MBB Update, Including verbal

So, bunch of things happening....

First, Coach Simon announced his first staff changes.  He announced Tum Tum Nairn and Bryce Martin as assistant coaches and German Srulovich as DBO.  All three are from his staff at Southern Utah and I understand there is one more who hasn't been announced yet, for whatever reason.  He kept Parker Settles and Nick Korda from the previous staff.

His Associate Head Coach at USU was Flynn Clayman.  He did not come, heading to High Point where he will be an Associate Head Coach.

This is a staff that was successful before and are comfortable working together.  I think it's the best news we could get.

From the portal:

• Brenton Mills transferred to Vermont
• Rashaun Agee will return to BG

This leaves only Chandler Turner in the portal without a home, to my knowledge, among scholarship players.

BG also got its first Simon-era commit.

PJ Edwards is a 6'4" Guard transferring from Central Florida.  He was there 2 years, one with a redshirt and then he played sparingly in his second year. He's originally from Springfield, Illinois.  People are treating this like he will be an impact player for us, which is what we need and what has kept us from succeeding over the past couple years.
