They simply recruited over him. Signed Matthew Lee, starting PG from St Peters Peacocks, Alston Mason transfering in from Oklahoma, as well as Damien Mayo out of Chaminade/Link.

In the era of the portal Dana Ford has taken the approach of stockpiling as much talent as possible. In mid major basketball it no longer makes sense to build for the future. Win now because regardless of who you have there is no guarantee that kids will stay.

The portal has opened the door to all sorts of transfering since you are no longer required to sit out a season. I imagine you will see him transfer down, not up. Might join several former teammates at Northwestern State where former Bears assistant Corey Gipson is now the HC.

Which former teammates would he be joining there?

First, should not be surprised he is leaving. Doing what he done in high school. He will be joining his teammate Jamonte Black and Demarcus Sharpe at NWL. The assistant there is bringing in some of his past AAU players from MPJ it looks like.
 
The assistant also reached out to Eric Northweather about coming there.
He is using his Mid Missouri knowledge and contacts to recruit. Coupled with the Missouri State connection, they are drawing from the state.

We will see how it works. AAU team had a lot of turn over. With the Portal, I am guessing will be the same. That is all college basketball these days.
 
Saw where some of the kids leaving MO State did not tell their head coach. Coach Ford found out on twitter. Hope that is not true and the head assistant did not have a hand in it when he took the NW Louisiana job.
