Interesting. Profiles kinda Whaley-ish:

6'7 230, 59.2 2p%, 31.4 3p% (~45% shots from 3), 5.9r, 1.0s, 2.2 blocks per game.

I was just watching his highlights and I said the exact same thing, he looks Whaley-ish. Has a lot of defensive highlights, which I love to see.

I still am concerned about our shooting more than anything, so I don’t know how I feel about another low percentage 3-pt shooter.

Pretty much, I would take him and I like his game, but we really need Hurley to get some shooters with the other scholarships. This team needs more offensive weapons.
 
I thought Geronimo was Manchester, New Hampshire a la Wenyan Gabriel, Akok Akok, and Piath Gabriel? My head is literally spinning with all this player movement. (No jokes - maybe figuratively spinning). I loved Hutchins-Everett if the Clingan sweepstakes was getting iffy, and Freeman was his lead recruiter that got him to Penn St. Lucas Taylor I thought would be a solid pick up, Timberlake I thought should be a star. There is so much happening so fast our coaching staff must be out of their minds. I appreciate Carlton and Adams declaring their intentions early and hope we will know about Polley and Whaley and anybody else ASAP. Coaches and fans can't count on anything or anybody at all right now. Kids playing the most minutes possible are transferring. I hope our chairs are full when the music stops.

His shooting improved drastically from freshman to sophomore year. Gotta think he has the potential to become very, very good.

Good handle for someone playing the 4. High-major experience. Sign me up.

The amount of transfers is insane, I'll probably be checking the board every day hoping a certain 1 or 2 Husky players don't go in the portal.

Originally a UConn commit, but I don’t think that holds much weight as that was a totally different UConn team

He missed a bunch of layup/putbacks in the Cuse game. I laughed and said he would have fit right in here. Guess the Maryland game was still a little raw.

If you want to see how adding or subtracting players would affect our 2021-22 projections, this will do it for you. I can’t even imagine how much time I’m going to spend on that page over the next couple of weeks or months.

That was the Myreon Jones/Whaley/Polley scenario. Bumps us from 28 to 14.

The only surprise was Gantt. Monroe does not play and Nichols has serious health problems and wants to be closer to home. I do have a prediction though. PC get's Toney from Pitt and adds Top 100 PG Bobby Pettiford who was released from his Louisville commitment although Kansas is involved now.

That being said I think PC will see another player transfer out as well. It is as crazy a time in CBB as I have ever seen. Wahab from Georgetown is a complete head scratcher although I think they get Timberlake and Lykes.

Gantt really underwhelmed offensively IMO. I think he was rated too highly coming out of HS.

The way Virginia slowly grooms players make me ignore his lack of playing time.

From Brian Snow: Not a great athlete, and doesn’t have prototype size for an off guard. Tough player who can really score. Good going to the rim and shooting from the mid-range. Long-range jumper continues to improve. On defense he is committed and is extremely tough. Has a good motor, and gets the most out of his physical tools. Should develop into a starter for the Cavaliers.

Another player I'd totally sign up for.

6'3 200 pound guard from a good program. Shooting numbers are not great though.

Unreal how little he developed. Maddening actually.

If you look at the 50-100th ranked recruits every year, a lot of them never become much. It’s tough for all fans because they convince themselves their commits are the next big thing.
 
Some transfer portal fun name facts:
  • Three players named Terrell Brown
  • Two players named Tre Mitchell
  • There's a Carter, a Carter Jr. and two Carter III's.
  • Two Christmases
  • Charlie Daniels is available
  • 14 Johnson's and Jones'
  • Khalid El-Amin, Ron Artest, Jamal Mashburn, Glenn Robinson, Larry Robinson and Fred Hoiberg all have their sons in the portal.

I'm old enough to have learned that. Look at that PG at Oral Roberts. If there is a better PG in college basketball I have not seen him and he's 19.
