Seneca Knight, an occasional starter for BYU last year who previously played 3 years at San Jose St. is transferring. Who's left in Provo?

As a walk-on, I am told.

Verbal commits says today that Baxter is a non-scholarship player. Utah also picked up a center from UCF and a power forward from Wisconsin.

Pretty darn good player for EWU these past three seasons...
Aiken, Jr. is VERY good! First team All-Big Sky and Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year.

Of the seven EWU players who entered the transfer portal, Kim Aiken, Jr. and Tanner Groves, First Team All-Big Sky and the Big Sky Player of the Year, are the most likely to end up at a high-major next season.

That was from over a year ago, and as you may recall, Aiken decided to attend Arizona, but after playing in only 7 games there this past season he stepped away from the team for unknown reasons, and now he is back in the portal...still as a grad-student.

Portland had no intention of persuading him to come to The Bluff, but I am hearing he will apparently commit to BYU if they can find a way to get him admitted to grad school.

When he left EWU Aiken committed to WSU, but when it was determined his EWU education did not meet the WSU standards, he was admitted to Arizona.

Aiken is without a doubt an All-WCC caliber player, and I think BYU will somehow get him in the classroom.

Now, if we could just get Aiken and BYU to play in the Chiles Center without their (fill in the blank) fans...
