Primarily a collection of news links about all 12 Missouri Valley League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
Green is one of the most skilled guards in the country and built to
score. He can get his jumper off in a phone booth. He needs little time
or space and can shoot it off the bounce or catch with accuracy. He
knows how to use a ball screen and change speeds, allowing him to get to
his spots to score. He also can make all the passes and reads out of
ball screens. He’s got an assortment of finishes with either hand and is
tricky with fakes, allowing him to get to the line frequently, where
he’s a career 90 percent foul shooter. The expectation is that he’ll
join his father Kyle Green at Iowa State. The elder Green joined T.J.
Otzelberger’s staff a year ago. He’d slide right into the Izaiah Brockington
role as the primary scorer. He also has the passing and ball handling
skills to play point guard, so he could help eat up some of the minutes
of the gaping hole left by Tyrese Hunter’s departure. Green still has
two years of eligibility remaining because of a hip injury that forced
him to sit after three games during the 2020-21 season. Northern Iowa
went 28-8 in the Missouri Valley in 2020 and 2022 and just 7-11 without
him in 2021. Assuming he doesn’t stay in the NBA Draft — he’s also
testing the waters — he’ll be a huge addition wherever he lands, but
it’d be surprising if he leaves the state.
14. K.J. Williams | 6-10 big | graduate | Murray State
The Ohio Valley Player of the Year this past season, Williams joined wing Tevin Brown and guard Justice Hill
to form the nucleus of a 31-3 Murray State team that went to the Round
of 32. Given the accolades, though, Williams was the centerpiece. He is
an inside-out big who can punish smaller players on the block just as
easily as he can pick-and-pop from distance. He hit just 30.4 percent
from 3 this year, but over his career he’s made 35 percent of his 219
attempts. Because of that inside-out skill, he’s a fit almost anywhere
at the collegiate level. He’s definitely more offense-first than
defense, but he averaged 18 points and eight rebounds and is good enough
on offense and versatile enough to play at the high-major level as a
difference-maker. His coach at Murray State, Matt McMahon, is now the
LSU head coach, so that could be a real fit.
If you’re looking for scoring, scoring, and more scoring, Reeves
might be the perfect player for you. He averaged 20.1 points per game in
the Missouri Valley this year on his way to winning second-team
all-conference honors as well as the league’s Most Improved Player
award. Above all, he’s a pull-up maestro, capable of getting his shot
from wherever on the floor at just about any time. He finished second in
the conference behind Isiaih Mosley
from Missouri State in scoring, hitting pull-up jumpers at a 51.4
effective field goal percentage, a very high number given his volume of
shots. Among the 227 players nationally to take at least 100 pull-up
jumpers, Reeves finished 19th in his efficiency in terms of making them,
per Synergy. And yet, there’s a reason he only made second-team
all-league despite those numbers. The rest of his game is a real work in
progress. He has a long way to go as a passer and playmaker for others,
and his defense leaves something to be desired. There is some question
how scalable his game is to high-major situations where he’s just a
piece of the puzzle. Still, my bet is a good high-major takes a shot on
him and sees if those parts of his game can improve. The scoring is
lethal enough to take such an informed bet.
6. Will Richard | 6-5 wing | sophomore | Transferred from Belmont to Florida
The Scout: Richard was named to the OVC All-Newcomer
team this year after averaging 12 points, six rebounds, two assists and
over a steal per game. He’s a genuine long-term NBA Draft prospect who
somehow slipped through the cracks and fell to Belmont, at 6-5 with
something in the range of a plus-six wingspan that is really evident on
the court. You can feel his length out there. He moves like an NBA
player moves, with terrific footwork and polish as well as strong
slashing and finishing ability. He plays well off the ball and is used
to running high-level actions from playing in Belmont’s offense. He can
shoot off the catch, direct off of dribble-handoffs, or whatever you
need. He also has high-level defensive ability. Basically, as soon as
the shot comes around — and it will, given his touch; he just needs to
work on some slight tweaks such as finishing higher as opposed to
farther out in front of his face — he’s going to be a high-level scorer.
The Fit: A great addition as Todd Golden’s first
recruit. Richard will be a perfect test case to find out what this
Florida staff is capable of early in its time in Gainesville. Richard
has all of the tools to be a potential pro wing down the road. He’s the
kind of player as a two-way wing that is really hard to find in the
portal, and the kind of guy you can build just about any type of team
around. He might not average 16 per game next season, but I wouldn’t be
surprised to see him as a Day 1 starter averaging 13 points, four
rebounds, a couple of assists and a couple of steals while providing a
great impact as a winning player. Then as a third-year player, don’t be
surprised to see him emerge into a first-team All-SEC player whom the
NBA looks at as an interesting 3-and-D wing.
10. Terry Roberts | 6-3 guard | senior | Transferred from Bradley to Georgia
The Scout: Roberts was the Missouri Valley’s
Newcomer of the Year last season, a first-team all-conference player for
Bradley who is lightning in a bottle offensively. He’s electric with
the ball, capable of creating something out of nothing on offense in a
flash. His handle is terrific, and he’s an explosive athlete who can get
where he needs to go out of isolations. He averaged nearly 15 points,
five rebounds and four assists this year, and hit 34 percent from 3 on a
steady diet of tough pull-up shots. He makes some really impressive
live-dribble passing reads, but the critical part of his game that he’s
going to have to clean up will be turning it over. His
assist-to-turnover ratio was very close to the 1-to-1 mark, and he makes
some choices both in terms of shot selection and distribution that will
worry high-major coaches. But above all, this is a high-major athlete
at the guard spot with enough size to not be a liability on defense and
enough handle to genuinely break down opposing teams.
The Fit: Well, Georgia needs just about everything
as it transitions from the Tom Crean era to the Mike White era. As a
first-year building block, Roberts is a terrific lead guard option who
will absolutely perform well in the SEC. That league tends to be among
the most athletic leagues in the country every year, and Roberts’ quick
first step and explosive change of pace ability will fit right in as a
terrific option. We’ll see who White and company surround him with to
get a better feel for how Georgia could compete this year.
14. Noah Carter | 6-6 forward | junior | Transferred from Northern Iowa to Missouri
The Scout: Carter is a high-IQ, big-bodied, 6-7,
undersized forward who makes it work with pure feel for the game. He
averaged 15 points and four rebounds in a slow Northern Iowa system,
doing a little bit of everything. But above all, Carter just never
really stops moving. He’s constantly searching for little creases and
openings in the defense, hunting for ways to leverage his opponent to
use his strength at 230 pounds to seal his man away from the rim. He was
second-team All-Missouri Valley this year and moves people around at
his position pretty easily. The worry with Carter at the high-major
level is his footspeed and ability to defend against the most athletic
guards. On top of that, Carter did only hit 29 percent from 3 this
season, but his touch is excellent around the rim and from the foul line
and he gives reason to believe that he has room for growth there.
The Fit: Carter’s best position is a small-ball four, and that’s the one spot where Missouri is actually in decent shape with Kobe Brown.
But the Tigers really, really, really need skill and scoring, and so
Carter is a great fit there. He immediately becomes Mizzou’s most
skilled player. The one worry in the SEC is whether he can hang
defensively, especially if he’s guarding perimeter players. “It’ll be
interesting to see how he fares defensively,” an SEC coach said. “It
looked like (on film) he wasn’t the most explosive athlete laterally or
vertically. So what his identity on the floor is defensively should be
interesting to see. But he’s definitely a really skilled offensive
player.”
20. Tyreke Key | 6-3 guard | senior | Transferred from Indiana State to Tennessee
The Scout: Key missed this entire season at Indiana
State following shoulder surgery, but he is a multi-time first-team
All-Missouri Valley Conference player who is about as terrific a scorer
as you’ll find at that level. He’s very polished and poised, a
ground-bound player for the most part who gets by with terrific footwork
and strength to bump guys off their spot. Indiana State back under Greg
Lansing would even use him as a pseudo-post-up/mid-post option where he
could use those drop steps and spin moves to score. Plus, prior to the
shoulder injury he could really step away and knock down shots. That
percentage took a bit of a dive in his senior season in 2021, but the
hope is that he can get back to the level he was at previously, where
there were few more efficient high-volume scorers at the high mid-major
level. There are some questions here with him returning from injury,
which is why he falls below guys like Reeves and Carter from the
Missouri Valley. But at his best, he’s very much in their group and
maybe even better.
The Fit: Key goes to a spot where
the coach likes a good post-up, and that’s where he thrives. Rick Barnes
is usually feeding a bigger player like Grant Williams, but he’d be
smart to invert the floor with Key. The question marks here are whether
Key can find his jump shot again — he shot 41 percent from 3 during his
sophomore and junior seasons — and whether he’s athletic enough to hang
in the SEC. His skillset should diversify Tennessee’s offense. The Vols
had speed and shooting on the perimeter last season but didn’t really
have an isolation scorer like him who could work in the mid-range.
PREDICTION: LOYOLA CHICAGO DOMINATES CONFERENCE AGAIN
I’ll mark this one as wrong since the Ramblers finished fourth in the
Missouri Valley — certainly a long way from dominating. That said,
Loyola Chicago cruised through the conference tournament to return to
the NCAA Tournament in Drew Valentine’s first year as head coach. They
were the class of the conference and one of the highest rated mid-majors
all season long.
As
mentioned above with Golden, the primary challenge for all these SEC
hires is whether they can recruit against some of the sport’s best.
McMahon has two further challenges: Walking into a gutted roster
(all but two scholarship players departed) and the potential for
significant NCAA sanctions following the notice of allegations that got former coach Will Wade fired. Those two reasons are why LSU gave McMahon a seven-year contract: This is a rebuilding situation.
McMahon
built some tremendous teams at Murray State. He coached and recruited
Ja Morant and won an NCAA tournament game with him, then rebuilt and put
together a team this season that had the best record of any men’s D-I
team and advanced to the second round of the tourney. But it is worth
noting that, well, everyone has won at Murray State. Three of Murray’s
five worst KenPom finishes in the last 25 years came with McMahon at the
helm. Was he a product of a program that churns out high-major coaches
or a true standout?
Steve Prohm, Murray State:
The best kind of retread, Prohm went a ridiculous 104–29 in four years
as the Racers’ coach and returns after six years at Iowa State and a
year in the media. He had stayed close with the program and is the right
guy to help Murray transition to the Missouri Valley. Grade: A
Hunter more than likely will stay at the high major level, but if not
the Racers could be a dark horse candidate (no pun intended). Murray
State just hired Head Coach Steve Prohm, who was the coach at Iowa State
when Hunter first committed to the Cyclones. With a complete roster
overhaul happening in Murray, KY, Prohm could offer Hunter the keys to
the operation. He received a commitment from him while in Ames, maybe
it’s possible for it to happen a second time.
If Hunter transferred to Murray State, he would be able to fully
showcase his offensive ability and improve his three-point shooting for
the next level. He would have the opportunity to put up gaudy numbers
for the Racers similar to what Ja Morant did in 2018-19. There are pros
and cons of playing at a lower level in terms of draft stock, but it
didn’t stop Morant or Cameron Payne from both becoming top 15 picks out
of Murray State.
Green is one of the most skilled guards in the country and built to
score. He can get his jumper off in a phone booth. He needs little time
or space and can shoot it off the bounce or catch with accuracy. He
knows how to use a ball screen and change speeds, allowing him to get to
his spots to score. He also can make all the passes and reads out of
ball screens. He’s got an assortment of finishes with either hand and is
tricky with fakes, allowing him to get to the line frequently, where
he’s a career 90 percent foul shooter. The expectation is that he’ll
join his father Kyle Green at Iowa State. The elder Green joined T.J.
Otzelberger’s staff a year ago. He’d slide right into the Izaiah Brockington
role as the primary scorer. He also has the passing and ball handling
skills to play point guard, so he could help eat up some of the minutes
of the gaping hole left by Tyrese Hunter’s departure. Green still has
two years of eligibility remaining because of a hip injury that forced
him to sit after three games during the 2020-21 season. Northern Iowa
went 28-8 in the Missouri Valley in 2020 and 2022 and just 7-11 without
him in 2021. Assuming he doesn’t stay in the NBA Draft — he’s also
testing the waters — he’ll be a huge addition wherever he lands, but
it’d be surprising if he leaves the state.
16. K.J. Williams | 6-10 big | graduate | Murray State
The Ohio Valley Player of the Year this past season, Williams joined wing Tevin Brown and guard Justice Hill
to form the nucleus of a 31-3 Murray State team that went to the Round
of 32. Given the accolades, though, Williams was the centerpiece. He is

Williams
upped his production each season during a stellar four-year run at
Murray State. This past season, he averaged 18 points and 8.4 rebounds
for a team that finished 31-3 and earned a No. 7 seed in the NCAA
Tournament. He's not much of a shot blocker for a 6-10 player, but he
makes up for it with a career 3-point shooting percentage of 35.5%.
Offensively, Williams certainly appears to have the chops of a
high-major starting center.
13. K.J. Williams | 6-10 big | graduate | Murray State

Roberts was the Missouri Valley’s Newcomer of the Year this past
season, a first-team all-conference player for Bradley who is lightning
in a bottle offensively. He’s electric with the ball, capable of
creating something out of nothing on offense in a flash. His handle is
terrific, and he’s an explosive athlete who can get where he needs to go

*Listed school is where player is transferring from
7. KJ Williams, Murray State
Williams
is currently focused on going through the draft process, which means
this recruitment could drag on for a while. But should he decide on
another year of college ball, he’ll be among the best players to change
teams this offseason. He’s a well-rounded frontcourt player who led
Murray State to the best record in men’s college hoops this season,
capable of stretching the floor or punishing teams in the post. Expect
LSU and Williams’s former coach Matt McMahon to be in the mix for
Williams’s services should he head back to school, but the line will be
long.
18. Tyreke Key, Indiana State
Key’s
a sixth-year senior who sat out all of 2021–22 with a shoulder injury.
With nearly 100 starts and over 1,600 points to his ledger in the
always-competitive Missouri Valley, he’s an experienced option for teams
in need of scoring help. Key is a terrific finisher around the basket
and shot 40% from three in his sophomore and junior years before
regressing some as a senior. Players with the experience level and
scoring ability Key possesses are hot commodities this time of year,
with Tennessee, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Ole Miss among his current suitors.
19. Antonio Reeves, Illinois State
Reeves
is one of the best pure scorers in the portal. He averaged more than 20
points per game for the Redbirds this season, one of the lone bright
spots in an otherwise-gloomy season in Normal that eventually led to the
firing of coach Dan Muller. He’s a gifted isolation player who can
create his own shot but also improved significantly as an outside
shooter after struggling from deep his first two seasons at ISU. Reeves
took his first visit this past weekend to Nebraska but has a long line
of suitors hoping to add some scoring pop to their team for 2022–23.
23. Terry Roberts, Bradley
Roberts’s list of 10 schools he’s considering
is a laundry list of some of the top programs in the country. The first
team all-MVC selection is an older option at the point guard position
who posted impressive numbers on a top-100 team this past season. He’s a
skilled operator in ballscreens, is a steady shooter from deep and is
known as an excellent perimeter defender. Roberts spent last weekend on
campus at Florida and would be a logical fit for first-year head coach
Todd Golden and the Gators.
14. K.J. Williams | 6-10 big | graduate | Murray State
The Ohio Valley Player of the Year this past season, Williams joined wing Tevin Brown and guard Justice Hill
to form the nucleus of a 31-3 Murray State team that went to the Round

Carter is one of the higher IQ players in the portal, a big-bodied,
6-foot-7, undersized forward who makes it work with pure feel for the
game. He averaged 15 points and four rebounds in a slow Northern Iowa
system, doing a little bit of everything. But above all, Carter just
never really stops moving. He’s constantly searching for little creases
and openings in the defense, hunting for ways to leverage his opponent
to use his strength at 230 pounds to seal his man away from the rim. He
was second-team All-Missouri Valley this year, and moves people around
at his position pretty easily. High-major teams recruiting Carter will
need to worry a bit about his footspeed and ability to defend against
the most athletic guards. On top of that, Carter did only hit 29 percent
from 3 this season, but his touch is excellent around the rim and from
the foul line, and gives reason to believe that he has room for growth
there. But Carter is a potential high-major starter, albeit with a bit
of downside if the footspeed doesn’t totally translate.
If you’re looking for scoring, scoring, and more scoring, Reeves
might be the perfect player for you. He averaged 20.1 points per game in
