2021 Transfer Portal

[Big Papi]

If the staff is pursuing/offering guards, would that be an indication current guards on the roster are not going to be here. If not, then will there be perception some are being over recruited and say bye-bye.

Currently Carton, Torrence, Akanno, Elliott, Mitchell, Jones.  That's six, add another and that's seven guards.

Akanno's minutes dropped from little to zero as injuries piled up.  Have to think he is gone.

Unless he was suffering long term COVID after effects.  Was that a factor for him?

[Boone]

Guessing Perez and Torrence are also history. In true Wojo fashion, he'll plug the leaks with yet another untalented transfer and a freshman and call it a day on 2021-22's roster. Nearly half of the 11-man team (8, at most, will be in the rotation) will be inexperienced newcomers (more than half, if you include the Ighodaro Project). Depressing.

I'd guess Sy and Dex both stay.

[Silent Verbal]

I'd guess Sy and Dex both stay.

I can't think of any possible scenario where either *would* stay.  Neither is from anywhere remotely close to MKE.  Sy is a low major player.  I'm not sure Akanno is a D1 player.

From what I've heard Sy likes it here and we are in desperate need if ball handlers. He won't be "cut".

Dexter I'm less sure about but my gut says he'll give it another go after his covid bout, thinking he can bounce back.

He may like it but will he like it enough should Wojo say "you're never going to play meaningful minutes here?"

[BM1090]

No idea.

But we lose Koby. We are bringing in maybe one guard who is ready for minutes in Mitchell. Sy will continue to play.

[The Sultan]

He may like it but will he like it enough should Wojo say "you're never going to play meaningful minutes here?"

Why would Wojo say that?  How would he know that?  Players work and they improve.  As long as he is honest with him about what he has to work on and how that would translate to playing time should he improves on those things, that's all he can really say.

[MU82]

wouldn't count on wojo developing a freshman. That's likely all on Mitchell

Yeah. Howard, both Hausers, Ellenson, Cheatham, Garcia, Lewis ... they all SUCKED as freshmen!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

My current guess is that 2/4 of Jose, Sy, DeX, and Greg leave. Not sure which ones. The others will stay after the other 2 transfer because they see minutes opening up

[4everwarriors]

Chit, dis teem iz gonna suck donkey dung unless wee get a koach hoo nos watt hees doin', hey?

[Boone]

82,

You seem to have misread my post. Didn't claim that Mitchell would suck. Far from it. Just that it's debatable that Wojo has the ability to develop him much in a year. Big difference.

I want Wojo gone, but I'm not one to blame him for everything bad and give him zero credit for anything good.

Plenty of players, even freshmen, have "developed" during Wojo's 7 seasons. I know the angriest NoJos will say every single case was despite Wojo. I happen to disagree.

So much to criticize him for, I don't like doing it when I think it's not really deserved.

Obviously, you're free to disagree.

[Boone]

And I will. But I never claimed Mitchell would suck. That was you using hyperbole.

Greg doesn't need any of them to leave for minutes to open up. So if he left, hes leaving regardless of who else does.

[SaveOD238]

I don't get the Symir hate on here.  He's probably the closest to a "true point guard" so many people are clamoring for.  Sure his shooting was abysmal this year, but it was better last year.  His A/T ratio is nearly 2:1 (DJ's was 1:1).

I'll take Symir for most improved player in 21/22.

True,  I shouldn't have applied the second part to Greg

[nyg]

Cam'ron Fletcher, Kentucky, 6ft7 SF leaving.  From St. Louis, MU had offered the 2020 top 50 recruit. 

[Uncle Rico]

Storm Murphy didn't waste anytime.  Committed to VaTech

[panda]

I would think VA Tech is leader in the clubhouse with Murphy.

Bump

First offseason transfer out of the Big East belongs to Providence. Greg Gantt Jr. He wasn't a consistent starter for them but he got starter level minutes. They better hope Duke doesn't decide to try his luck in the NBA draft or they could be below DePaul next season.

They'll still probably split with us though, hey?

Vermont transfer Stef Smith has heard from Providence, UConn, St. John's, Marquette, Nebraska, Colorado St., Arkansas, Florida, Santa Clara, St. Mary's, Mississippi St., Northeastern, UTSA, Washington St., Loyola Marymount and UNCG, per his AAU coach. Two-time All-America East.

Sharpshooting 2G from Vermont. Career 39% 3P shooter. Was very good as a junior, had a bit of an off year as a senior but still was 2nd team all-conference in the AE. Some history with MU, as a FR he hung 20 points on us. Like him better than Daye Jr but not as much as Jamison Battle.
