2021 Transfer Portal

[Uncle Rico]

Starting to see guys move into the portal
already so let’s get the ball rolling here.  Assume this will be a lengthy list by April 30.

Pitt lost Xavier Johnson and Au’diese Toney the last few days, 2 of their 3 leading scorers.

I'm in Pittsburgh, and what remains of the Pitt fanbase is understandably very concerned with what's going on under Capel.  It's not as if there's hotshot recruits coming in to steal time from these two next year.  Imagine what we'd be feeling if Carton and Garcia both jumped ship now, with games still to be played.

Part of me thinks that it's not necessarily personal toward Capel, but Johnson and Toney are just getting a jump on the competition before the transfer floodgates open at the end of the season.   Johnson has a Dominic James-like story - his freshman year easily his best, to the point where he probably could have been drafted.  It's been downhill from there, so it's probably a good idea to start fresh (and get his name back out there) if he's going to get a chance again.  Toney is 6'6" and an elite defender, so he could make some noise in next year's draft too - it'll be easier to do that outside of a lower tier ACC team.

This could end up being a very long thread.

I'd have to imagine MU and UW would be very interested-

BREAKING: Wofford’s Storm Murphy has entered the transfer portal, per a source close to the portal.

The 6-foot senior guard averaged 17.8 points and 4.3 assists this past season.

I'd have questions about his defense, but yeah, I assume both MU and UW would be interested in a career 42% 3P shooter from their backyard.

[TedBaxter]

Battle leaving George Washington.  17 points and 5 rebounds this year.  Played high school at DeLaSalle in Minneapolis after playing for an MU alum at Benilde St. Margaret's early in high school.

Looks pretty solid, good shooter, smart, both schools should look and take him ASAP, quick release nice jumper

I may not have this right, but I believe his uncle played basketball with Greg Gard at Platteville.

They have 2 freshman points coming in, they should sign him tomorrow

Trice and Davison will probably be back to form the Geriatrtic Back Court

[Warrior of Law]

Trice is a really good player, so I am happy to see him move on.  They can keep Davison on the roster as long as possible, particularly because the B14 refs obviously hate him

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

Marquette has reached out, plus several others.

Im not convinced he would be a starter at the high major level,  but he brings a needed killset at a position that we need help at next season. Probably the best fit for our needs on the transfer portal so far besides burnett and maybe Toney

Apparently Wojo will be out for blood.

Gonna play volleyball, too?

[tower912]

Long range sniper.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Ha. I guess I just want a player with a killer instinct

[WarriorPride68]

Agreed. seems like a VT / UW battle. Madison native with two UW alumni parents. and then your previous HC.

Looks like a guy Scoop will overrate and then complain when he is what he is.  In agreement with you about his skill set and starting capability

[BCHoopster]

Gets Charles and this kid, they would be fine at the small forward position, lots of open shots for Cain last year, just was not consistent enough for me.  Lots like he has a quick release.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Greg Parham is a name I might kick the tires on. Big PG for a surprisingly okay VMI team. 6'4, 176 lbs. Nationally ranked in both assist rate and TORate by KenPom. Shot 43.5% from deep. I think a second ballhandler that can play next to Carton is critical for the roster next season.

[Uncle Rico]

Marquette and Providence both offer FIU transfer G Antonio Daye, Jr

[Uncle Rico]

Daye likes to shoot, has a high assist rate, turns it over a lot.  Hard pass

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Yeah, not one I'd be excited about. He does boast a top 50 steal rate. If he's being recruited to be a 15 minute a game backup, it could be okay. Don't see him being a successful starter.

The only plus side to yesterday is an early start on transfer season.
