College Basketball Transfer Portal 2024-2025

Maybe XuperMAGA should convince Travis Steele to go after him and bring him to Mother Miami. That's a fair skill level.

BTW,
Don't ever link me with MAGA. I am a Constitutional Conservative. DJT is an absolute embarrassment, but his policies are this Country's only hope to avoid an apparent shift to US socialism..... or WORSE.

RFK doesn’t give you hope as a third option?

I will answer on the Politics thread.

open court layup on this one....

NCST signed the #24 ranked transfer from a conference rival that they played TWICE this year. Huntley put up 30 pts, 17 rebs, 5 assist, 2 blocks and 2 steals against NCST. Coming out of High School, the kid was ranked #24 in the country, #7 at his position, and #1 in his state (Pennsylvania).

I can only IMAGINE the number of hours it took for them to find this guy.

Still completely ignoring the other half of the process. Dense on purpose or just dense?

Maybe Izzo is the only coach out there not working the portal during the tournament. that could be the key to making 8 Final Fours.

Well they MSU has ZERO Final 4's since NIL......sooooooo.....

Been out of the 1st weekend once in 3 years since NIL, same as Xavier.

Izzo might want to start caring about the portal.

No one post more here

You realize there is literally a way to fact check this right?

[D-West & PO-Z]

As for Steele vs miller, miller has earned the right to receive the benefit of the doubt. When he fails to go to 4 straight tournaments at Xavier, then I guess that benefit of the doubt will go away.

How the hell this needs to be stated is beyond me but spot on. Comparing Miller to Steele in any scenario makes zero sense.

[D-West & PO-Z]

What has Miller done to deserve the benefit of the doubt?

Is this a serious question? His resume speaks for itself, even at Xavier the 1st time. In each of his 2 offseasons he has brought in one of the best transfers into the BE each year from the portal.

Deep breaths.

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

Before it was determined that Zach and Jerome couldnÂ’t play this past season, I think some of us wondered why Abou (backed up by Kachi) seemed like it was going to be enough at the 5 (unless Sean was counting on Zach playing a bit at the 5). After Free and Hunter were no longer available, I thought Sasa and Lazar were intriguing last minute pick ups and that might be able to play at a bit higher level than they did. Still we have to remember that they are Freshman thrown into to play at the BE level. . So while they didnÂ’t come come along a little faster than we all hoped this season. I thought maybe holding on to one of them he felt was most promising would have made sense. I think most of us are a little surprised that all four of them (Lazar, Sasa, Abou, and Kachi) are in the portal.

Like I alluded to in my previous post, it just doesnÂ’t make sense unless Sean knows Freemantle and Hunter are going to play next seasonÂ…

AND

a) Sean let the other centers on the team know his plan is to get another center who can play at a higher level than anything he saw this season and it might mean less playing time if none of them can improve next season.

b) the current Cs/PFs all left because they felt Sean did not praise them enough (this feels less likely).

c) Sean has a center pretty much locked up (maybe another international player who we are unaware of) that he knows will produce at a higher level next season.

Isn't it correct that a player who enters the portal, can come back to his school (assuming the school wants him back)?

Suspect this is old school thought, but in this NIL/portal era, if a player goes into the portal it would seem he is:
1 - looking for more playing time, maybe at a 'better' location
2 - stepping down because he realizes he can play more at a lower lever instead of riding the pine/waiting to improve
3 - can get more NIL $ from another school

If he comes back to his original school (and they take him) I can't imagine what that does to team chemistry...if that exists anymore.
It would mean one of the 3 things didn't work out; but he didn't want to remain at his first school.
So much for the name on the front of the jersey.
