The transfer portal is officially open, and activity is at a non-stop pace. For Liberty, the Flames must replace 8 departing seniors as well as starter Brett Decker who has gone portalling. This equates to having to replace all five starters and the top six rotation players from this past season’s team. It will certainly be an active off-season and we will track it throughout the process.

McKAY QUOTE ON PORTAL ADDITIONS

Sean Register, Jr.

“He’s one of those guys that after you watch the game, you think that guy had a pretty good night. You look at the stat sheet, and he stuffed it with 26 points, 14 rebounds and a handful of assists. He plays hard and wants what’s best for the team. I think he’s going to have an immediate impact on our program.”

Dillon Claussen

“I can’t tell you enough how excited we are to have Dillon join our family. He comes from a fabulous collegiate program that’s experienced a lot of success. He will make an immediate impact on our team. Like a lot of our guys, he comes from a great family and has a really complete offensive game and a defense commitment.”

Cobi Campbell

“Cobi has a great basketball acumen and IQ. I also think we’ll benefit from his experience. I think he’s a quiet leader who understands the game and the team and its connectivity.”

Cooper Campbell

“Cooper is at the top of the board of someone we’d want in our program because of the way he plays. Offensively, he can score at all levels, creates for his teammates and is a tough defender. Having coached his dad, I’m super excited he’s a part of our program.”

Osmar Garcia-Araujo

“Osmar is one of those dudes that you just love being around. He’s got a joyful spirit and a super magnetic personality. He’s a really good basketball player who wants to win the game, and that shows up in his sacrificial nature.”
