Transfer Portal April 2023

Every school can buy players. Does Arkansas have some secret stash of NIL money for deep bench players?

Walmart.

Steven Ashworth #9 rated point guard in the portal commits to Creighton. Nice get for Big East.

Ashworth comes from Utah State.

X and Creighton have filled backcourt holes well.

X still has some front court work to do, if they can.

Cause picks up Chance Westry which is good for them I guess.

Arkansas seems like a dumpster fire just switch out the entire roster year in and out. Was a big Mussleman fan early on but he seems like a fraud like so many others now.

He's definitely a good coach but offering every guy in the portal doesn't sound like a good plan if that's what he plans on doing going forward.

Ashworth comes from Utah State.

Big East is absolutely crushing it with transfers since it went to this new portal thing. I'm not sure a lot of people expected it but the Big East seems to do better than any other power conference with it.

I just got an interesting DM from a KU guy who said the latest he just heard was that KU has moved on to a new target who is yet to enter the portal. Take that for what it’s worth…

Told y’all. Jaylon Tyson from Texas Tech just entered and KU is already on him

KU went full Cooley it seems.

KU went full Cooley it seems.

There's a lot of grain money out there being put to good use.....

Mike Brey to join Atlanta Hawks staff

Brey, 64, retired as the coach of the Fighting Irish in March at the conclusion of his 23rd season helming the program.

[Hey Adrien!]

One of my father-in-law's favorite players. He's a HUGE NDSU fan and Rohde went off against them going for 20 pt, 5r, 3a, 5s.

A 6'6 195 point guard with legit NBA scouts attention.

Virginia also added Georgetown's Dante Harris and Merrimack's Jordan Minor (two-way big with a motor for days) via the portal.

Honestly, I can see Rohde getting more PT than Dante Harris, who I'm not a fan of.

I agree with your second point, but next year isn't just a clean slate: Arkansas returns their captain Devo Davis, arguably their best player, Trevon Brazile, a top-20 recruit from last year in Jordan Walsh, as well as two other top-100 recruits from last year. Also add two top-30 '23 guys.

That being said, Arkansas' transfer haul is insane:

• Khalif Battle 6’5 175 SR from Temple, 17.9p, 3.6r, 1.8a, 1.0s, 35 3p%, 89.9 ft%
• El Ellis 6’3 180 GR, 17.7p, 4.4a, 1.0s, 31.9 3p% i n36 mpg
• Keyon Menifield 6’1 170 SO from Washington, 10p, 2.9r, 3.1a, 1.1s, 33.0 3p%, 28.7 mpg
• Tramon Mark 6’5 195 SR from Houston, 10.1p, 4.9r, 1.1s, 32.8 3p%,
• Jeremiah Davenport 6’7 210 GR from Cincy, 9.1p, 4.2r, 33.3 3p%, 25.6 mpg

Overall, as it stands, Arkansas' top-nine for next season is insanely good.

Super talented. Still can’t shoot

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

People also said that about Hurley.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Ehh, I think that was a roster construction thing more than in-game coaching. Arkansas just can't shoot and Hurley was able to totally sell out to avoid penetration. Hard to really do anything as a coach to counter that.

This is exactly what they need as a replacement for Dick. Nobody with any experience to play SF for this team. Going to play dual scoring PGs, so the wing needs some size and rebounding.

Can you layout Kansas roster as of right now? There’s no good breakdowns online.

I really don't get Musselman's offensive philosophy. I can't see a team that shoots so poorly ever winning it all and he never goes after any shooters.

So who are the best CGs left in the portal? Just curious.
