Bouncy post forward and an elite shot blocker. Injury issues last year (shoulder).

For Butler, Bates would pair great with transfer Jalen Thomas for a very good defensive post pair. For Georgetown, Bates would allow Mutombo to develop at his own rate.

Major transition on what the 5 spot will provide for Butler. Bryce Golden was a gifted, smart offensive player, but a terrible defender.

Between Bates and Georgia State transfer Jalen Thomas, Butler has a terrific defensive 1-2 punch at the 5 spot.

UConn builds teams to beat some of our competition. League teams know they need to deal with Sanogo, and possibly our future 5s as well. Makes sense.
 
Creighton lands Baylor Scheierman..

BE is going to be a monster league next year with all of the portal adds

Since the other thread got locked.

Seton Hall picks up transfer Al-Amir Dawes from Clemson. That makes how many transfers in for them?

Clemson transfer Al-Amir Dawes commits to Seton Hall

Clemson transfer Al-Amir Dawes has committed to Seton Hall. Dawes, who is from New Jersey will be coming home to play for new head coach Shaheen Holloway who brought St.

With Georgetown adding Heath and Spears, I doubt Antoine Davis will end up at Georgetown.



Kansas State has five scholarship players, so he’d be primed for a ton of PT there.
 
Butler with nice work in the portal this offseason:



The 6'4 175 Hunter averaged 6.2p, 2.1r, 2a, 46.2 fg% and a 43.6 3p% (after two seasons of around 30%) in 25.8 mpg. He's a native of Indianapolis.

He's a weird tweener: not a good enough shooter to be a 2 and not a good enough handler/distributor to be a 1.

He's a smart, system type of offensive player but I don't recall any major breakdown ability from when I saw Purdue play.

Butler now with a solid 8 man rotation with Bates/Thomas as their bigs, Ali as their 4 (all three of which are transfers), Lukosius and Taylor as their wings and Harris/Hunter/Tate are their guards.

What an interesting roster at Seton Hall.

aNo "classic" PGs, but between Richmond/Dawes/Odukale/Harris they can roll out lineups with three "combo" guards.

Very good work from Holloway this offseason!

oh I see. I guess Maryland decided it wasn't worth it to keep paying him. That's just my guess that Maryland must have poached him with a money envelope. For purely basketball reasons, without money or anything else involved, it never made sense for him to leave GTown.

He’ll get around the rule cause the new coach, but situations like this, the kid should HAVE to sit out. Kinda a joke
 
You'd think that Jay Bilas would want to weigh in on academics a little bit in all of this.

After all, he has been beating that Robert Smith at Ohio State story for years (Smith wasn't allowed to take classes or to major in what he wanted).

And here we are seeing a kid set himself back years with multiple transfers. There is no way for him to jump schools like this constantly and to stay on track.

Transfers work well with academics when students are freshman but once you're a junior? That's rough. And the kids going to 3 schools? How does that work. Don't understand it.

I can make a good case for sophomores to transfer as well, but at that point, you are extending your time at school in most cases.

While I’m all for bashing Bilas, you’re mad he’s into players having the free will to choose their schools and classes??

The players have free will to do anything. I don't care. They can go to 10 schools. What I'm saying is that by doing this, they aren't proceeding to a degree. After years of hearing Bilas rail about these issues, you'd think he would comment on the fact that he is pushing for a system that causes the very thing he's against. I thought that was obvious in my post.
 
In the Andy Baylock era (granted with very little scholorship money), he almost never recruited or gave try-outs to potential baseball players who were Engineering or Pharmacy majors, I guess he surmised the course load, labs, homework etc. was too much for them combined with the athletic demands.
