2023 Portal Transfers

[ATL MU Warrior]

Give me Tosan Evbuomwan and let's roll.

is that the Princeton guy?

Yes

[ATL MU Warrior]

Yes

Is he in the portal?  I was very impressed by him (at least relative to the other guys on Princeton).

Not yet, but he can't stay at Princeton because the Ivy doesn't allow fifth year players. He'll either go pro or grad transfer. Guessing an announcement will come soon. He also isn't a typical NIL target because it's harder to navigate for foreign players (Evbuomwan is from the UK) so it might actually be more about fit than financials.

This guy is crazy skilled for his size. Vision and 3pt shot would fit right in with our offense, though he's a bit slower than I expected once I read the Oso comp.

He would be an awesome fit on offense. I don't think he can do what Shaka wants on the defensive end. We switch on almost everything and I think he would get destroyed by Big East guards.

Drew Fielder, 6 ft 11 2023 recruit for Providence, recommitted and now onward to Georgetown. 

Kayvaun Mulready, Tre Norman teammate and MU target also the same as above.

Sounds good in theory, but let's be honest, can a guy who earned a Bachelor's Degree at Princeton honestly hope to get academically cleared to play at Marquette?

[Goose]

That big guy would not be much help on defense, but definitely can pass the ball.

Princeton is the Marquette of the east

Schedule a game or other activity in the UK and rake in the nil $$$. The F-1 visa rule don’t apply off shore.

[MuggsyB]

I'm wondering if all these FAU guys will stay there along with their coach.  They're a very young team. 

[JTJ3]

Marcus Domask in the portal.  He's easily good enough to play here, but Id assume he would go elsewhere for a bigger role.  Maybe if Omax moves on he could take that spot, although his game is very different.

Yeah......I can tell by the high level of acumen on this site.....LOL

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I am a fan of this dude.  He can play.

With O-Max and Ben on the roster, I do think targeting the better foreign nationals as transfer targets (like Evbuomwan or Khalifa) is smart.

We really have a lot to sell this year. International trip, Maui, top-10 team if the rest of the roster sticks, there's a big opportunity here.

I think MU needs to take advantage of the open scholarship for this upcoming season (rather than bank it for ‘24). I’d still love a tall 3 & D guy (so would every other program). I gave Wades credit, he’s throwing out some intriguing names that I like too.

Trust Shaka to fill the roster.

I think ideally you go with a grad transfer that opens up a scholarship next year again, or a freshman transfer that gives you 3 years & is less likely to make a second transfer under the new rules.

Somehow I missed this, but what is the international trip?  Thanks!

And will Thomas Bilde be announcing a live stream?

International trip?

Teams are eligible to go every 4 years. The last one we went on was in 2019-20 when we went to Spain and France. Smart also did these at Texas, most recently in 2017-18. Fully expect a trip this year. It allows for more practice time in summer.

I didn’t realize Fardaws Aimaq is back in the portal.
