2025 Portal

[NCJohnnie]

Reid Bailey is Davidson’s best player could be a decent wing off the bench for us.

 

[Marillac2]

A little Bryce Hopkins portal chatter out there about Georgetown and again St John’s reflective of Matt’s relationship with him. Early “stuff” that is always fluid though.

Fit would concern me. I'd rather get a long, versatile Aaron Scott 3 and d that can play the 4 and 3.

 

[dk423]

Damn that sucks for DePaul. I thought Blocker would be a good building block for them.

Trimble would be a fantastic fit. Awesome defense.

 

[MugCostanza]

Also Trilly told the Georgetown room to keep an eye on Isaiah Coleman from SHU as a potential Hoya next year

 

[Go Red Storm]

Names from Trilly today that are likely to hit the portal. Top end mid major players to rotational high major players:

Max Green - Holy Cross
Josh Pascarelli - Marist
Adrian Wooley - Kennesaw State
Darren Buchanan Jr - George Washington
Major Freeman - Siena
Jadon Jones - Oklahoma
AJ Storr - Kansas (Might go pro)
Caleb Foster - Duke
Rylan Griffin - Kansas
Masai Troutman - Northeastern
Seth Trimble - North Carolina
Reid Bailey - Davidson
Chris Bell - Syracuse
Layden Blocker - DePaul
Camden Heide - Purdue

Not a lot to be excited on this list other than maybe Foster and trimble

Yikes...

My Hall fan friend told me there is also chatter about Cooley being all over that Coleman kid on the Hall.

The Georgetown rumor has been around PC since early December. Hadn't heard St.Johns

 

[Anthony Mattia]

Hopkins is great, but he can't stay healthy. I'm not interested in wasting NIL funds and a roster spot on a guy that has not proven the ability to get on the floor and stay there.

They often say the best ability is availability and he does not seem to have that.

I remember there being rumors about him leaving PC for Georgetown after last season as well.

I thought the chatter was DePaul but could be wrong

Depaul too. That supposedly caused English to put out his public blast about tampering with Hopkins.

Yup. I was told the Georgetown thing is over but who knows nowadays

Well with the season he is having, AJ definitely isn’t going back to Kansas and his pro prospects have take a hit (the last few times I saw him play, they were utilizing him off the bench playing more as a undersized four but hey, the money is good).

Forster hasn’t stood out one way or the other when I’v seen Duke.

Griffen (not Griffin as listed above) is interesting but had a better year last year. He and Zuby were teammates at Kansas and might have a connection from AAU ball.

Trimble hit the portal last year and then withdrew. He would be a good get.

Bailey I’ve heard about but don’t recall seeing him play. He has nice seize (6’10”) but is more an 4 than a five but has some perimeter skills. I would have interest.

Bell hasn’t impressed me when I’ve seen him.

Blocker definitely has a good game against us earlier this year but don’t think he’s done the same against other competition.

The others on the list I haven’t seem much of or not at all.

A way to early list but provides some
click bait and discussion fodder.

 

[dk423]

Griffen was at Alabama last year, so no Zuby connection there

 

[Demo]

Gotta believe some conversations/feelers have been put out already. RP determined to recruit portal players only.

This chatter about Bryce has been going on for two years now. I know for a fact there is a major disconnect between PC staff, and the Hopkins camp dating back to November. I'd be surprised if SJU is that serious of a player here, for multiple reasons.

For the sake of the drama, I'd like to see Cooley get a win here, and see the absolute inferno of an atmosphere that would be that first game Cooley and Hopkins talk in to the AMP hand in hand.

 

[Notanalum]

Biggest recruit is RJ. Bring him back w Zuby and you have 2 all big East players

Obviously many more names to come including entire times who's coaches are "retiring"/getting fired - FSU, Indiana etc.

Good chance Griffen heads back to Alabama. Not sure why he left in the first place, their style of place is perfect for him.

Trimble will get plenty of attention but might be hard to beat hometown schools Marquette and Wisconsin.

Agreed on the rest, not much interest in them aside from depth type pieces.
