Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole Ball State basketball transfer portal thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I started off with a simple question: How is Ball State reshaping their team for next season?
First, I poked around to see what players Ball State had picked up from the transfer portal. Seems like they snagged four new guys. The name that popped up first was Jeremiah Hernandez. They got him from Southern Indiana. Sounds like a solid addition to their backcourt.
Then I got to thinking, “There’s gotta be more to this.” So I kept digging, I wanted to figure out who else they added. Coach Michael Lewis and his crew were busy, that’s for sure. I found out they brought in five new faces total, including three transfers: Jalin Anderson, Ethan Brittain-Watts, and Davion Bailey.
I spent a good chunk of time trying to piece together the whole roster puzzle. It’s like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle without the picture on the box, you know? You’ve got all these names floating around, and you’re trying to figure out who’s who and where they fit.
I did learn that athletes can’t just jump ship mid-year and start playing for a new school in the same season, makes sense I guess. Also, they’ve apparently changed some rules about grad transfers, but I didn’t dive too deep into that rabbit hole.
After all this searching, I finally managed to see something that looked like a complete roster for the 2024-25 season. It was like finding the last piece of the puzzle. Satisfying, to say the least. It was listed as the “official” roster, so that’s a good sign.
Here’s the gist of what I found:
- Ball State’s basketball team is definitely going through some changes.
- They’ve added at least four, maybe five, new players through the transfer portal.
- Jeremiah Hernandez, Jalin Anderson, Ethan Brittain-Watts, and Davion Bailey are some of the new names to watch.
- The team is aiming for a conference championship, so they’re clearly trying to build something strong.
I did this search because I am a big fan of basketball. I want to see if they have enough strengh to get the conference championship. It was a bit of a messy process, with lots of scattered information. But hey, that’s what you get when you’re dealing with the transfer portal. It’s always a bit of a wild ride. Anyway, I hope this helps someone else who might be curious about Ball State’s basketball roster for next year!
I will keep paying attention to this and see if they will get the championship.
