Transfer Portal Starting to Load

Mega athlete and dog - not great offensively.

Former five-star recruit and McDonald's All American will consider a return to Cincinnati.

Shopping for $$$ so he can negotiate with his current team.

Yeap if he was willing to be a backup PF/C I could see a fit. Didn’t shoot the 3 much only 10-34. Looks like a Houston type of player. He looked really good against us 2 years ago when playing for Texas in MSG. Had 21 points and 8 rebounds.

We could definitely use a kid like this in the rotation, don't think he'd be willing to come off the bench.

Houston or SEC kinda kid. Mature bodied.

Move Alex to the 3, it could work.

 

[huskyharry]

He said in an interview that the unwritten rule of not going after players in your conference is over. I think he will consider transfers from other Big East teams.

Speaking of that, 6'9" rising Sophomore Kris Parker from 'Nova is in the portal now

I see him more of a Replacement at the 4 depending on what happens with Karaban's decision.

What 3 on the planet could Alex guard?

I can think of at least 3 on our current roster alone.

Well Alex really improved on guarding 4's but 3's would be too big of a stretch for sure.

Dillon Mitchell would would be a hard pass for me unless it was a deep bench role. He shot 39% this year. And to be clear I'm not talking about from 3 or a total FG%. While standing on the free throw line with nobody guarding him

Intersting landing spot for Pop!

Honor Huff (CG) from Chattanooga in the portal. 5'10" small tough guard from Brooklyn. Career 39.5% 3pt shooter, Shot 41.6% last year on 315 shots (!!!). Many of his 3's were deeeeep.

Man he's small but his stats are great and his mixtape is fun to watch! Loads of teams all over him, including our BE rivals

 

[Jumpman62114]

Regardless of whether AK comes back or not, whoever else we get from the portal needs to bring an element of toughness and physicality.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Here's an under-the-radar guy that might want to play 5-10min for a blue blood?

Jayden Jackson (6'4", 205#) CG from NAU. 2:1 AST:TO ratio last year. Russo connection (former ties to UConn)?

Tough to find a mixtape video on him, but very solid stats:

Fun tape, horrible defensive metrics as you might expect at that size.

Rumors that have been circulating on Twitter have BYU paying Rob Wright 3.5 million in NIL. It certainly hasn’t been getting cheaper to build a roster

 

[Fatroony5]

Definitely want to see them go after an older, established point guard who can come in off the bench & keep things on track. Much like what we saw from Diarra in 23-24. Play alongside Silas & or Ball for a bit too. Has to be someone who plays with a serious edge, can defend, play with physicality, & penetrate a bit, not as concerned with him being a really good shooter. I do think they need another athletic, physical frontcourt player as well. Johnson wasn’t perfect but they’re seriously missing some athleticism in that front court that he provided. Watching what Houston did, would be great to find a swing 4/5 who’s long, athletic. & physical enough to hold up at either spot. Someone a bit in the mold of Javier Francis from Houston.

The word is that a lot of teams are overpaying for players because of the cap coming in July. They want to get kids on the roster before some of this spending goes down or is controlled.

Why? He is small and was a good but not great scorer. That seems like a big overpay if true.
