24/25 Rosters

[BEARZ77]

Thought given the amount of roster churn in the Valley , it might be helpful as a quick reference page for each program to list their rosters as they become filled.Will allow for adds and defections as time passes this summer, but will be a 1 stop shop to check them out. The Bears have a complete roster at this point, but of course that could change over the summer.

2024/25 Missouri St. Bears MBB

CJ Gaines, 5'9, Fr, w/o , Georgia HS
Dez White, 6'2 ,So, Transfer Austin Peay
Makhai Valentine, 6'2, Fr, Link Prep, Branson
Nick Kramer, 6'3 , So, Transfer in 23 SLU
Zaxton King, 6'3, Fr, Lawrence, Kansas HS
Tommy Pinegar, 6'2, So, Springfield Mo
Vincent Brady II,6'4, Jr, Transfer IUPUI
Mozae Downing-Rivers, 6'6, Jr, Barton CC
Jurrell Baldwin, 6'7, Fr, Hyde Park, Chicago
Jalen Hampton, 6'7, Jr, South Plains Juco
Michael Osei-Bonsu, 6'5, Jr. Vincennes CC
Sam Murray II, 6'9, Jr, Transfer Murray St
Wesley Oba, 6'8,Sr, Transfer Delaware St
Allen Udematu, 6'10, Sr, Transfer Morgan St
Iago Stanback, 6'3,Fr, Naples Fla.
Chase Martin, 6'2, Grad trnsfr, Purdue[Zo's son]

Probably most notable is that Downing-Rivers is a 6'6 pg who led Barton the the Juco Natty last year. Early projections on a starting lineup might be:

PG Downing-Rivers 6'6,
G White, 6'2
G Brady II 6'4
F Hampton, 6'7
C Udematu 6'10

Would expect Kramer, Oba, Baldwin in rotation, but lots to be determined.

Drake only has 10 on the roster now plus a walk-on

Nate Ferguson, 6.8", 6th yr senior
Bennett Stirtz, 6'4" Jr, transfer from NW Missouri State
Isaiah Jackson, 6'2" Sr, transfer from NW Missouri State
Daniel Abreu, 6'6" Sr, transfer from NW Missouri State

Joey Matteone, 6'8" Fr from Overland Park, KS
Isaia Howard, 6'5" Fr from Plattsburg, MO

Right now, looks like about an 11th place roster. Can change a lot depending on how he fills those last 3 scholarships

Looks like you forgot Lucas Scroggins who red shirted at Valpo last season and is viewed as a super high potential project center.

I'd like to thank ReZyNeZy for making this list because I might have done it if he hadn't.

[BEARZ77]

Heights would be nice

[ReZyNeZy]

Good call Ducky, I was going off of The TVB spreadsheet and must've missed him. As for heights, Valpo is notorious for not updating their websites , and I do not currently have the time to add em. Ill dig around for em later tonight.

6 Returning Scholarship Players:
Tanner Cuff 6'7" Jr.
Cam Haffner 6'2" Jr.
Braylon Jackson 6'5" So.
Michael Day 6'11" So.
Josh Hughes 6'10" So.
Gui Tesch 6'9" RS Fr.

Tranfers Players:
Connor Turnbull 6'10" Jr. (Butler)
Ramondo Battle 6'8" Jr. (Juco)
Tayshawn Comer 6'1" Jr. (Eastern Ky)
Trent Hundley 6'6" Jr. (NAIA)

High School:
Kaia Berridge 6'4" Archbishop Riordan San Francisco from New Zealand
Gabriel Pozzatto 6'7" NBA Academy-Australia from Italy

UE lost all five starters and 71% of its scoring. With that said hopes are high. Coach Ragland will be in his 3rd season and all 12 scholarship players are his recruits. One scholarship is still open. The team also has 4 walk ons returning.

Tranfers Turnbull, Battle, and Comer are expected to step into starting roles along with Hughes and Haffner. The team has length and is looking to upgrade 3 point scoring and rebounding with the new players.

Bradley scholarship returnees:

Duke Deen, Sr G
Darius Hannah, Sr F
Christian Davis, Sr F
Demarion Burch, So G
Almar Atlason, So G
Ahmet Jonovic, Jr C
Connor Linke, Sr F
Goanar Biliew, Sr F

Additions:

Zek Montgomery, Sr F, Rhode Island (Returning transfer)
Jaquan Johnson, Fr G, Milwaukee HS
Corey Thomas, Jr C, Cowley JUCO
Timoty Van der Knapp, Fr F, Italy
Connor Dillon, Sr G, Winona State

Duke, Darius, and Zek are the big 3. CD and Burch are proven contributors who could start. The hope is Corey Thomas is ready to contribute under the basket out of the gate.

SIU's roster (so far, still two scholarships open):

Returnees

Kennard Davis, 6-6 So.
Jarrett Hensley, 6-8 Sr.
Sheridan Sharp, 6-3 So.

Newcomers

Ali Dibba, 6-4 Sr. (Abilene Christian)
Drew Steffe, 6-5 RS Fr. (Texas Tech)
Damien Mayo, 6-3 Jr. (Missouri State)
Davion Sykes, 6-6 Jr. (Texas State)
Jaheem Webber, 6-10 Fr. (Normal HS)
Rolyns Aligbe, 6-9 Fr. (Winchendon Prep)
Tyler Bey, 6-9 So. (Missouri State)
Jorge Moreno, 6-10 Jr. (Lee CC)

Adding a point guard who could challenge Sharp for the starting spot would seem to be a high priority in the (very) late stages of the spring cycle. I don't think that's really Mayo's game (correct me if I'm wrong, MoState fans), and you wouldn't think they'd go into the season with only one true PG onboard. They could probably also still use another 3-point sniper to complement Steffe, but they are stocked with athleticism and depth at the wing spots.
