College Basketball Transfer Portal 2024-2025

Wait, we are using stats from his Arizona days to justify what he has done at Xavier? SMH

There is no point debating this. Surprised so many people seem happy that Miller is on the beach sipping fruity drinks as the Xavier roster is a complete mess and we are coming off the worst season in recent memory that even Steele couldn’t replicate. Good to know. I won’t call you crazy but we were in the same exact position last year in the portal with the front court. We all saw the end result of that.

I won’t be responding to this anymore. I don’t want to be portrayed as a Miller hater for questioning some of the decisions he had made. Seems like legit concerns especially after last season. I want him and the program to succeed and only time will tell if that will happen.

Last year at this time we had a healthy hunter and a healing free. Situations are a bit different this year. Yes this past season was a disappointment and frustrating. However due to millers full body of work (which was my point in posting that) he receives a bit of a reprieve from me. Even if you don’t want to include that, he made a sweet 16 just two seaaons ago that with a healthy free may have been a final four team.

Trust me, if we have a second season in a row like the last one, I’ll be questioning miller and the direction of this program.

My question would be what would you have liked miller to be doing during this week that he could only be doing if he were in Cincinnati? That’s the point. There’s only so much you can do right now.

He could be in a conference room with his staff and all the scouting reports they have put together so they can create a prioritized list of which players to go after.

You think an NFL GM would be in Aruba a couple weeks before the draft?

Do you not think he has done that already? Come on.

Can he not do this while on vacation? Even when on vacation with my young kids, I’m still working in the mornings while they sleep. My guess is miller is not completely unplugged. This is 2024.

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

Ah use a personal attack while calling out to the mods. Classic.

12.50 too much for your deep pockets?

Since we are on a dead period and the coaches are on vacation. Let’s take a look at the current roster shall we?

PG McKnight: Solid point guard
SG Foster: Good transfer: Good scorer. Streaky 3 point shooter
SF Claude: Star scorer: Below Average 3 point shooter
PF Freemantle - Star if healthy: Hasn’t played in over a year. No idea if foot will hold up. Big question mark
C None on roster

Bench
PG: Green - hopefully steps up next year and is a solid backup.
SG: Powell - true freshman. Hopefully contributes like Swain last season.
SF: Swain - Hopefully is a solid 6 man for us next season.
SF/PF: Hunter - Hasn’t played in a year. No idea how much he will be able to help next season.

We currently have 6 healthy players and 2 big injury question marks on the roster. In my opinion we need a 3 point assassin for a SG/SF as well as 2 impact bigs and a rotational big for depth. Any updates on visits or making final lists of portal players. I know we made the final list for Alexis but that’s it.

The two big ones right now are Toledo guard Dante Maddox Jr. and Delaware forward Jyare Davis.

Maddox averaged 15.6PPG, 4.3RPG, 2.8APG and 1.4SPG this season. He shot 40% from 3 this year, last year he shot 45%. It’s expected he visits after the dead period. The main schools are X/Illinois/TCU/Louisville. TCU had a visit and Louisville went to see him already. His original list had Kansas and Creighton as well- but the main teams are the four mentioned above.

The staff visited Davis this past week. I don’t know as much about him. He averaged 17.1 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. Apparently it’s down to X and Syracuse.

Davis was a 1,700-point scorer at the prep level and committed to Providence ahead of offers from Miami, Florida, Virginia Tech, Rutgers and
St. John’s and Seton Hall. Suffered a concussion at Providence. Never played and left after the first year.

Maddox could solve the deep shooting need at SG. Davis has tweeter size and takes too many 3’s for a guy that hits 26%.

A big that shoots too many 3 and only makes 26% coming from a lower level conference? Is that accurate? If so, hard pass.

Who knows how Miller would use him. Everyone hated Hunter because he shot too many 3s with Steele. (Who didn’t) Sean fixed that fast and turned Hunter around. But if the plan is to bring him in to be a stretch 4, I’d say no thanks as well. Size could also be an issue, though he is taller than CJ Anderson and he worked out. As a rotational guy who knows.
