Transfer Thread - May

[MJ1]

Creighton lands 247- 4 star Arthur Kaluma, was a UNLV commit before coach was let go. 6 foot 8 forward with 7.1 wingspan.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Really interesting article detailing Musselman's transfer recruiting process.

The Muss Bus is loaded again with transfers, which means Arkansas is ready to roll

The staff has a system for rating potential fits, and 71 players made the cut this spring.

Speaking of the SEC, Georgia's Sahvir Wheeler (14p, 7.4a, 1.7s) committed to Kentucky. In the last two months, the team went from "who's a guard on this team", to adding Wheeler, Grady and Frederick in the portal and TyTy Washington as a '21 committ.

Curious how Coach K will manage PT between Washington, Wheeler and Grady.

I'm also curious as to how Coach K will manage Kentucky's minutes.

That was quick

That was quick

Something tell$ me it was one of those pre-arranged deals.

 

[Storrs South]

UConn --> New Mexico --> Arkansas --> ???

On a serious note, good for him that he can get a bachelors and masters with$0 debt and not a penny spent

 

[Hey Adrien!]

School #4 and year #7 in college/grad school.

14.3p, 39 3p% at Iowa State last year. Good Agbaji insurance.

Package deal with Gilbert?

Bobby Hurley has done well picking up transfers, but it feels like he’s lost a ton of his key pieces. I wonder what the hell happened over there. Obviously an underperformance this year, but still feels odd to me that a lot of his players are leaving.

Nevermind. I guess according to this tweet a lot of the people leaving have already been replaced and are older. Not as strange as I thought.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Sounds like what we need.

Johnson to Kent State. Solid program within the MAC.

[ktuck911]

Ummm ... that was fast....

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Not surprised.

Since Bramah committed, Kimami Lawrence, Arizona's last year starter at the 4, returned for a fifth year. Last week, the team also added former top-50 recruit Alonzo Gaffney, who's listed at 6'9 200.

He'd be certainly playing a backup role in Tempe.

 

[Pudge]

there's a generational family difference between Musselman and the Hurley's (and Calhoun)

Musselman's Dad was a minor league hoop coach in the 80's Extreme transactional flavor. Different lineups several times a week; several rosters a month. Nothing phased him ... and he thrived: coached hard and won. The OLD school - former high school thinking - wanted development and valued relationships + growth through practice with your guys. Used the term ... teaching. So, Calhoun (and I'm certain Bob Hurley) would state loudly to be careful of these kids bouncing around.

They should go all in and remove the cameras as well. What's next, firing the stats keepers?

One thing I've learned this offseason is it's best to ignore anything Rothstein says when it relates to transfers

 

[freescooter]

Not sure I heard this right but I thought I heard something like 400 players in the portal ended up with no place to go. Nobody recruited them and their former teams already replaced them. Plus another 100 or so ended up moving down several levels below where they thought/planned to be. Has anybody heard this? Anybody looked at this free agency model?

My guess: Many of those are graduates who’ll just, you know, actually graduate.

I'm not sold on JUCO being a good option for recruits. Seems like 90% of the top jucos end up being meh at best when they move up. I think teams just like that they're low risk because they only take a scholly for 2 years

Could be. Though I wouldn’t assume they will graduate given the history of college basketball in recent years. This was the first year every school graduated 50% of its players per the grad rate calculation (not the more bogus apr)

I agree. I’m curious to see how El Ellis pans out at Louisville this coming season.

 

[husky429]

I'm gonna call myself correct on the JUCO stuff.... Seems like we're rolling at maybe a 60% hit rate on guys that could contribute at our level. And about 40% of them were starting caliber. 6-8 were in the range of being really good, maybe a number 1-3 option on a top-25 team.

2020 JUCO BASKETBALL RANKINGS (via 247 - only those that went high-major)

included there best season if there were 2.

Highlights those that scored in double digits, or were by the numbers looking like starting caliber players

Me too. They also bring in Noah Locke and Jarrod West. No matter what, he should get at least 20 mpg.
