2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[GoldenEagles03]

For the most part, it has to be on the roster now. Like Sacar Anim, who shot over 39% as a junior and senior. There just aren't enough scholarships to go shopping for everything you want.

A 6'5" Rowsey probably skips College for the G League

[jfp61]

I mean the last month of the year Kolek was basically our second best shooter. Says more about everyone else.

Nelly Cummings from Colgate just entered the portal. He didn't waste much time. He had a real nice game against Bucky.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

All I want is a guy who can rebound the basketball.  Can't be too much to ask for, right!?

James Graham, PF from Nicolet HS, a four star recruit and who had MU in his final five entered portal in December.  Never played a game for Maryland.

6'8" 215 pound wing.  Not a banger, unless he can put on some weight.

He's a guy that the lack of scouting/live game action due to covid influenced his ranking.

Definitely not a high major player out of HS, but has the measurables to eventually become one. He'll drop down a level or two.

Graham was a COVID darling. His stock blew up because he did a really good job marketing himself when coaches couldn't see anyone in person. I don't think it's a coincidence that he wasn't a hot commodity despite being on a high profile team until in-person stuff was off-limits and he didn't last at a high-major program. Seems like the kind of player that will end up settling in at a lower level. If he wants to come home, probably better off playing across the street, based on his resume so far.

[LAZER]

Ricky Lindo 6'8 G/F from GW entered the portal. It was mentioned somewhere else, but GW's recently fired coach was an assistant for Shaka and Lindo started at Maryland. Solid rebounder and shot 38% from 3 on 61 attempts.  I don't know anything about him, but might be worth a look.

[GoldenEagles03]

With everything going on at LSU, if Brandon Murray hits the portal, he'd be a name I'd monitor.

Former High School teammate of Justin Lewis with the Baltimore connection.

6'5" 215 lb. guard that really took off at LSU midway through this season.

1) Justin will be gone so that doesn't help much.

2) Will he be willing to take such a large pay cut?

Wisconsin F Matthew Mors has entered the portal.  An interesting development after Mors redshirted this past year.

Greg Gard publicist Jeff Potrykus has already reported the kid is homesick and by no means should anyone question the leadership and direction of Coach Gard.

[Newsdreams]

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

Thats the guy we need.

Sorry, but 4ever only goes $25/yr and one dental job/yr

Reminds me of when Ian Markolf lost his love of the game...only to later transfer to a low level D1 school.

Now Mors is "homesick."  Sure, Jan.

NC State transfer Cam Hayes has heard from Arizona State, Cincinnati, Tennessee, SMU, Loyola Chicago, Minnesota, Wichita State, Marquette, Creighton, Georgia, Texas Tech, BYU, USF, to name a few, sources told @stockrisers.

6'3" point guard, former top 75 recruit. Averaged 7.0/2.3/2.1. 25% 3-point shooter, eFG 38.7%.

Why?

Never stop recruiting.  Shot it much better as a freshman.  Some solid programs reaching out.

We need four point guards?
Unless either Kolek or Stevie is leaving, this doesn't make sense.

Shaka literally plays three point guards all the time. He did it at texas. He did it at VCU. He will do it here.

The minutes breakdown at MU this year and Texas literally says otherwise.

[The Sultan]

I have been toying with the idea that Shaka doesn't really see Tyler as a PG.  Remember that DJ Carton unexpectedly left two weeks after Kolek committed leaving TK as the best option available.

Not every player contacted will be a priority.  The coaching staff might just be covering their bases.

I dont remember Shaka playing 3 PGs, but this system definitely is more effective with 2.  Shakas best seasons at Texas were with Coleman and Ramey on the court together.

We saw it this year, Kolek was our only ballhandler and once teams realized that both him and the offense as a whole were much less effective in generating easy looks.

I think Kolek would benefit from playing with another PG.  Having two guards that can initiate the offense and distribute would  make the offense harder to defend. Plus, Kolek might also benefit from more catch and shoot opportunities, since shooting off the dribble is a weakness at this point.

And I think they tried that at times this year when DM would initiate the offense....and it didn't work great.
