2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[wadesworld]

I did not see him play but I heard talk of Joplin outplaying him in high school. True?

I saw them playing when the summer between Beekman's/Sibley's/Johnson's junior and senior year in high school, which was between Baldwin's sophomore and junior year.  I did not see Joplin much in high school, but I would guess he did in their high school senior season.  I believe Baldwin got injured during the high school season and may not have even finished the season?  I can't remember.  But I believe Joplin broke Riley LaChance's scoring record at Brookfield Central.

Edit: It looks like Jalen Johnson won Gatorade Player of the Year in Wisconsin his senior season, Baldwin won it his senior season, and Podziemski won it this year.

Couldn't Baldwin's injuries have caused the problems being pointed out in those videos?

Perhaps, which is why I would still advise him to go pro.  Chalk this year up to injuries.  Force GMs to use his high school play to project his potential.

[Viper]

Injuries but more the fact that if you watch the video teams like Florida are literally just leaving a UWM player wide open and straight up double teaming Baldwin on the perimeter, with help defenders just waiting in the paint for him.

Obviously Baldwin has some areas that he needs to improve, but UWM was an absolutely horrendous team, and Baldwin was the only player any team had to worry about.

I watched Baldwin play up on Phenom U with Reece Beekman (starter at UVA  his freshman and sophomore years), Jamari Sibley (transferred from Georgetown to UTEP), Jalen Johnson (Duke, first round NBA pick), and others a number of times and he was by far the best player on that team.  He wasn't a top 5 prospect and a projected top 10 NBA draft pick going into college by being a "spot up shooter."  He's a very, very good all around offensive player and if he goes pro, he'll be a steal in the back end of the first round.

Johnny Davis averaged 7 points and 4 rebounds as a freshman.  The idea that if Baldwin didn't have the eyes of all 5 defenders on him at all times and played with at least semi-competent teammates he wouldn't make a huge leap from his disappointing freshman year is silly.  If he was looking to transfer (which I don't think he would be) it would be an awful day for Marquette if he chose to go to UW.

100%. I live in his HS district. PBJ is the deal. Got hurt his sr year, and a lot this year too. In HS, Joplin played him tough.

@JamieShaw5: Northwestern St freshman transfer 6-8 Kendal Coleman tells @On3Recruits he has heard from Ole Miss, Arkansas, Texas Tech, Iowa St, Marquette, Loyola-Chicago, etc. since entering the portal #On3

I love the transfer portal. Can’t wait to see who we get.

Shouldn't Shaka be focusing on game plan!?

Why? No need to. The strategy thread is a goldmine of game planning ideas.

I laughed. Well played.

Jalen Bridges from WVU is likely the best transfer so far to enter the portal. He is a very good offensive rebounder for a wing/forward too. Has very good on off numbers.

From what I've been told, we were in the driver's seat for his services until Brett Nelson took the HC HC job.

I heard something similar. But in hindsight i feel like everything i was told about the former staff should be taken with a grain of salt. One year out and it does not seem like any of them are thriving. Killings was the only coach that came within a mile of his preseason expectations.

meh, 42% shooter, 32% from 3. 8 points a game on a team that went 16-17. Aim higher. Joplin is better.

I wouldn't say Joplin is better, but I agree to aim higher.

Would like to see MU in on the Isiah Cottrell action

Rumor has it that Omaha-native Hunter Sallis ( https://247sports.com/player/hunter-sallis-46057844/ ) will be transferring to Creighton next year. Creighton should be great next year if he performs to his recruiting caliber.

[Afroman]

I vote for Fardaws Aimaq.

This is the target. Should be priority 1, 2, and 3. Set up camp in his front yard. Bring on Fardaws Aimaq.

If Aimaq wants 25 million in NIL. Make it happen.

15 & 15 against Washington.

Even his “bad” games are like 15 & 5.  Come on down my man
