Transfer Portal April 2023

Would be brutal for Creighton if true.

Unless Bronny James or equivalent is walking through that door, might need to rethink projecting Creighton in the BE top 3 (with UConn and Marquette) next season.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Would be brutal for Creighton if true.

Brutal, yes, but a perfect landing spot positionally for both players.

Arizona was not a deep team last season and graduate guard Courtney Ramey and shooting wing Cedric Henderson, plus Tubelis might go pro.

If Nembhard/Kaluma join Arizona, then a potential starting lineup of Nembhard/Boswell/Larsson/Kaluma/Ballo really impresses.

Overall, the P12 will be much better next season: USC and Colorado will be much improved, Oregon returns at least three starters and bring in two top-10 recruits, Washington State returns almost their entire team...

If Zona gets all the guys they are rumored to, they will win the transfer portal this year. They may need 25 scholarships for it, but…

What the heck is going on at Creighton? Losing 2 starters like that, on a team that is expected to be really good, is not a good look. Something must be going on there.

Is McDermott leaving? He was rumored to ND at one time.

 

[Stinger92860]

Could these players be transferring for better NIL opportunities?

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Could these players be transferring for better NIL opportunities?

University of Arizona bball players own Tucson but Phoenix is ASU and Grand Canyon University. I’m sure U of A players get pretty good NIL opportunities in southern Arizona.

 

[lange10]

Perhaps this is McDermott?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Perhaps this is McDermott?

Probably a retirement. Izzo?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Probably a retirement. Izzo?

How many “massive” coaches are there anymore? Self, Izzo, Few. That’s about it. There’s the younger guys like Hurley and Oates but I can think of very few long established guys with Wright, Roy and K all gone.

It’s either them, or he’s exaggerating for engagement, which is always possible on the internet.

Follow up tweet. College to NBA it sounds like. Narrows the list a little bit

 

[REB1094]

Whoa.

Fingers crossed it’s cal trying to get out of dodge and we can take a crack at Edwards

[MJ1]

Good night for Georgetown in the portal, Epps from Illinois and now Dontrez Styles from UNC commits to the Hoyas.

 

[Mr. French]

Super versatile defender and a solid stretch 4.



Crap, with Cooley at Georgetown am I actually going to like this Providence squad? Feels weird, but like Georgetown and St. John’s seem like the new villains now.

Coached against Ticket, he’s an athlete and willing defender with length. Excited for him to play in the Big East. He’s no star but solid player and loves coach English it seems.

 

[Classof87]

Those are the only schools interested in him? What a paltry list

 

[huskymedic]

 

[alphasigko]

Clayton, Jr of Iona and Lukocious of Bulter are in the portal. Suggest a push to get either or both. If one, Clayton would be a great add.

 

[businesslawyer]

You do realize that these things have a way of working themselves out. I do think we will be just looking for one shooter in the transfer portal especially if Alleyne and possibly Newton is coming back.

Well, they ultimately do because only 13 players can show up for classes next fall and have their schollies covered. And it's hard to have a good conversation about this without violating the gag order we're all under. But reading tea leaves, and respecting the gag order, I have seen nothing that makes me think we're going into the portal for anything other than another #2 and that the staff hopes it's Timberlake.

 

[navery12]

Just watched his highlight vid on his Visit Thread...he is definitely is the shooter that is needed to replace Hawk... However, IMO we still need to add a classic PG like Clayton Jr to enhance the offense.

That PG is coming already in the form of a top 10 freshman recruit named Stephon Castle

If Newton/Diarra/AJax return (and Castle incoming) what would we need another PG for?

 

[alphasigko]

Understood, Castle looks the part... However, he will be a freshman... I should have added the adjective "experienced" before "classic PG"... Would it not be great to have one with experience and another up and coming PG to back him up?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

"classic point guard"

Newton averaged 1.5 more assists per game than Walter Clayton this year.

 

[Umami Zen]

Don't think you have to worry about recruiting a point guard.. My guess is that Dan sleeps pretty well at night with his projected roster for next year..

 

[husky429]

Agreed. But I also think we need to look for an experienced backup big willing to play 10-15 minutes a game if Singare and/or Samson not ready and/or injury insurance. Not overly experienced or deep in the front court.

Stephon Castle loading....

 

[PNolanFan]

Lets say Jackson and Newton are back and we have a lineup of
Castle 30 minutes
newton 30 minutes
jackson 30 minutes
karaban 30 minutes
clingan 30 minutes

Samson/Alleyne/ball/singare/stewart/ross of the bench and 50 total minutes available for that group of 6 guys. If staff is confident that those guys can play backup minutes the only possible need I see is an extra backup big for insurance. I legit think Stewart and Ball especially are gonne be ready for big minutes form day 1. Think we are sleeping on stewart a bit, but he seems like an ideal 3/d wing who can play minutes as a freshman

 

[navery12]

Someone experienced like say a national championship winning PG like Tristen Newton? Absolutely

I believe Clayton is down to St Johns (shocker) and Florida. Don’t think we have a shot at him

Lukosius is an interesting one. I assumed he was inefficient but shot 38% from three last year. If we’re going for a BE shooter, then I’d prefer Storr
