2023 Portal Transfers

[Hards Alumni]

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.

Incredible analysis by our fellow scoopers.  What we need to do in 2023 is to play that old school ball from the 70s - 90s era.

Maybe we can set up the triangle offense as our next suggestion.

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.

Chucky had a day. But, playing in front of the Dane County freaks is always a 50/50 deal. We’re due to smoke em…and our roster is better top to bottom, but I’ll still be downing triple strength alka seltzers and staying away from sharp objects until our win is secured. Embrace the hate!

Imagine an aircraft carrier with a mid-range jumper!

YES!  Even better if he played below the rim. A modern day Carlos Boozer.

[Jay Bee]

and our roster is better top to bottom

Except AJ Storr is tha god

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

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.

Eh, I think its worth a shot for them because I can see why people think he'd have upside. I can see why a 6'6" scorer would fit their system well.  I can also see why he might be better playing in a more disciplined system than what he had at SJU.

It may not work, but IMO it's worth the risk to see.

Bring back Davante Gardner

[Tha Hound]

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?

hahahahahahahhaahha

I may have missed but here but I see a note from the Hartford Courant that Nahiem Alleyne from UConn is in the transfer portal.

Kicked him out so Castle starts, can't force Diarra to transfer as he'd need a waiver, and wouldn't get it.

[GoldenEagles03]

Ooooooo. This one intrigues me.

A great talent at the 4 that may be willing to split time since he is coming off an injury that kept him out all season.

I hope we reach out. Basically 8 points and 8 rebounds a night in 2021-2022 for the Hall.

Plus he's 24 years old and would open up a spot right away after the season.

O'Mar Stanley in the portal from St. John's.

I'd take him just to have an O'Mar, OMax, and Oso.

Confirmation that Marquette actually did reach out to O'Mar Stanley of St. Johns per O'Mar himself on his interview this morning after his commitment to Boise St.

Would have been an awesome addition. Maybe Kolek's comment to him at the free throw line steered him a different direction.

Perfectly acceptable answer. Take advantage of your opportunities, rather than being taken advantage of.

Yes, the sweater vests have been jonesing for a barrage of 17' jumpers.  Better yet, set shots!

[GoldenDieners32]

Wouldn't mind Yetna from Seton hall

As long as it isn't Markus shooting them.

this NIL thing, although as free market as you can get, is going to challenge college basketball like no other.  i believe there will have to be some rules changes along the way.  think of it as "free agents"  when a school takes on a player, they make an investment in more ways than one. 

  i just hope it doesn't ruin the spirit of college ball.  will the players be playing for themselves or the team.  i think shaka will be able to navigate these waters just fine.  he seems to have full control and believes in the product he is offering.  he is one of a few who will command respect for the college game.  he portrays what the real symbiotic relationship needs to be in order to garner success

  marquette provides a vital scenario with its academic environment and rich history with ncaa b-ball.

  shaka has the charisma to get the players he wants and seems to define their roles well.  case in point-he reigned in kam, developed TK, and get's everyone on the same page unlike someone else we knew shaka gets more done without all the pomp and circumstance

  the team concept is well established

just like so many rich traditions, this one being in it's infant stages, will need to be tweaked along the way

College athletes are the only people incapable of getting paid for their work and doing what's best for the team/company

And can’t be considered employees either.

Don’t forget high school athletes and grammar school athletes.

[WhiteTrash]

Don’t forget high school athletes and grammar school athletes.

High school and grammar school kids are paid?

[jfp61]

High school and grammar school kids are paid?

High school kids are if you think about it, overtime elite and some prep schools.

[Scoop Snoop]

When are scoopers going to start getting paid for all their advice and expert analysis?
