2021 Transfer Portal

Edit 2 - T-rank projection without Dawson and DJ moves us from ~48 to ~120

Yeah, the new guys could certainly surprise to the upside.  But having a "proven" guard next year (even with the TOs) was kinda' the anchor of my optimism.

Edit: optimism for next year.  Certainly I think Shaka is building well for a couple years from now.

Well, we're back to needing a legit transfer guard if next year is going to be anything close to a tourney level team. DJ had his flaws, but I was super optimistic about him running the team next year. Without him, as things currently stand with or without Dawson, this team isn't very good. Thankfully there is still time, but obviously not many spots to work with.

Yup. Perez and Elliot are our seasoned point guards.

Morsell can't really score tho. We need a dude who can get his. Not sure that guy exists in the portal honestly. Man, what a kick to the nuts.

Carr, Miller, Akinjo, Harmon - Of course, none of which we've been in contact with. Besides Morsell, I dont think we're in on any of the top G's available.

Didn't realize Akinjo was available again. Loved that dudes game at Gtown.

[HutchwasClutch]

Moresell is thought to be heavily leaning pro. Not likely to get him.

I said two weeks ago I felt DJ may enter draft. This is not surprising news. When he transferred last spring, sentiment was we would only have him one year.

Great opportunity for Ellis and Kolek.

Yup. Perez and Elliot are our seasoned point guards.

Perez a PG?  I don't think so

Scratch that, he's committed to Baylor already. In fact, all those guys have been committed, the link hadn't been updated in a week or so

Isn't there a dude that was sunbelt conference poy that most consider the top player in the portal still available?
Don't remember his name but maybe Shaka gonna coppa?

I read something the other day that said MU has shown interest and Juwan was prioritizing and I was confused why Shaka would show interest

DeVante Jones from Coastal Carolina but Michigan folks are pretty confident in landing him.  He announces this weekend

[fjm]

Is Dexter Akanno available?

Is Dexter Akanno available?

Summer 2020 mixtape Akanno?

Yea DeVante. This would make a shite ton more sense if he was coming on down

[Tha Hound]

Yea DeVante. This would make a crape ton more sense if he was coming on down

I don't think DJ was making any pro decisions based on a transfer coming in or going. Especially one that is deciding this weekend between 4 schools, none of which are MU.

We're just going to have to accept that we won't be getting a high level replacement for DJ. Best spin is that this will be good to "reboot" so to speak as a program. Let the young kids grow and play for a couple years from now.

Per ESPN Ticker. Transfer Rule clears last hurdle. Transfers can transfer first  time and be immediately eligible for the first transfer is my understanding.

Is this for every season in the future or just 21-22?

Wouldn't be so sure.

Believe every season but am not sure

Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division I Board of Directors ratified a rule change Wednesday that will allow all athletes who have not yet transferred the ability to do so one time in a college career and be immediately eligible to play.

The Division I Council adopted the proposed legislation earlier this month. The board took the last step to make the historic rule change official and the NCAA clarified some of the details in a news release.

The one-time exception had been previously available to some athletes, just not those in football, basketball, baseball and men's ice hockey. Now it will be available to all athletes who have not yet transferred, starting with the 2021-22 academic year.

Looks like Shaka is wasting no time:

Per Adam Zagoria, "Schools that have already reached out on former St. Joe's standout Jordan Hall, who averaged 10.6 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 5.7 apg.

Marquette
Nebraska
Minnesota
Ole Miss
DePaul
Texas A&M"

Only a freshman.  Shot 35% from 3 and 76% from the line. 6'8", 210.  Would be a heck of a response from losing DJ.

Had 6, 5, and 5 against Kansas in his 2nd career game.
Had 17, 6, and 6 against Villanova in his 4th career game.
Had a game with 12 rebounds, had a game with 11 assists, had a game with 3 steals.  Seems like he'd be an absolute home run.
