Transfer Portal April 2023

[Hey Adrien!]

Another example how the portal is a living, breathing beast:



Dennis will be a grad transfer, finishing last season with 19.5p, 4.3r, 5.8a, 1.5s, 1.5 3p%, 36.6 3p%, 76.9 FT% for Toledo.

Sounds like there's already a heavy Illinois lean, but still, if there's mutual interest, I'd be pumped to add the 6'2 180 grad transfer.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Some local news on the portal.



Gaiter is a Meriden native and played HS ball at Sacred Heart in Waterbury.

South Alabama has been one of the more consistent Sun Belt teams since Richie Riley took over when he became one of the earliest pioneers of the portal before it was cool.

I have a former colleague who coaches @ Assumption, tough loss but they can spin this to help them with recruiting - I'd think?

Big East changes within conference continues: St. John’s Posh Alexander commits to Butler. Also, St. John’s Dylan Addae-Wusu transfers to Seton Hall.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Boom.

I would assume so.

What do you all think of this prospect?

What do you all think of this prospect?

While the rest of the schools were going crazy with additions early on, suddenly we're one of the few top destinations with potentially a lotttt of playing time to offer...hmmmm

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I originally posted this in the wrong thread:

I've had the joy of watching Dingle play live last year when Penn visited Iona. Penn stunk that game, lost 78-50, but Dingle scored 16 points with 8-9 on the line (he was 0-7 from three), but I loved his tenacity and ability to break down the defense. He didn't look like a typical Ivy player.

Good size for a CG too at 6'3 195...and he does enough on offense to fit in either as a 1 or 2, depending on his teammates...love his versatility.

Last year, Dingle averaged 23.4p, 3.6r, 2.3a, 2.9 TO, 55.5 2p%, 2.8 3PM, 35.6 3p%, 6.0 FTA and 85.6 FT%.

A lot of his numbers are within national ranks:

Excellent player and great kid.

Sign me up. Would be an excellent fit irregardless whether Newton returns or not.

 

[Frenemy]

Yeah Dingle isn't your typical Ivy league player. I got to see him play a lot in the Big 5 and just in general being from Philly. He can fill it up, he can be a bit streaky though. I believe he had a streak of 20+ games of scoring 20 points last season, inspite of teams keying on him. He would be an excellent pick up for you guys, he is definitely a BE quality starter on a top half team.

I think you're straining the definition of "streaky" a little bit there.

Dingle is a volume 3-point shooter, but not necessarily a great one, Great finisher at the rim for his size. though. His ratio of 3/rim/mid-range and how often they are pull-ups vs. assisted is a bit similar to Souley Boum.

4.8 PRPG! coming from a good mid-major league projects him as a borderline all-conference Big East player in my crude model, expected impact around the level of this past year's Colby Jones (but with Souley Boum upside if his shooting improves).

Could Kentucky have two Jordan Dingles soon? The second leading scorer in college basketball last season and son of a former Calipari player is in the transfer portal.

I have not read the article yet, but I am assuming the last name Dingle means he is the son of Dana Dingle who used to play at UMass in the mid 90s for Calipari.

Edit: 3 minutes later; I was correct

As we saw with some of the guys this year, if you take a guy like newton who was a high volume very low efficiency guy and you put that player on a loaded team they can reduce their volume and up their efficiency in a big way. If we were to somehow get this kid, I bet he shoots in the upper 38%ish range on 3s when playing in a system with spacing where the other team isnt loading up on just him

Indiana and Oregon first two to reach out to Dingle

Should also mention his Dad Dana, aside from playing under Cal at UMass, is also the director of the New Heights (NY) Lightning AAU team. We are currently (and have previously recruited) a bunch of kids from there.

Singare is most notable recent recruit from them. Currently on Meleek Thomas and Jakhi Howard, maybe Badara Diakite.

But we've been in on and missed a bunch of them, too (Pettiford, Armstrong, Akil Watson, Big Cliff, etc.)

Not really relevant to the discourse so I apologize for nitpicking but Newton did not improve his efficiency in a big way. Probably decreased if anything. But I agree with the premise and assume that is a fairly regular situation.

Not technically the portal, but also not worth its own thread

What's the PORPAGATU! looking like?

 

[auror]

What's the PORPAGATU! looking like?

It's right there! Abbreviated! 4.8!

But a transfer from a mid major league to a high major league loses 0.8 PRPG! the year after transferring on average. And further, transfers from the high PRPG! ranges as seniors lose more like 1.4 on average, so probably closer to 3.4. Sample size is only 21. 3.4 PRPG! is still Caleb Daniels/Trey Alexander quality.

Arterio Thomas to Kansas. Wonder what Mr Timberlake thinks of that? Slide over to the 3? Not that familiar with Kansas roster.
