College Basketball Transfer Portal 2024-2025

It just wouldn’t make sense that Sean would let every big who played for him this past season move on unless he had a pretty damn good idea he’d have improved replacements in addition to Free and Hunter for next season. Those two will be awesome to have, if both can stay healthy and get back to playing at the level they took their game to last season.

Still, I can not believe Sean and staff won’t have proper coverage this time around in case they Zach and Jerome can’t go. Also, the X coaches know they badly need to have multiple proven 3 points shooters and they must get an upgrade at center.

So I’m just going to believe Sean has this figured out. For all we know, Sean is in Aruba celebrating the new center, forward, and sharp shooter he’s already secretly locked up.

Hope you are right. He didn’t have it figured out last offseason with a starting 5.

I guess my default position is in line with your first two paragraphs. Not sure he has it figured out but since I believe we have the right guy guiding the program, I trust he will. Grad80 tells us that Miller has a system in place to recruit the portal and that makes sense to me. I do wonder if he will make changes to his recruiting strategy, going forward, to either take better advantage of the portal or to minimize the disruption it causes to the program.

As far as whether or not our coach took some vacation time, cannot wait to get the discussion back to more relevant topics. These days you can do your job from a beach, a hotel room or an office and nobody at the other end of the phone knows the difference.

To those confidently asserting, “Cool it! Sean and his coaching staff have everything under control. They’ll leverage this year’s transfer portal to construct a team capable of contending in the Big East,” I say I hope so , we can’t fail.
Last year’s roster was, by many accounts, the weakest in two decades. This disappointment extends beyond a single season; it’s a culmination of years of underperformance. Yes, 2023 was a bright spot—Miller inherited a robust roster from Steele, made a strategic addition, and secured a coveted tournament spot. However, that achievement was overshadowed by the past season, where Miller stood on his own.
Step back and view the upcoming season in context. Xavier’s recent track record includes five lackluster years out of the last six. It’s not merely about having a good year; it’s about altering the program’s trajectory. Look at Georgetown. They have a huge donor base across its undergraduate, law, medical, and Foreign Service Schools—a multiple of what other Big East institutions can claim. And yet, they find themselves stuck in a 10 year slide to oblivion. Tell me when they are going to get back to the top of the Big East. . If Xavier were to endure another four years mirroring the recent five, it will join them. . So the anxiety trancends concern about next year’s wins and losses; it’s about safeguarding the program’s long-term reputation and recruitment prospects.
We hope Sean can turn the tide, not just for a single season, but for the program’s legacy

The roster was not a great one when Sean took over. Sean did a very good job fixing habits and getting the most of it.

1) No one liked Hunter. Fans groaned whenever he shot. He never used his size and mostly shot away from the basket. People wanted him gone. Miller completely changed him and gave him a role. Hunter even praised him for giving him a role he could embrace and excel at. Reminded me a sped up version of Farrs transformation at X

2) Kunkel was a good piece to fit his role in the team. If we brought in a player of that talent, on its own, wouldn’t be a big get now unless he was coming off the bench.

3)Zach was great, we beat the champs twice with him healthy. He was out from mid January on. Most important part of the year.

4)Nunge was great. Obviously

5) Sean gave Colby the confidence and he improved greatly over the summer. He probably would’ve done that regardless, though.

We had nothing else.


It was a good team that never accomplished anything before Sean. He got the most out of it with his scheme. As for worst roster in two decades, I’d argue if you took two best players off any X team in the last 20 years it would be comparable, if not better. You can be critical of Sean but be honest about it. Everyone agrees it’s a tournament team if they were healthy. That’s why I give it a slight pass but need a good season coming up before raising my eyebrows and being concerned

They didn’t accomplish anything because Steele was a very poor coach. The talent was definitely there for sure and bringing in Boum certainly complemented the team really well. Hopefully Miller can restock the program back to the glory days.

“Nil wasn’t put in place so the schools with the most money could get the best players. But, if you want to be honest, that was happening before.”

Mic drop.

Remember we are supposed to believe everything coaches say hett or is that only for coaches that support your nonsense narrative about everything nil?
