Does anyone know how we can keep up with recruiting for basketball or if we have gotten any new commits/transfers?

Does anyone know how we can keep up with recruiting for basketball or if we have gotten any new commits/transfers? This is a very useful site.
It shows we have 3 commits so far: 1 high school, 1 Freshman and 1 Junior coming next year.

I believe Jay Pal is at San Diego State. They play UAB first round.

So basically whenever we get a good player they always go somewhere else? Except for KyKy

Most of the players who've moved on were non-factors here.
The players who were starting and contributing have often stayed til their eligibility was up. (See Juwan Perdue.)
The biggest issue with JSU under Coach Harper (both before and after NIL came along to muck up the works even further) is that we can't seem to bring in a true freshman talent, develop him, and keep him while we bring in more and more freshman talent to develop around him. The support always has to come from transfers. (KyKy was a transfer, btw. We only had him this season.)
In other words, it seems as though we're always a player or two from really getting things rolling. If Coach ever got his hands on an actual stacked roster, we'd probably make the Final Four. Instead, we seem to have 2-3 solid upperclassmen, and a roster full of raw inexperience. And because those raw, inexperienced guys move on each year, we never end up with a roster full of monster, experienced upperclassmen.
I don't know if there's any hope to change this. Before NIL, guys would often leave to escape the hard work Harper puts them through. (I've heard his workouts are a killer.) Now, you have the added specter of financial inducements to play elsewhere, and unless something has changed, we have precisely squat to counter this with.
On the plus side, the players who stay are players who want to be here. I love that part.

On the plus side, the players who stay are players who want to be here. I love that part. I agree with your assessment, but unfortunately, I don't see anything changing until there's a clean break between 'Us' (G5) and 'Them' (Power schools). Even then, unless there's some sanity injected into the mix, we won't be able to compete with many other 'Us' schools, example Liberty. As long as money is the driving influence on where most players decide to take their game, many of our athletic programs are going to be facing season after season of mediocrity. The good news is that the current system isn't sustainable. |

On the plus side, the players who stay are players who want to be here. I love that part. Marcellus signed out of high school, as did Zelizak. We've had several players to sign after one year of JUCO to sign, stay 3 years & become big big money players overseas. BTW --- I believe KyKy has another year. He wasn't introduced senior night. Not all players end up leaving. |

KyKy was listed as a graduate in the program this year. No idea about his eligibility status.
He was at Xavier 2019-23. The first year doesn’t count because of COVID. He only played five games in 2021-22, so maybe that was a redshirt if he got hurt.

He had a good game in their loss to Colorado. 10 points and 8 rebounds. |
