2023 Portal Transfers

nah, analytics say he sucks...

You mean he didn’t have excellent numbers as a freshman playing on a bad team with a bunch of chuckers who quit on their coach ?

HE STINKS ! Not debatable

AJ Storr to Madison.

Pretty huge pickup.

The Gard apologists are happy about this one:

Definitely have upgraded their depth the last week or so. They needed to as they did not have a single high major player on their bench last year.

Evan Flood ripped on Gard haters when Matthew Mors committed

It definitely is a weird fit. Good for gard but I’m not sure why he would want to play for wisocnsin

Probably told him they could turn him into Johnny Davis……..

I don't get it either, they have a nice roster now with the 2 transfer additions...hopefully it is good enough in the eyes of the university to extend Gard 😅

[MuMark]

Here’s what he said….. https://twitter.com/evan_flood/status/1646668610230730752?s=61&t=synH6Ej2DjQwvTwk4mr1iA

Plus he’s from Rockford……so his family can see every home game.

He didn't play well and the chuckers played better than he did on that team. I wouldn't want him at MU.

If you want hope for him, Kam Jones played poorly as a freshman too.

He might be great on a new team.  But he played poorly last year. Seems like a solid reason not to want a player.

Actually watching him play, you can very easily see he’s a multi faceted scorer. Can make a play off the bounce going left or right, smart player who doesn’t turn the ball over. Effective with the the dribble.

Was much improved as the season went on and he earned more minutes.

Don’t disagree.  He’s just miscast at UW-Madison.

Totally - great get for the badgers but it’s my tenth choice if I’m the kid.

[BCHoopster]

Great pick-up because he can change the type of recruit Wisky has been getting.  They will be much improved from last year.  Storr can create his own shot.

He did play more. But, he is a "multi faceted scorer", who couldn't finish plays at the rim all year. Mathias, Pinzon, and Curbello were injured at the end of the year. Calling his minutes "earned" is strange framing.

I'm not sure i saw massive levels of improvement, part of that is just the fact he played well in limited minutes at the beginning of the year and then tailed off when he played more minutes against good teams. (at least from an offensive perspective.) He just had better individual games in non con and earlier in conference play than he did at the end of conference play.

I think he'll be Wisconsin's 3rd best wing player. I think its an alright pickup for them. The less they play Gilmore and the backup guard the better.

I wouldn't have wanted him at Marquette.  He is worse than Stevie, Kam, Chase, and the potential of Tre and Zaide.

He’ll get benched creating his own shot

He’s a weak player at the rim? Are we talking about the same player? Did you watch him at all ?

Storr was a four star top 100 highly sought after guy out of high school, transfers and then is once again a highly sought after high major guy.

He’s a talented player that was stuck on a really, really bad team.

[wadesworld]

Hope he does just well enough for UW to keep Gard around.

Would be kinda nice to beat Wisconsin this year. They’ve improved. Damn.

Wisky and Mich St. have bigs, Shaka needs to find some muscle.  This is why they both beat MU!  You going to have Chase Ross or Gold defend Wahl?

1. UConn had the best big in the BE, as well as a 7-foot backup, yet somehow Marquette beat them twice. Plus, wins over Creighton, Xavier, Providence, St. John’s and several other teams with quality bigs.

2. Wahl isn’t very good.

[BCHoopster]

So you think MU does not need to add another player?

[The Thing]

I just want Marquette to beat any and every Big10 team they face next year!

[PointWarrior]

I will settle for just beating bucky

Wisconsin didn't beat Marquette because of their bigs, they did it because of insanely lucky shot making. Play that game 10 times, we win 9. But sometimes a dog has his day.

[MU82]

So you think MU does not need to add another player?

I didn't say that. I simply refuted your assertion that we lost to Madison and Michigan State because their bigs were better than ours.

We lost to Madison mostly because their decent-but-hardly-great PG had the game of his life. We lost to Michigan State mostly because our All-American PG played about as bad as he could have played.

I already have said that to be the team all the prognosticators think we'll be in 2023-24, we need either O-Max to stay or Shaka to replace him with somebody who can do most of the things he does.

I've also said that it would be great if Shaka could add a Jayce Johnson type of big (or an even better big) to back up Oso, while acknowledging that finding such a player and convincing him to go to MU when he'd only play 10-20 mpg won't be easy.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Scoop has taught me that we need two things to win more games...

1. Aircraft carriers. A big ass back to the basket center who sits in the lane.

2. Mid-range jumpers. Lots of them.
