Big East Transfer Portal Thread

[gioff2323]

Can you afford the portal at 45k?

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

They didn't say very difficult. They said "you can't live on that." I lived in Atlanta around 2015 and made $50k. I lived by myself in a brand new apartment building and had enough left over to hang out with friends on weekends. The statement was just what I said it was - out of touch.

That’s $64k in 2023 dollars and a 42% increase on 45k lol

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Addae-Wusu is one of my more favorite non-UConn Big East players.

Something about his positionless size and his combination of strength/defense with offensive versatility.

Glad he's staying in the conference.

Tbh I hope all of the guys that Pitino chases out stay in the BE and then go off against St Johns next year

Wow really going out on a limb there

He must be really connected.

Maybe Stewart and Ross really are more ready in Hurley’s eyes than I figured. Otherwise the lack of urgency to add shooting has been pretty hard to understand

Or could it be that we're waiting to see who withdraws from the NBA draft where the best potential transfers are right now? I'm going to say "yes". No need to rush here.

Name one star guard in the portal that is in the draft process.

Your setting yourself up for disappointment Hurley is not going to dip into the portal for “big time” type talent until Andre and Newton have made their decisions, and no player of this stature will make a decision with the situation so unclear. Wait it out you never know who’s going to jump into the portal when. The staff will have a good plan for all the variables, sit back and relax

 

[Hey Adrien!]

This is a dumb way to frame it since we're not looking for a star guard anyway, but RayJ Dennis from Toledo

Wow, Trilly Donovan really nailed it!

My point was that Hurley isn’t eyeing any players that are in the draft process (other than his own potential returnees) so the post I quoted was irrelevant

I guess, but it's all a domino effect. I have no problem with waiting, especially since if Jackson and Newton both come back we're not bringing in any transfers

If a coach could ever get Alexander to play even a little bit under control, he would be a pretty good player. I don't think he is a great shooter, but it is hard to tell when he takes so many crazy, super low percentage shots. As for the rest, maybe Matta has landed the low major motherload. More likely, Butler is going to struggle with this roster.

If they both come back there would be one scholarship open still, and if they didn’t use it this roster would have almost no shooting.

Well Hurley said the plan next year is to only use 11 or 12 scholarships, so I wouldn't get your hopes up

He did? Wow I missed that. That would be running the risk of having huge spacing and shooting problems, but after this year I can’t complain.

 

[elmcityboy]

good for butler!!

the big east is gonna be spicy next year...

Was during his press conference last week after all the NBA draft decisions

Almost beat Marquette single handedly in BE tournament

Karaban, Newton, Romoglou, Ross, Stewart, Castle, Ball and our next outside threat, Clingan, might take issue with that dire forecast.

 

[M.S.G.]

Such a weird move for Posh Alexander to Butler, must have got a BAG.. Love the St. Johns kid, he's such a bulldog. I would have thought he could have dont better than Seton Hall.

 

[M.S.G.]

Seton Hall commit re-opens recruitment?
