Transfer Portal - May 2023

[Hey Adrien!]

Love Cam Spencer.

2.3 3PM, 43.4 3P%, 89.4 FT%, 2.0 steals/gm

A stout guard who can shoot and play tough D. I feel like he always showed up late in games for Rutgers. Played all three backcourt positions and was even the backup PG.

High analytical rates too:

 

[Storrs South]

I'm guessing Georgetown, would be a big get for them

 

[auror]

Make the call Hurley.

UConn should be way more appealing to him than Georgetown.

Just by tea leaves I think it's obvious that Hawkins, Sanogo, and Andre are gone
And Tristen is returning so that leaves us with:

Castle/Diarra
Newton/Ball/Ross
________/Stewart/Ross
Karaban/Johnson
Clingan/Singare

Spencer is exactly what we're missing to be the #1 team in the country imo

We need at least two tall guard/sf shooters

[Huskyforlife]

Ed Cooley and poaching players not in the portal. Name a more iconic duo.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Kind of hoping this a guy with no info. Why would we want a 4th PG?

 

[Huskyforlife]

I threw up in my mouth.

 

[auror]

We need at least two tall guard/sf shooters

I'd expect at least one of Ball/Ross/Stewart to be able to play right away at a high level, so we'll manage with 1 addition probably.

 

[navery12]

It's just a clickbait tweet/article. Until we actually reach out to him I won't freak out

 

[Jay-Bone]

How about Cam Spencer? He helped put Rutgers on the map this year. Must be a good defender and would provide veteran leadership.

Cam is on my most wanted list

Rutgers fans, don’t blame Cam Spencer for taking NIL cash | Politi

Cam Spencer, the leading scorer on the Rutgers men's basketball team, made a business decision when he announced he was transferring. Expect more like it to come.

www.nj.com

-> Spencer was hardly considered a flight risk. Not only was he the team’s leading scorer, but was the kind of Rutgers athlete who, just a couple weeks ago, was cheering on his fellow Scarlet Knights at the Big Ten golf championships in nearby Galloway. He had playing time, a coaching staff he liked and a guaranteed slot in dozens of primetime TV games.

What more could he want?

Multiple sources confirmed on Friday that Spencer made a business decision. When the transfer portal closed for the sport last week, the senior shooting guard — who, because he received his degree this spring, was free to go anywhere and play right away — became a hot commodity. He apparently received a name, image and likeness offer that he could not refuse, from a yet-to-be-revealed suitor that was desperate for talent. Georgetown is believed to be that program. <-

Sorry but something needs to change this has become ridiculous. Salary cap in college? Lol like it would stop Self and others. Huge can of worms for the cheaters has been opened. Need to get a handle on this crap.

Makes perfect sense.
Easy Ed on the prowl and likely has way more money to play with at Georgetown than Dan Hurley has to work with.
Too bad for him if true, as a NC would be something more meaningful for a lifetime than one year of NIL $........of course just how desperate Cooley is and how much money's involved could change a kid's mind.

Why would he have more money to play with at Georgetown than we have?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

They will probably have some version of collective bargaining and a salary cap at some point, but it could take a while. Georgetown is showing what can happen if one of the prestige universities decides enough is enough.

If Stanford or Northwestern or Duke ever decided to really go to war in recruiting in the NIL era, they would dominate. They just have more ultra rich alumni than anyone else.

There is no other institution in the United States like Harvard when it comes to having the most well-off graduates.

Has Sanogo signed with an agent? Imagine what his NIL value might be worth. He might get 500k or more to go play for a university. Or is he still unable to make NIL? Nevermind in that case.

 

[Jbirdp5]

My guess would be because of desperation

You can sign with certain agents and still maintain eligibility but I doubt Adama plays another college game.I think he’s going to get drafted in the 2nd round.

Why do you think there’s more money at Georgetown?

 

[UconnPT2007]

6-4, grad transfer, 40+% from 3, and fills our biggest need… enters the portal a day after the combines have ended and Dan Hurley likely knows none of our dudes are coming back (even if Newton somehow returns, this is still a need). I hope Hurley has this one locked up.

My sources are all saying Georgetown

 

[NJHoops]

I don’t know about “sources,” yours or anyone else’s, but it was set to be Georgetown until Cooley and company messed up by setting the transfer in motion but not finalizing the deal before the transfer news became public. Now, the price has gone up. Cooley’s been getting a lot of mileage out of his good guy rep/PC fan adoration and to see people finally getting a real look at him is gratifying. I’m not naive. I know how this all works, but some of us have been knowing about Ed.

People act like getting transfers these days is like setting your fantasy baseball roster (see a need, fill a need). It’s more complex and, to some, restrictive than it has ever been.

He’s been shady. Idk how UConn fans didn’t realize this after CFJ
