Fordham Rams

The Rams have emerged as a true contender in the Atlantic 10 under the past couple of years and seem primed to be a threat under head coach Keith Urgo. But they’re set to lose quite of few pieces, including forward Khalid Moore and veteran center, Rostyslav Novitskyi. They’ll bring back the conference blocks leader Abdou Tsimbila but he plays around 20 mpg.

Fordham can offer Cohen 20-25 mpg at a higher level but not too high where he might get exposed. Cohen would give them needed offense and remain in the local area as well. The Rams have suddenly become a legit team for players to consider in the portal and after the recent success, could take a big swing at Cohen.

Penn State Nittany Lions

The Lions are a team that relied so much on Jalen Pickett that they’ll likely need multiple offensive weapons from the portal this offseason to make up for his departure. They’re also set to lose multiple frontcourt pieces such as Mikey Henn and Seth Lundy.

Freshman Kebba Njie is the lone returning player but he didn’t excel as a freshman so expect Penn State to try to get someone like Cohen. It wouldn’t be a far destination from his current spot and the Nittany Lions’ three-point offense that has a lot of spacing would benefit the former NEC Player of the Year.
