Transfer Portal Mania

[paultzman]

I think I mentioned him last fall, but as a total shot in the dark.

-- #11 player in HS last year.

Seems in the mix, but rumors abound

 

[paultzman]

Xavier Booker is a kid to keep an eye on

Go for substance and fit v “glitz”

Matta did that and take a look at production from Telford and few others.

Funny you bring up Butler since their top transfer was a bench player at Michigan State.

Upside looks insane, but IMHO if Booker isn't buying into Izzo's coaching style it's not a great sign that he'd buy into Pitino's.

2.75 -3M is range for coming season being rumored, we’ll see.

I also expect that DePaul number to rise if they make the right hire

$3 million averaged over 10 players = $300k per player, but the starters presumably get a higher proportion. That's a nice payday.

Not sure if anybody posted it already, but here is the potential movers list as per Trilly. Some absolutely massive names on this list already and this is just a fraction of what will actually be available.

Potential Portal List (subject to change)

• Brandon Gardner (USC)
• Dylan Cardwell (Auburn)
• KD Johnson (Auburn)
• Devin Askew (Cal)
• Pop Isaacs (Texas Tech)
• Kerwin Walton (Texas Tech)
• Chris Lockett (Boise State)
• Jaden Schutt (Duke)
• Matt Cross (UMass)
• Jordan Pope (Oregon State)
• Danny Wolf (Yale)
• TJ Power (Duke)
• Zeke Mayo (South Dakota State)
• Terrence Edwards (James Madison)
• Michael Eley (Siena)
• Wade Taylor IV (Texas A&M)
• Nolan Hickman (Gonzaga)
• Zhuric Phelps (SMU)
• Langston Love (Baylor)
• Chris Johnson (Texas)
• Baye Fall (Arkansas)
• Lee Dort (Vandy)
• Trazerian White (UNC Wilmington)
• Terrance Arceneaux (Houston)
• Connor Essegian (Wisconsin)
• Rubin Jones (North Texas)
• Chaunce Jenkins (Old Dominion)
• Brandon Huntley-Hatfield (Louisville)
• Donovan Dent (New Mexico)
• Dug McDaniel (Michigan)
• Ezra Ausar (East Carolina)
• Achor Achor (Samford)
• CJ Gunn (Indiana)
• Tarris Reed (Michigan)
• Judah Mintz (Syracuse)
• Erik Reynolds (St. Joe’s)
• Khalil Brantley (La Salle)
• Brandon Angel (Stanford)
• Vasean Allete (Old Dominion)
• Riley Kugel (Florida)
• JaKobe Coles (TCU)
• Alston Mason (Missouri State)
• Xavier Booker (Michigan State)
• Ugonna Onyenso (Kentucky)
• Amari Williams (Drexel)
• Jonathan Mogbo (San Francisco)
• Will Tschetter (Michigan)
• Jalen Blackmon (Stetson)
• Jonathan Beagle (Albany)
• Layden Blocker (Arkansas)
• AJ Hoggard (Michigan State)
• Bruce Thornton (Ohio State)

it's been said the staff thought they had Onyenso from Kentucky locked up for the Zuby role and that he was forced to enter the portal by his handlers who wanted him here but he eventually made the final call to stay at UK. He's going to be absolute monster. Missed the first month of the season due to injury but has games of 8 blocks and 10 blocks already this year both against solid SEC teams. Trilly said he's going to the highest bidder.

As has been mentioned already, Trilly did mention us as a potential suitor for Jordan Pope but only that we're likely to get involved and that he'd have a ton of options.

We should be all in on the Yale kid.

I think one thing Rick and staff learned this year, is that offensive production is something where you never know if its gonna translate. Don't get hung up on PPG, instead make sure you are getting players who are all true two way guys. That's the way to win in CBB imo. Offense comes and goes in college, but if we can always put 5 out there who can guard multiple guards/wings, we are going to be able to compete and win. This doesn't mean totally ignore offense but strike a better balance.

This is why Zuby is such a key piece. We already have a defensive center who can switch onto wings and hold his own. Get players in the other 4 positions that are quick/athletic and tough. One thing this year has taught me, is we need the personnel to match Rick's playstyle. Marillac has hit on this a couple times recently, but we need to be a high flying/up and down team next year.

I also feel like because he took over so late in the game, he didn't have a chance to establish relationships and fully evaluate some of the kids before hand, so he sort of grabbed who he could get hoping it would translate at this level. This year hoping he is way ahead of the game and not only knows exactly what he's looking for, but has the time to identify it.

I don't know much, but I can assure you Dug McDaniel isn't intimidated by the bright lights of MSG.

Add Hofstra's Darlinstone Dubar to the likely transfer list. Scored 23 points on us and has his covid year left. From Charlotte and the Carolina schools are expected to get involved

Good outside shooter but not a physical player or defensive ace. The team revolves around Tyler Thomas, an incredible volume scorer not afraid to take big shots.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Not enough to buy a family of 4 hotdogs at Portillo's though

 

[L J S A]

I've been wondering for a while whether Khalil Brantley would be looking to make a move.

Not sure what his level is. Being an inefficient high volume guard on a bad mid major team might be his calling. A bit of a Mikey Dixon type

Matt A is way ahead of the game. All is well even though I am thoroughly disappointed and frustrated by this season.

 

[redmen4life]

this interview drives me crazy.

pitino has clearly recognized for a long time that the system he's been trying to implement is not a fit for this current team. yet, he keeps forcing it expecting a different outcome. it absolutely doesn't make sense. i would've thought someone of his experience would have more tools in his bag.

as far as relevancy for this thread, he does say that next year we'll have athletes that will be a much better fit. i'm hopeful next year will be better.

Maybe he is sticking with it so that the kids that Stay... are familiar with it for next year...
