2021 Transfer Portal

There is chatter that Stack is close to hiring his uncle, Ed Conroy as an assistant. (He was on Minnesota's recent staff). So Vandy is a possibility there for both Conroy and Robbins. Nothing definitive yet. (Vandy is definitely hiring a new assistant and definitely seeking a big.) We'll see.

Liam Robbins has transferred to Vanderbilt.

We might be as good as last year's team.

I would hope better. Last year's team was not good. Not surprising, but still.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

We might be as good as last year's team.

We'll be better.  Not really saying much but I fail to see how we'd be worse. 

[The Sultan]

My goal for next year is improvement throughout the year.

[GooooMarquette]

We might be as good as last year's team.

If Shaka really does know how to coach, we would be quite a bit better with that lineup.

[MU82]

The vast majority of college athletes improve over the course of their careers, with the biggest jump often occurring between years 1 and 2.

If we ran out the exact same team, we'd almost certainly be better, and it appears we will have some talented additions. As well as a more accomplished coach.

I would expect fairly significant improvement if DJ, DG and JL return, if Mitchell and Jones remain committed and if Shaka brings in a few talented guys.

This. I was halfway through typing "coaching was a big problem last year." Talent level was good enough to take out a lot of good teams.

Walker Kessler (UNC) is transferring to Auburn.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Tre King to Georgetown. We had been mentioned as reaching out to him.

Former MU transfer target Jamarius Burton is back in the portal after transferring to Texas Tech last season

Pretty lousy stats. Either he wasn't as good as quite a few made him out to be, or Chris Beard didn't coach him up very well.

I think putting up the numbers he did for a top 20 team would have likely made him a starter on our squad last season

[MuggsyB]

I will admit to not being particularly patient but we really to add some prime-time players.  Pronto.

Not a surprise.

The feedback that guys like Garcia get from NBA scouts can be very valuable. Good move by DG.

Think this is best case scenario for us. He won't be getting drafted and didn't simultaneously enter the transfer portal like other players who have declared for draft.

Agreed.  Now let's add Joplin, Bates, and a few impact transfers.  Preferably a 6'6-6'8 switchable with ball skills and a  6'4 Novak like spot shooter.

I prefer a 7' spot shooter like Novak, that blocks shot's like McIlvaine, and can break a press like Tony Miller.

The point is to add talent.  Ideally I would like a 6'7 Wade type player with Novak's shot.  I wouldn't worry about defense in this scenario. 

[Pakuni]

Boogie Ellis to USC

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

The feedback that guys like Garcia get from NBA scouts can be very valuable. Good move by DG.

I'm not even sure he's only 1 year away from the NBA.  More like 2.   

[Newsdreams]

The jump from frosh to soph could be bigger than you think. NBA does not need him to be 💯 ready....

Bryce Thompson is transferring out of Kansas. Former five-star recruit who scores the ball on all three-levels, plus, has major upside. Showed flashes plenty of times this season and will be a large get for one program.

Ex-Shaka recruit.  Took an official to TX before committing to KU.
