Indiana Hoosiers

The Hoosiers have lost its two starting frontcourt players, including star big man, Trayce Jackson-Davis. They already have landed one forward from the portal in Payton Sparks, a 6’8 center transfer from Ball State that can either start or come off the bench.

Nkamhoua is capable of playing both frontcourt positions at the Big Ten level and certainly would start ahead of Sparks and maybe even former five-star recruit, Malik Reneau. His style would be a nice fit for both the team and conference and he’d have a sizeable role, although not at the level as Jackson-Davis.

Miami Hurricanes

It’s been a fantastic season for Miami, making it to the Final Four. Most of the credit goes to the backcourt duo of Nijel Pack and Isaiah Wong, along with marquee transfer pickup, Norchad Omier. However, a case can be made that the MVP of the team is Jordan Miller, a 6’5 senior athletic forward that has been the perfect four-man next to Omier.

With Miller leaving, look for the Hurricanes to go into the portal for a veteran player. Anthony Walker and AJ Casey have talent but likely won’t be the starters next season. Nkamhoua would be a good pickup for the team and help them improve on the defensive end as well. And if he’s eligible, could get a nice payday.
