Monmouth basketball star Abdi Bashir Jr. transferring to Kansas State
Monmouth's Abdi Bashir Jr., coming off one of the best seasons in program history, announced on social media Monday that he will transfer to Kansas State next season. Bashir, the 6-7 guard who led the nation with 127 three-pointers last season, entered the transfer portal last week, after finishing as the CAA's top scorer at 20.1 points-per-game as a sophomore. Advertisement Bashir's brother, Abdul, who spent the last two seasons starring at Casper Junior College in Wyoming, has committed to play at Auburn next season. It's unclear how much NIL money Bashir will get at Kansas State Monmouth's Abdi Bashir Jr. works against Delaware's Cavan Reilly during Monmouth's 92-83 win on Jan. 30, 2025 in West Long Branch, N.J. After the native of Omaha, Nebraska flashed his potential coming off the bench as a freshman, he reached the next level this past season. He introduced himself to much of the country by hitting a program-record 10 triples in a 38-point outburst against Rutgers, and scored 28 points at Seton Hall in a win over the Pirates. For the season, Bashir shot 38.3% from long range, and hit on 86.8% of his free throws. He scored 30 points or more four times. Advertisement Had Bashir stayed four seasons at Monmouth, he likely would have challenged Justin Robinson's all-time Division 1 scoring mark at Monmouth. But the reality is that in the era of NIL and the transfer portal, mid-major programs simply can't afford to keep the talent they develop anymore. Monmouth head coach King Rice had indicated since the preseason that he expected this to be Bashir's final season at Monmouth given the money that would be on the table for him, estimating it at $800,00 to $900,000 in a press conference after Monmouth was eliminated in the CAA Tournament quarterfinals. He also implored teams to stop contacting Bashir during the season after their win over Seton Hall. Kansas State went 16-17 last season, and was 9-11 in the Big 12. It was reported that Kansas was interested in getting Bashir as well. This article originally appeared on Asbury Park Press: Monmouth basketball star Abdi Bashir Jr. transferring to Kansas State

Monmouth football has championship dreams in 2025 with top-ranked FCS offense
WEST LONG BRANCH – What if I told you the country's top FCS offense last year, led by the nation's most prolific passer throwing to a talented young receiving corps that combined for video game-like numbers, had no one enter the transfer portal. You'd laugh, right, because it couldn't possibly be true. Except it is. Advertisement Oh, and that team closed last season with back-to-back wins over nationally ranked teams, and had a chance to beat two other top-20 foes in the final minute. Intrigued? Monmouth quarterback Derek Robertson celebrates during their game at FIU in Miami on Sept. 21, 2024. The heart-stopping thrill ride Monmouth took everyone on last season only amounted to a 6-6 record. But if a flood of defensive reinforcements from the portal can stabilize the defensive side of the ball, the Hawks have the look of a championship contender in the CAA. 'Especially in today's day-and-age of college football, it doesn't happen very often. It speaks volumes about this place and the guys in that locker room,' said grad student Derek Robertson, who led all FCS quarterbacks with 3,937 passing yards, along with 31 TDs and just six interceptions. Advertisement 'Ultimately, the decisions came down to everyone wanting a chance to win a championship, and that is what our goal is.' That familiarity within the group – the Hawks rolled up 690 yards in a 55-47 win over No. 16 Stony Brook in the season finale - could be a huge advantage, with receivers TJ Speight, Josh Derry, Tra Neal, Gavin Nelson and Maxwell Janes combining for 3,259 receiving yards and 25 TDs, while running back Rodney Nelson flashed his big-play potential as a freshman. 'I think there's a high level of anticipation for what this group can accomplish,' head coach Kevin Callahan said. 'How much can the defense develop. We had a lot of shootouts last year and some we won, some we didn't. If we can maintain what we did on offense, and then ratchet up the defense, you've got to feel pretty good about it.' Big question mark That was the backdrop as the Hawks opened spring practice this week at Kessler Stadium, seeking to take full advantage of an offense that's been among the nation's most productive since 2019. Advertisement In the second season under defensive coordinator Lewis Walker, any resurgence will have to start with a core of young returnees. after losing six of their top 10 tackles off a unit that finished 14th in yards allowed in the 16-team CAA. Walker also remade the defensive staff during the offseason, adding Codey Cole as the defensive line coach and Louis DiRienzo Jr. as linebackers coach, while former Hawk Kamau Dumas will be in charge of the defensive backs. The defensive backfield should be a strength, led by senior captain Justin Bennin, who made 55 tackles and picked off two passes. Deuce Lee, a junior safety, is the top returner with 70 tackles, leading a defensive backfield that includes cornerback Israel Clark-White, who had 37 tackles last season as a redshirt freshman. The offseason focus has revolved around rebuilding the linebacking corps, with the departure of leading tackler Ryan Moran, who played five seasons, and Sam Korpoi and Damir McCrary, both in the transfer portal. The four newcomers join returnee Charlie Sasso, who won't practice this spring to rest a problematic knee. Defensive tackle Isaiah Rogers (6-2, 300), a third team All-CAA selection, and senior end Miles Mitchell (6-4, 250), who had 30 tackles and 2.5 sacks, return up front, but this looks like an area the Hawks still need to address. Advertisement Here's a look at the transfer portal pickups, with Callahan indicating more could be coming: Inumidun Ayo-Durojaiye (6-0, 205), a linebacker from Yale, ranked second on the team with 58 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 10 games, and had nine tackles, an interception and a forced fumble against Princeton. Brady Hock (6-1, 220), a linebacker from Colgate, made 60 tackles, including five for loss. Zack Ricci, a defensive back from Wagner, led the NEC in interceptions with four, and has two years of eligibility remaining. Ryan Russo (6-2, 230) is a linebacker with two years of eligibility remaining after a season at Rutgers and two at an Iowa JUCO. Geovanny Fabian (6-1, 175), a defensive back from Delaware State, made 29 tackles last season. Spencer Kishbaugh (6-3, 200) played 15 games over two seasons as a linebacker for Coastal Carolina. Monmouth has two players moving up from Division 2, including defensive back Elliot Porter, who had 82 tackles in 20 games at Pace, and defensive lineman Josiah Graham from Emory & Henry.
