Transfer Portal Starting to Load

[MJ1]

Head scratcher- Stumbled on a SportsGrid article predicting landing spots for Top 35 remaining uncommitted portal entrants. Has Desmond Claude at#7-- Prediction-UConn.. I just don't see it. Article released in last 5 hours or so.

Claude does not have UConn listed, next four visits Florida, UNC, Kansas, and Virginia.

Like I said-A head scratcher. Think Dan is looking for depth at the 4-5 spot. Don't see it as remotely possible but thought Yarders might get a kick out of it-I did.

Just looked up Desmond Claude and he’s from New Haven.

You don't say?

IIRC Tyon Grant-Foster - GCU was one of the darlings of the NCAAs two years ago as a spectacular athlete. 6'7" 220 and long wing span. We could definitely use a boost of athleticism and he could provide depth at the 4

It won’t be us.

Tipton is a top 5 guy. Knows his stuff. Has a great brand. To reiterate-I never said Claude was even a UConn target. I shared the fact that there was a prediction for UConn. Which I found to be a "head scratcher" and that "I just don't see it happening". No smoke here. Just found it interesting and I wanted to share it with my 3 friends on the BY.

I feel like Claude has been around for like 9 years… cannot believe he still has eligibility.

 

[Mr. French]

Acaden Lewis to Nova. Good for the Big East.

Will be interesting to watch him. Him and Mullins were the two guards I really wanted.

Me too, I love his game. Well, I wanted Meleek first.

He was part of the same class as AK before he enrolled early. Only been in school for 3 years

 

[NewBlood]

Baba Miller. Please get this man on the team. Big wing. Finishes at the rim. Very good shot blocker

 

[Husky15]

Have there been any rumors of who we’re targeting for a backup big? If not any fun names you guys like?

Baba and Federiko Federiko would both be great fits and are cool names ...but I am about as disconnected from rumors as one can get

 

[Fatroony5]

Federiko committed to Texas A&M

 

[superjohn]

Tyler Betsey committed to Syracuse.

Baba is a great fit.

 

[REB1094]

Tyler Betsey committed to Syracuse.

Is Syracuse now the "transfer down" destination school?

 

[Mooch82]

Baba is a great fit.

I’d be shocked if Baba was a realistic option now that AK is back.

 

[mauconnfan]

Oh I agree unless you can sell him national championship potential and then the start with Reibe next year?

 

[RuffRuff]

Me too, I love his game. Well, I wanted Meleek first.

It was hard to follow Meleek in that hype factory he joined but his stock generally dropped this year. I feel like he started the year about 7 and is now in that 12 range. I’m not totally sure why.

 

[Mooch82]

Oh I agree unless you can sell him national championship potential and then the start with Reibe next year?

Well he only has one year of eligibility left unless the rules change at this point.

[ToolzieFan]

UNC, Florida, and Kentucky are all no longer involved with Desmond Claude. Is this a guy who misjudged his own value?

 

[ToolzieFan]

New schools for Claude here.

 

[DogMania]

These sound ridiculous. Hard to take this seriously.
