Transfer Portal Mania

[NCJohnnie]

Like him!

Kid had apparently recently confirmed he'd be back with Gophers and Gopher nation is speculating he was lured in by NIL offer outside their budget. Looks to be a pure point guard who set all time Minnesota single season assist record and can also hit an open three.

I’m not even going to look. Got too attached to Smith.

Agreed. I think Smith is the guy you go all out for, and then find a 2-guard to complement his skill set. If we’re not full court press for Smith what are we even doing here.

 

[Marillac2]

Oh I’ll throw out two 6 foot guards as talented as that and won’t look back. We don’t have to choose.

I’ll see your two and raise you a third.

This guy slides in right behind Smith for me.

Odd his A/TO ratio blew up to 3.1 @ MN when it was 1.4/1.5 @ Howard.

Speaking of guys moving up in level. Hawkins is a kid who was able to handle the jump from Howard to the B10 overall. But his 3pt% went from 47% to 36%. Now 47% is almost impossible to keep up no matter who you are playing against, but I doubt it would have been done in a tougher league.

I know you're making a different point but another thing with Hawkins that would've looked good coming out of Howard is that the team went 11-3 in conference and 22-13 -- and then played well against Kansas.

Jackson State went 15-17 and 11-7 in conference.

That lets us out

Hey, we're good at getting guys to enter the portal!

Maybe those Howard teammates were missing fingers. Odd is right, would have never saw that coming.

We should keep doing that as eventually the big schools may finally run out of money and we can get someone

Actually, my math was bad: 2.78, but still, lol.

Get a kid like Deivon Smith (or similar) and our shooters will look pretty damn good me thinks.

I get the feeling Kadary knows exactly where he is going & won’t have a workout/tryout like our recent approach, not norm btw

 

[fordham96]

Kadary is set to graduate no?

He is not tied to the May 1 deadline if so. May 1 deadline is for undergraduates.

For the sake of our board, I hope the staff is not targeting a grad transfer. lol

 

[fordham96]

Also as a side note I think the May 1 deadline does not close the Portal.

And not just for graduate transfers (who have no deadline).

The May 1 deadline is for undergraduate transfers who want to be IMMEDIATELY eligible.

I believe you can still enter Portal after May 1 as an undergrad you just have to sit a year.

 

[dk423]

Nice get, hopefully eats up some of their NIL

Trilly says regarding Hawkins from Minnesota that the Minn staff gave him 250k to come back and he said no. Not sure if that means 250 more or 250 total lol.

 

[paultzman]

As expected

Someone who averages that many assists in a big conference probably deserves a raise. Either someone got in his ear or he's following Trilly and seeing kids with less talent making comparable money.
