Transfer Portal Starting to Load

[RuffRuff]

It doesn’t officially open for 2.5 weeks but players off finished teams (mainly mid major) are starting to make it public they’ll be entering. With that I thought it might be good to get it rocking and tracking, as we will definitely be in play.

All name team right there...

Are we going to track most of the 2000 or so players who will enter the portal in this thread or only ones UConn shows interest in or ones we think UConn should show interest in? Because if you want us to post all the players who enter the portal then this is going to be one long thread.

I’d say only those players that look of interest to UConn or are generally interesting, directionally speaking as to this lovely colllaboration.

It’s probably good to have somewhere to talk about random entrants of interest to posters. Every name would be overkill.

I refuse to believe that there is a real human named Treysen Eaglestaff who scored 51 points and then flamed out for his 12-21 Summit League team

Ask Denham if you can’t score 101 you can’t make it in Storrs!

I remember last year and the year before there was some kind of interest on here for almost every player who entered the portal. If the guy had a pulse and scored more than 10 ppg there was at least someone on here who wanted UConn to take him. I wish I could say I was exaggerating.

Oh I know. It was basically hoarding it all.

Not only that we should take them, but that we just had to offer an get any of them. "We should just get player X."

The Sid Finch of basketball.

 

[UCLJ0211]

I’m not completely certain, but I’m Fairleigh certain this guy can play….

 

[RuffRuff]

The names we’ll be looking for, one down:

•Obi Agbim
•Bennett Stirtz
•Trey Eaglestaff
•Tarence Guinyard
•Donovan Dent

Here’s a BIG guard

We’ve had a lot of success with guys named Treysen. One is even in Huskies of Honor after going back to back! /s

Looks like Eaglestaff is already talking to the big boys

Kid dropped 40 vs #6 Alabama this year. Yeesh.

Obviously would be a huge pick-up and could slide into McNeeley's role day 1.

 

[boog204]

I know nothing about any of these guys, but I want all of them. Treysen Eaglestaff, Jamichael Stillwell, and Hasan Abdul Hakim! Can you even fathom just how much name butchering potential is here?

On the "who could portal for us" question, look at the returning roster, think for 4 seconds, and go math-ing. Think it would be pretty obvious.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Dauster actually went into what he thought were our "exit" candidates on his Top Dog's Pod this week, which is directionally aligned with consensus here. I know we can't talk about it here until the season is over.

Even once the season is over, there is not naming names until they announce they are in the portal.

Is the Kentucky staff really the “best of the best” though?

Best of the best in all of Lexington.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I'll never object to having a banger who's really good at rebounding on a roster.

What stinks for us is the Pope really is a good coach and seems like a good guy as well.

I agree but “best of the best” is an extreme statement given his limited accomplishments

 

[boog204]

Only saw him versus Bama, and not really. Hurley can teach defense!

Ugh... We went through this this year. Really hope they walk back their "recruit offensive players and teach them to defend" rationale. No es bueno.

Watching this dude, though, is kind of wild. He's not particularly athletic, and he's very unorthodox. Plays very hard, though. I'm trying to think of a comp but struggling to come up with one.

Articles speculating on Eaglestaff potential landing spots based on roster needs and his skill set. Kentucky(as already mentioned above)/Bama/Oklahoma.. Early short list prior to March Madness limitations being lifted. Always interesting how congratulation line handshakes present opportunities for staff to plant some seeds-in the portal era of hoops.
