The amount of transfers out (and into) the Mercer program is massive. There's no season like this on record I believe. Greg Gary is getting one more chance and he's giving it his best shot. Verbal Commits shows one more transfer that I believe puts the team at the full 13 scholarships.
I count 5 returning players, including the best player on last years team in Jalyn McCreary. Keeping McCreary gave the Bears something huge to build around.
Add 3 incoming freshmen, and that leaves 5 more scholarships.
Now we have 5 transfers that have come in:
G 6'4" Robby Carmody (Notre Dame) G 5'10" Caleb Hunter (Miss Valley St) F 6'8" Alex Holt (High Point) C 7'2" Sidy Diallo (Kansas City) F 6'9" Amanze Ngumezi (Jax State)
I have to say I'm impressed with the roster on paper. I would wager that Mercer has never had this much size, and they've definitely never had this much transfer activity. It will be a season unlike any other.

I know every team deals with the portal,, but Gary especially seems to have hard time holding on to players (remember one even quit in the middle of the season). Most of what he gets now out of the portal are rad student one offs and we're not building anything long term. It seems to be a band-aid on a big wound. I think its time to move on and look for a new coach.
