Creighton adds another solid portal addition with multiple years of eligibility remaining.
The former #96 recruit of 2021 class, Johnathan Lawton was solid in his redshirt freshman season last year for Memphis.
The 6'6 190 wing played the 2 and 3 for Memphis, averaging 15.7 mpg, 41.3 3p% and 1.2a.
Creighton lacks guards, but they have a lot of talented wings, forwards and bigs.
Kalkbrenner, Scheierman, Miller and King return while they also added former #64 prospect from Virginia Isaac Traudt (6'10 230 with range).

Just picked up a big too.
I think we handed out Kaluma’s scholarship, but that’s no big deal in the NIL environment.

I really liked Ali Ali when he played at Akron (was a 40+ 3P% shooter) but I guess the size/defense of the Big East bottled up his perimeter game.

The guy leaves, then goes back. It feels like basketball is only a couple of years away from players changing teams midweek.
Lawson leaving Memphis (the family's previously designated college of choice)?
Is he the canary in the coal mine for Hardaway's career there or did he not live up to the family's level of ability and Hardaway suggested he'd not get much time on the floor?
This happens a lot in the real world. If you can't establish a social circle (or basketball success) at your new school, makes a lot of sense to run it back.

I was worried they might not land any impact transfers

I'm not surprised w/ the Dingle-St. John's connection. When Penn played Iona, his family had a huge contingency in the arena and I remember reading an article about Dingle's "homecoming" (he's from Valley Stream, LI, just 25 miles from New Rochelle and 10 miles from Queens).
RJ Luis is talented player too: UMass Twitter got on my case when I underestimated his ability in a season preview (I wasn't impressed with his tape, but I ate crow) while I'd bet Ware is a much more realistic pickup in the frontcourt compared to their 5-star ambitions.
Overall, St. John's will be a very fun villain this season.

We would be in a much better place right now had NA hung around for his last year, too bad. Guessing if he was sure of Tristen and AJ there may have been a chance, but he wasn't into 15 minutes a game again. Well with Rick it could still happen unfortunately.

Glenn Taylor is going to be very good. Underheralded because he played on a turrible Oregon State squad, but lots of versatility in his offensive game.
Breakdown ability (45th best FTrate in the nation) played every backcourt position last year even at 6'6 190.

I listened to that podcast and I'm pretty sure he didn't say that exactly.

This kind of silliness belongs in the “Non-key Tweets” thread. Either he has news or he doesn’t.

Considering that Joe Tipton is the harbinger of most key portal related twitter news, IMO, nothing wrong with an early morning tease before sharing the actual news.

There's one:
Fisher was a '23 reclass who just turned 19 in January. 12.2 mpg rotation piece for Texas Tech who will continue DePaul's Canada connection.

The Harlem version of Tyler Polley will have an opportunity to play multiple times a year at MSG. Solid bench pickup.

More movement expected today. I'm heading out to the gym and then errands, so I expect this thread to be active by the time I'm back.
UConn commitment coming? I know Hurley likes to snipe stealthily.

If you'd need another reason to dislike St. John's this year...
