Recruiting Transfers - April

[Hey Adrien!]

Just wanted to move this on to a new month. Great discussion so far.

Currently, there are 1172 players that have put their name in the transfer portal, crushing last season's record of 1025.

More fun names of note:

• Paul Newman - Bucknell
• Jackson Brown[e] - Albany
• Charlie Daniels - Stephen F. Austin

Thanks for starting a new thread!

Just posted in the separate Noah Locke thread, but I just noticed that he followed the official UConn Men’s Basketball account on twitter. Trying not to get ahead of myself but it’s interesting.

Certainly not a bad sign!

TJD returning to Indiana

TJD returning to Indiana

That's huge for them.

 

[MDHuskFan]

That's huge for them.

I don’t think he was on a lot of draft boards, yet alone looking like a Rd 1 kid. This is an oddly logical return to school

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Newtown's Nevin Zink has transferred from South Carolina Upstate to Boston University. Solid season last year averaging 9.1p, 5.6r in 26.4 mpg.

Good to see a local kid transfer back into New England! He'll team up with St. Luke's alum and New Haven resident Walter Whyte.

TJD returning to Indiana

Great news for IU Hoops- Coach Woodson just scored some points with Hoosier faithful
TJD could be a lottery pick after next season

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Crazy...wasn't he top 50 or something? I just remember him being the most cut player I've seen since patrick young at Florida

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Big shooting guard alert:

Cal's Matt Bradley is in the transfer portal. The 6'4 220 senior averaged 18.0p, 4.6r and hit 36.4% of his 3s last season (40.2 career 3p%).

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Wow. Both Igiehon and Taeshon Cherry this week.

And they aren't just a Transfer U. They had the 60th best recruiting class in 2020 and they have two three-star recruits coming in 2021, including a top-250 recruit. Incoming junior point guard Jovan Blacksher can flat out ball. Grand Canyon will be very good next year, arguably the best team in the WAC.

The WAC Is making some waves for 2020-21: they are adding Abilene Christian, Stephen F. Austin and Southern Utah next season (all top-150 KenPom teams). Add those three teams with Grand Canyon and New Mexico State and you got a nice collection of mid-major squads. Sam Houston State and Lamar are going to be added too.

Yeah, I thought he was gonna be a monster player too

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Another transfer target off the list.

 

[SportsFan88]

I remember this board wanting him BAD

Another one on the short list of actual guys we've contacted gone

An in-conference transfer, imagine that

 

[Storrs South]

 

[auror]

That wording is hilarious. "Averaged nearly 4.5 points per game."

[kansashusky]

Dominos starting to fall. Hopefully we get some good news soon.

 

[NJHoops]

Go get ‘em, Fatts! I think it will work out well for him there, Gets to play with his guy Donta and will likely get back to the tournament. Happy for him!

 

[Kolumbo]

Everyone's looking to upgrade.

 

[rollskies]

Another we had reached out to

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Perfect fit!

If Wiggins returns, Maryland returns their entire starting lineup and Fatts would become the #1 scorer off the bench.

If Wiggins declares for the NBA, he'd be a guy in the running to replace his starting role.

No matter what, Maryland will be very good next year. They'll be an old team. Ayala, Wiggins, Fatts and Hamilton will be seniors and Scott, Hart and Wahab (if getting waiver) will be juniors.

Morsell hasn't announced he's coming back I don't think, but he might.

 

[rip7774]

Feels like Maryland could pound us by 30 now. But so many say we can’t offend any current players with new additions...

Plenty of time left in the transfer game. This is only the second inning. Let's judge Dan Hurley's performance at the end;. I trust in him.

I agree with this completely. It is still early. As teams start adding transfers, others will enter the portal when perceived playing time diminishes. Patience is a virtue. I'm sure the staff has a plan (like always). Trust in Hurley.

I wonder if you’ll also see some incoming freshmen decommit based on transfers.
