2021 Transfer Portal

[rocky_warrior]

Edit: Not to be outdone, UT Martin has 15 in the portal.

15?  Do walk-on's have to use the transfer portal?  How is this possible.

Behind all the fancy stat talk and based on some of the comments there is still a subjective component to all this.

This link sorts by conference, and lists PPG from this past season.  I like it because it's easier to identify high major targets.

This stays pretty up to date

Isn't everyone in the portal eligible to play next season?

It has probably been covered here before, but does anyone know the implications on the player's housing, etc., when they enter the transfer portal?  I would assume they don't get kicked to the curb by their current school, but maybe I'm wrong?  Can they still use the workout facilities, dining facilities, etc.? 

I only ask because that may explain some of the delay from any (non-senior) current players who are now looking to transfer with the coaching change - there might be more logistics to it than just throwing your name in the portal.

Depends on the coach/situation. The telltale sign someone was leaving when Crean was here was they moved into Schroeder. Usually they lose most Al access, with the exception of the academic support area.

In really acrimonious endings they get told to fook off and their stuff gets held hostage in the Al. Eventually cooler heads prevail before heading back to Stevens Point for the summer.

FS1 just listed some transfers on their ticker at the bottom of the screen. They listed a Transfer list of Rocket Watts, players from Kentucky, Utah, Miami and I Believe Colorado.

No surprise you're a midday FS1 guy.

Some have already committed to their new school. Do do they have to re-take all their spring semester classes at their new school? Have the athletes that are on the portal and have not committed to another school give up their scholarship and if so do they have to pay back the money for the entire year unless they stay and complete the course work?

My guess is Albany, but Sy makes his decision tomorrow.

Agreed.  Think that will be a good landing spot for him.

Seems like it's either Albany or staying here.

Shaka has reached out to Symir.

He's also heard from UMass, Siena, Albany, Wake Forest, South Carolina, Washington, South Florida and Murray State.

I have seen enough of Symr, great teammate, just not a good baller.  No jump shot, no hops, Shaka can do better.  Let him go.

[JTJ3]

defensively, symir fits what shaka wants.  im with everyone else that wants a roster makeover, but after the big 3, symir is the one im fine having back.  the skill level and iq is there, just needs to fix that damn jump shot.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

No. It is widely believed that the NCAA will pass some measures in April that will give every player one free transfer but those haven't passed yet. And if it does pass, players who have transferred previously (e.g. DJ Carton) will have to sit out. However, the NCAA may do another set of blanket waivers for COVID like they did this season.

No to all of this. When a transfer commits they are committing for next season. They remain on scholarship at their current school and finish out their classes there. The transfer doesn't happen until the summer. Even when a player leaves mid-season (e.g. Ed Morrow) they can remain on campus and continue to take classes.

I tend to agree. I think people are a little hard on Symir. He was only a sophomore. He lacked confidence from what I could tell. I think he can be a serviceable role player at worst and perhaps more if he grows in confidence in his role on the team. There's nothing like an upperclassman. Teams need those type of upperclassman players. Moreover, at the very least he provides continuity.

If he goes, he goes. But I certainly  wouldn't be ushering him out the door and it seems Shaka isn't either.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Not sure if this was posted. Popped up on my phone on Sy.

We're no longer trusting in Shaka?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Wonder if Smart told Symir he'd be welcomed back but please decide quickly so MU doesn't lose time pursuing other guards.


I'm fine if Symir returns.  He's at least a veteran guard that can supply depth.  Maybe Shaka can coach him up.

If he moves on, I wish him nothing but the best.  At least we'll know pretty quickly, so Shaka knows what to do with that spot.

My heart wants him to return and get another shot, but my head says thank you for your time and effort and good luck at your next school. I hardly saw anything in terms of redeemable qualities on court to warrant him returning and playing at BE level. Not trying to be harsh, just honest.

The D1 Council already stated if legislation does not pass for immediate eligibility for the first transfer they will issue a blanket waiver.
