Portal Hits MBB

Thank you BG for helping me growing for the last 2 seasons! I am extremely blessed to be apart what is in the process of being built in the MAC conference. After talks with my family I have entered the transfer portal! pic.twitter.com/hYTvL3LfmP

So, some disappointing news from the portal today.  Cam Young and Caleb Fields are reported to be entering the portal.  Young confirmed it on his twitter, but nothing was on the Fields twitter.  (Update: it’s now on his twitter as well). Wish both of these young men the best.  

Fields played 87 games for BG, making 78 starts.  He was a really strong defender and solid role player for the team's run to the MAC Finals.  Young played 2 years and had some potential but had yet to fully fully develop as a player.

From a roster standpoint--even if no one else leaves--we are looking at severe number issues for next year, especially on the inside.  Of course, there's the portal, but bringing in five portal guys this year seemed to cause problems, and the problem with the portal is that we are right back on the treadmill again.
