Transfer Portal

Looks like Floyd wasn’t too big a priority at Providence. That’s telling.

 

[FriarJ]

They got bigs and guards, where the wings at?

6’ 6” Bryce Hopkins from Kentucky is next transfer to pop I bet. We also have a redshirt freshman from Michigan 6’8” Legend Geeter who we are waiting to see what he can do.

Risky way to run a program.

Fail hard recruiting and then try to make a living getting kids who are washing out of better programs.

It’ll work until it doesn’t.

I agree if they were all senior transfers. They are not. Hopkins and Carter have 3 years left. Hardly risky when you can see what they did already versus a freshman that has never played college ball. I hate to tell you this but the new CBB train has left the station and you appear to be refusing to board. Luckily your coach has it figured out.

One of the better comments I've read on this thread

“The new CBB train” directly translates to “we haven’t been able to sign a four-star recruit in like four years.”

[Hey Adrien!]

Looking at the recent commits list, I gotta give new Missouri coach Dennis Gates a shout out to how he's retaining talent while adding a lot of solid players in the transfer portal:

• Top scorer (12.5) and rebounder (7.6) Kobe Brown returns
• Four other 24+ mpg players return
• Both of their '22 recruits stuck around, led by top-50 prospect Aidan Shaw
• FOUR additions in the transfer portal, two from Dennis Gates' previous team, Cleveland State
  • D'Moi Hodge, 15.4p, 2.2s
  • Tre Gomillion, 10.5p, 4.7r, 2.9a
    • Other transfers:
      • Noah Carter from Northern Iowa, 15p, 4.1r
      • DeAndre Gholston from Milwaukee, 14.3p, 4.4r
• Two top JUCO transfers, led by former UMass commit Sean East (9.2p, 4.4a his sophomore season when he played for Bradley.

Missouri is certainly a team to watch out in the SEC.

Huh? We have one coming in this year. But to your point Kentucky and Duke don’t need transfers. Oh wait… BTW, work till it doesn’t can also be applied to depending on young players. You need a mix. PC is still young so they added some experience. I think it’s a perfectly fine approach. But I’m biased.

Untill the Covid extra years run out, this is is a temporal market. There is an over supply of players that are demanding a limited supply of minutes. This will have a diminishing effect through the 2024 season. (I think that's that last year for Covid extra year players.) There will still be player movement but not the volume, insanity, that we have seen the last couple of years.

I believe that was Corey's Uncle, actually. Who, ironically enough, was Tate George's brother.

The uncle was supportive of Corey after the decision to transfer...but that doesn't mean he necessarily wanted him to transfer. That decision appeared to be of Corey's making.

It's too bad that things got testy with Andre recently. I was hoping CFJ might reconsider his portal decision. Now, probably not.

Yes, Eric is Corey’s uncle and Tate George’s brother. Eric is a big UConn fan (partially because of his brother) and he really wanted to see Corey play here. He was surprised by Corey’s decision to leave but obviously supports him.

Do you realize that just shy of a third of all D1 basketball players entered the portal this year? So, it's effecting every program. For better, for worse it's where we're all at.

What 4-star does Providence have coming in

Pierre is 4* by 247 itself but not by the composite.

Hope we get involved here

Didn’t we recruit him out of High School?

 

[kansashusky]

We were on him hard when he was a senior. I don't see us being that involved, but this dude is a pro and will be a very impactful transfer.

 

[BGesus4]

From Racine.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Dear lord please. Shoulda been ours outa high school.

 

[Mooch82]

Wow. The whole time I watched the NCAA tourney I was wishing we had prioritized him over Diggins. Not a great shooter but has that "it" quality.

Easily my #1 target rn if we got involved

hunter would have eaten diggins and still pooped out a better bball player

 

[Com'rGordon]

Interestingly Synergy has him evaluated as a "Below Average" Offensive Player and an "Excellent" Defensive Player. Obviously he's just a freshman but interesting to see the specifics of his game.

Is there a culture problem at Iowa State? Clearly they've lost the team /s

Literally everything works until it doesn’t, no?

Would bringing in a high level sophomore point guard go over well with Tristen Newtown and Stephon Castle?

No. That is why I don't see us persuring him. Also, the competition will be considerable.

Would they prefer we added bad players?
