Transfer Portal

Kentucky shooter CJ Frederick also popping into the portal. USC freshman starter guard/wing Tre White entered earlier this week.

This pretty much explains why Pitino purged the Curbelo, Posh, Wusu and Jones roster. The chemistry was bad and, by comments made by Pitino, there was an issue with the culture. We certainly had the talent when you add Storr to the above group and it was enough to beat some good teams but not consistently.

Also explains the addition of three Iona kids and two seemingly very coachable players in Alleyne and Sean.

Now he needs to add a couple of complimentary front court players to Soriano and another guard with skills.
 
He is not leaving Kentucky to come off the bench here

He didn’t start at Kentucky either. He could be a four here. He lost his father before or early in the season when he came to Kentucky to visit. He might want to go back home to Texas.

He’d be our starting PF.
I agree but the OP I quoted said "Could make some sense as a target here as somebody that can provide some big depth in year one while Pitino can try to develop that 5 star potential into a starting role post Soriano"

He is not coming here to be a depth piece. That was the point I was trying to make
 
I think this should be retitled to transfer revolving door. I understand every major school has players in it except Duke and UCLA--I guess their pay rates are already satisfying their players.

Agreed. Also the year he and Bryce were both frosh they have very similar stats. Collins shooting %s were better but he seems to be exclusively an inside player, only taken 1 3 in his career. His numbers were down as a soph in %. Kentucky is a crowded roster. That said no indication that he's a possibility yet.

We have 3 Texans on the team already. One more and it would feel like home to Daimion.
Let's see if Rick reaches out.

Exactly! Nobody going to pick up Curbelo, Jones may have a chance. Nobody has picked up Posh, which is probably why the rumors of him returning are out there. If he was that great he would of been committeed already. Maybe there is more out there that we DONT KNOW. All we know is Posh was offered to come back and he declined. Would love to see him back, rumor mill based off his one tweet about missing it .
 


Rumors of Pac-12 freshman of year at PF going into portal (already declared for draft). Obviously would be another huge development. Slater had a tweet that seemed to indicate something was up.
 
From Zach, we know all this, lol.
Sorry IF:

Monster week on tap for St. John's. Hosting four-star wing Brady Dunlap and UMass transfer RJ Luis starting tomorrow. Niagara transfer Noah Thomasson begins his official visit Tuesday. Three-star recruit Spencer Mahoney and Oregon State transfer Glenn Thomas Jr. also slated to visit during week. Rick Pitino will be featured on the Knicks pre-game show on MSG tomorrow and will be at the Knicks' playoff game as well.
