA teams. If he's not an NBA guy, he'll make more $$ than he would playing anywhere else professionally.

Yeah, the Power kid that plays for Fran at Penn....but I'm guessing if he'd leave he'd be to expensive for us. Think he started out at Duke.
