2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal

[X-band '01]

Does anyone else think Freemantle could end up with Pitino at St. John's? Close to home, bright lights, MSG home games. Seems like something Mom & Dad would prefer.

I think anything with free is on the table, but pitino likes players that actually play defense. Free from the outside seems like someone who likes to be coddled.. pitino isn’t going to put up with that bs either

Or he could go back across the Hudson over to Seton Hall.

Actually, that would be the Raritan River.

Not sure if it was mentioned here…

I see that Primo Spears and Posh Alexander have entered the portal. It appears X has shown interest (at least in Spears). I think either (or both) would be nice to get.

I'll start by noting that every player has strengths and weaknesses. That said, my concern with Spears is that he needs to have the ball and he shoots a lot. Now that may be a reflection on his teammates at GT but I have a difficult time seeing him operate successfully in an offense built around sharing the ball and generating assists.

Alexander is a ball hawking point guard. I think he led the conference in steals-----or was close to leading. Offensively, he reminds me of Odom. He can penetrate and dish but cannot shoot the three.

I watched this guy at Wofford for a few years. He's a wide body in the Charles Barkley mode.
Probably too late for him (Michigan is calling) but he has some nice words about X:

So what’s your take on this? Will this be the future or college bball or does it die down slightly as we get through a cycle. Only being allowed to transfer once will eventually slow it down slightly,

But I think keeping 4-6 rotational players is the key. The new “core” might just be 4 guys. Maybe 3? Just going to be interesting how it goes Over next 5 years

My belief is that it will not slow down for some while, if ever. Moving from school to school is already prevalent at the HS level for lots of kids. Doing the same at the college level won’t be seen as abnormal. The introduction of social media and instant messaging into our society, along with live streaming of local events around the world, has made it easier for someone to leave “home” and still be able to maintain contacts in real time. If anything, we are becoming a more transitory society where “community” is not based upon where one lives, but is more based on who one associates or identifies with through social media. All of this makes it easier for someone to physically move from place to place and not get “home sick”. Kids are used to playing on all-star traveling teams where the members come from many different schools or communities. Situations where kids grow up playing all different levels with the same group of kids from their neighborhood or town from grade school to high school and beyond are a thing of the past for most kids. There is no loyalty to old State U anymore. It more about what’s in it for ME. Generation Z is really Generation ME.

ON3 has Graham Ike to Colorado 100%. He's from Colorado. They also have Kriisa to WVU or Nebraska for some reason.

We will see about ike, would love to get him. Kerr to me if he comes here, great but x is on guys that are just as good or imo better than him.

All in all I trust that miller is going to get some dudes.. would love Ike though… those guys don’t come around much
