College Basketball Transfer Portal 2024-2025

Bronny to enter the portal. And the Draft, which I think is a joke. Will be interesting to see where he's ranked in the Portal, and where he lands.

just read that DUQUESNE is expected to be an option becasue LBJ played in HS with the new coach.

ON3 just added him.....listing his NIL Value at 4.9 MILLION!!!!

What a joke.

“Very little” except all the other parts of recruiting a player like that, ya know like beating out the other teams. Damn narratives.

But you be you!

AJ Storr was in the portal for like an hour. Huntley like a day. Both of these guys were top portal targets and had a destination in mind. They enter...one phone call....done.

You dont have to imagine the situation was any more complicated than that. The sheer amount of time (the lack of time) it took to consummate this commitment is the evidence. There wasnt any drawn out courtship involved.

To be clear, the guy that committed to NC State did take an official visit to them before committing. Eye on college basketball pod talked about how crazy it was NC State had to take time away from prepping for the final four to get ready and conduct this visit. I have no clue if it was a formality or what, but according to the pod the visit was scheduled and set up prior to them reaching the final four.

Per the On3 article about it“ During his time in the portal, he scheduled trips to Indiana and Pittsburgh but canceled those trips. The forward previously dropped a top schools list that included the Panthers, the Pack, UConn and Louisville.” Maybe NC State asked him to schedule, then cancel, visits to Pittsburgh and Indiana- just to mess with them?

Seems like more than a few hours but pure speculation. Don’t know how long putting all that together actually takes and then going through it.. I’m sure it would be quite the sell to have someone on campus between the elite 8 and final four game. Plus they beat out UConn, another final 4 team, who was in his final list. Good

Sounds like he is a shrewd negotiator. Create a sellers market, and land where you planned to land while getting top dollar

What do you think is opinion that I stated as fact?

Reading is hard. Try again. On second thought maybe it's best if you just let this one fade away. Quite frankly I'm a little embarrassed for you and it's making me a bit uncomfortable.

Your mom was busy.

Hey mods this crosses a line don't you think? Maybe it's time this POS takes a little break.

Worrying just for the sake of worrying. There are a ton of teams in the same boat as pointed out earlier in this thread.

Louisville has three guys on their roster. I don’t understand the daily worrying.

Some of you all need to pop a few ritalin

Maybe you need to get laid.

Your mom was busy.

This just keeps getting classier…….

I think we can do better, don’t you?

Hopefully the mods take a look at some of these post and take the necessary actions. Why any of this is appropriate when talking about the transfer portal is beyond me. Totally unnecessary and not needed here.

Nope try again.

What I said is that cohen flipped from Arkansas to usc following muss. And that relationships still matter not just nil. 100% fact.

If it’s not fact, then Xavier isn’t ever getting anyone, because x isn’t going to outbid other schools. Didn’t even outbid for olivari, so yeah relationships matter.

For those questioning why Miller would be out of the country on vacation right NOW…..

This is a “dead” period for recruiting. Coaches are not allowed to make IN-PERSON contact with recruits during this period. No in home visits, no official campus visits. HOWEVER…..they ARE allowed to txt or call recruits during this period. Recruits are allowed to visit campuses, but not “officially”. Schools can’t have coaches showing players around the school in person. But they can talk with them via the phone. This period was set up so that the coaches would feel free to attend the Final 4 without the thought that another school might be staying at home and looking to gain a recruiting advantage. This dead period ends April 11, so look for things to heat up by the end of this coming week. I’m pretty sure that Mille and the other coaches are burning up the phone lines trying to get their targets on campus starting on the 12th. And believe it or not, it is possible to make phone calls from Aruba (or so I’ve been told).

I’ve also read a report that claims that the Xavier NIL is in VERY good shape and that we shouldn’t expect it to be a reason that X might miss out on some transfers. X will be going head to head with other BE schools and heavy hitters so we shouldn’t expect 100% success, but they should be able to hold their own with just about anyone….at least as far as NIL money is concerned.

The concern that I have is that we are coming off our worst season in recent memory, our roster is a mess and our head coach has decided to take a vacation during this important period of the recruiting calendar. I highly doubt Miller’s family is going to allow him to spend a majority of his vacation on the phone talking to his coaches and transfers. It is what it is and there is no changing it now but I don’t think this is the best time to be on vacation. Not a good look on my opinion. Should have waited until after the portal to go on vacation after rebuilding a pretty depleted roster. If the NIL money is there than we should expect nothing less than a complete rebuild with several impact transfers coming in. No excuses then.
