<p>The Horned Frog wing player will depart after three seasons with the program.</p> <p id="LsCzAn"><a href="https://www.frogsowar.com">TCU</a> men’s basketball lost another forward to the transfer portal on Wednesday, with multiple reports indicating that JaKobe Coles will depart after three seasons as a Horned Frog. Coles began his career at Butler, where he played one season before transferring to TCU. The 6-foot-8, 215-pound junior from Denton, Texas appeared in 100 games over his three years in Fort Worth, starting 12 of them. Coles averaged a career-high 10.0 points per game during the 2023-24 campaign, helping the Horned Frogs to the NCAA Tournament.</p>

Coles is the second TCU player to reportedly enter the transfer portal this week, as senior guard/forward Micah Peavy will also depart after three seasons in Fort Worth. With Coles reportedly entering the portal, Ernest Udeh Jr. and Essam Mostafa are the only two Horned Frogs who earned regular minutes during the 2023-24 season who are eligible to come back next winter.</p>

<p id="KDBTyx">Utah State’s Ian Martinez led the Aggies with 21 points, four rebounds and four assists. Isaac Johnson came in clutch for the Aggies, with 12 of his 19 points coming in the second half, ensuring they would advance to a Sunday night matchup. Johnson finished the night with 19 points, three rebounds, and one assist.</p>
<p id="HjaKEC">It seemed like TCU had all the momentum to start the first half, but the Aggies chipped away at an eight-point deficit when Great Osobor made a layup to tie both teams 26-26 at the 6:35 mark. Two lead changes occurred before the Aggies took over, embarking on a run and heading into the locker room with a 43-37 lead.</p>

<p id="1B5AlB">TCU attempted to stay in the game and remain within reach of Utah State, but too many missed shots and fouls down the stretch hurt their chances. The Aggies pulled away for good with a little over 12 minutes left in the second half, leading 59-53. Martinez’s crucial 3-pointer extended the Aggies’ lead to 62-53.</p>
<p id="9iEKtD">TCU finished the night making 24 of 67 shots from the field, shooting 31.8 percent from beyond the arc, and only missing five of twenty-two free throws. TCU struggled against the Aggies’ pressure, with only two players finishing the night in double figures. JaKobe Coles led the Frogs with 19 points and four rebounds, while Emanuel Miller added 13 points and performed admirably on the glass with 11 rebounds. </p>

<p id="GBnElD">The Bulldogs had the advantage inside, outscoring TCU 34-16 in the painted area and blocking four shots. Mississippi State also forced 18 turnovers by the Horned Frogs, who were outscored 19-12 in points off turnovers and 12-0 on the fast break in the loss. Despite the defeat, TCU will have nearly its entire roster eligible to return next season. That includes Conner as well as junior guard Una Jovanovic, who scored six points with two rebounds on Sunday. Senior forward Agnes Emma-Nnopu, who had nine points, four rebounds and three assists against the Bulldogs, could also return with COVID eligibility. Lastly, Prince could return for next season if she receives a medical hardship waiver from the 2022-23 year.</p>
