Transfer Portal Window 2023

[imno1]

Yes on the backs of his recruits. Hawkins, Andre, Karaban, DC, and Sanogo have been the most impactful players on this team. We aren’t winning because the transfers have played a huge role. The freshmen have had bigger ones. I wouldn’t mind seeing if that can ring true for next year too.

Tyler Kolek was a transfer. Marquette would not be nearly as good without him. And Newton hasn’t played a big role?

 

[Deleted at users request]

No doubt the freshman have had monster roles but can't throw out the transfers roles. Joey C a monster part of 14-0 despite the drop mid season. And Alleyne has been crucial in his minutes as of late and Diarra had his moments. By no means are we at this point without them as well.

For me even with a great frosh class coming in there's nothing like some experience to blend in to the team from an impact transfer or 2 who fit strategically.

I agree. I love Joey’s C game especially. Alleyne has really just came on towards the end of the year.

This is one of the first years we don’t have transfers playing over any of our own guys I guess is what I’m really trying to say. And it’s paid dividends.

There was talk about hitting the portal for a 4 last year but imagine if we brought someone in over Karaban and he doesn’t get this valuable experience that he got this year?

When he struggled early on in the year defensively do we think he would’ve kept getting good minutes to grow if we had a stable veteran transfer presence? The progress we’ve seen from Karaban is why I advocate so hard for young talented players to get consistent time with defined roles even if they struggle some at times (like Hawkins last year). Difference with Hawkins is we had Martin and it seemed to impede his development.

That’s all I’m worried about with our very talented freshman class we have coming in.

 

[Ports21]

His situation is like the Ivies that don't offer 5th year scholarships. His school doesn't have grad programs so he can't stay. It's undergrad only.

I did not know this. Touche

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Here's an actual name. He put his name into the portal early as a 5th year COVID grad transfer. Plays tonight in the Patriot league final if you want to do some scouting.


Bootleg Baylor Scheierman. 6'7". Not a strong defender, but his block/steal rates are actually not horrible. Career 39% from 3, 80% from the line. This season 42% and 86%. Definitely a shooter.

Good call out. He would be a great fit as a pure shooter off the bench - not very athletic but tall enough to overcome it. His set shot is unbelievably pure. Lafayette is playing Colgate for the championship tonight / I'm sure Colgate is going to be all over him.

I think Singare is going to be backup to Clingin…Adama will go pro…Singare might be raw..but he is big strong and athletic… perfect backup

 

[HuskyHawk]

I'd be very surprised if Singare is ready Tyler Phommachanh back up Clingan. Strikes me as a redshirt candidate.

Yeah, I'm expecting Johnson at the 4-5 as backup to both Donovan and Alex if he's here. Singare is a project. People think Samson is skinny and raw, wait until they see Singare.

Honestly, I'm curious about whether Castle was told he's play PG or not. If so, then Diarra may be the backup and that's it. I suppose Ball is the starting 2, then, but I wouldn't mind Alleyne returning in that role. Starting two freshman guards isn't confidence inspiring.

Working out pretty well for Purdue.

 

[alphasigko]

What we need is an absolute sniper to play the 2. Preferably a combo guard. And Castle gives us a ton of flexibility as we can play him next to a tiny guard so we should have mucho options.

A player like Tiger Campbell perhaps?

 

[Fishy]

Bring in Joe Girard for the Joey C spot.

100% no.

That last shot he took will serve as my argument.

 

[TRest]

100% no.

That last shot he took will serve as my argument.

Play him 8 minutes a game off the ball, cant leave him open in the corner. In case we need a zone buster or end-of-half/game situation since Alex will now be double-teamed.

 

[firstnline]

100% no.

It was hero ball all the way. Nothing but brick city.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Not surprising, but looks like we’ll pass on this one.

No.

Zero minutes.

He’s played 4,000 minutes of college basketball and he’s still the same selfish twit he was in high school. He makes teams worse by existing.

Plus, lol, he’s not looking for a team that is gonna reduce him from a starting role and 34 minutes a game to the eight minute reserve role you’re proposing.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Gotta love the balls on Marist here. Get Dave Magarity and Alan Tomidy on the phone and let them close!

Eh, I figured he would want to play in some meaningful regular season games for once in his life.

 

[mauconnfan]

The only issue here is the propensity for DC to foul. If indeed Sanogo is gone will DC mature, stay on the ground on ball fakes and not swing his arms down on occasion? I mean I agree Singare would be nice if we know we're going to get 25-30 minutes out of DC consistently but if not, he's young and a potential big body transfer with experience may work here as well. Hoping Singare is the guy though.

Boeheim will give him those minutes next year.

We’ve got the biggest game of the season thus far tomorrow and we’re 5 pages into transfer portal thread. Grow up and refocus!!!

I can do two things at once. Plus, once again I am not playing in the games.

Agree with you re. Samson. He’s gotta be Clingans backup. I don’t see us bringing in a fourth C and our minutes at PF are spoken for between Karaban and Stewart.

But unless both Newton and Alleyne come back then we need to bring in another starting G. Ball needs to be a bench scorer.

No one else is going to crack this rotation it’s over 10 deep.

Castle- Diarra
Transfer- Ball
Jackson- Alleyne- Ross
Karaban- Stewart
Clingan- Johnson- Singare

Okay I’m going to ask you some portal related questions tomorrow at 3:11pm EST. If you don’t respond with enough depth, I’ll ask you to retract this statement.

Oh, he's a chucker.

Boeheim? Next year?

Transfer portals are a great way to release nervous energy

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Towson's Nicolas Timberlake just hit the portal and is an immediate guy I'd be interested as a shooter and scorer with size.

The 6'4 205 grad transfer from Braintree, MA averaged 17.7p, 3.9r, 2.4a, 2.8 3PM at 41.6 3p% and 3.5 FTA at 84.5 ft%

Was the alpha guard at Towson offensively, but his defensive metrics look below average.

High-major prospect, for sure.

Definitely like this a lot. Prolific shooter. Strong finishing at rim, too. We'll cut down his midrange jumpers and he'll get even more efficient.

This seems like a no brainer. Perfect fit next to Castle, one season opens up minutes for the Sophomores to step up.

Couldn't hit a shot tonight. 0/6 from 3. Next.

Okay, now, what Syracuse players do we want in the portal lol
