2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[StillAWarrior]

The school is not moving on from Ewing so we'll see how it plays out.  They never should have given him a contract extension based on four good days of basketball last year at MSG.  Here's something to bolster your point:

Cmon.  There is a ton of bullsh*t in that article.  John Thompson III was ten times the coach that Craig Esherick was.  Esherick's last year he finished 13-15, 4-12 in the BE.  Thompson had them in a Final Four three years after he got there. Esherick never had another coaching job after.

Should Georgetown move on from Ewing and the Thompsons?  No doubt.  But creating false narratives isn't helpful.

Looking at Carter's bio shows to me just how much recruiting has changed and how I believe we should recruit kids with potential and build a team with guys with 2-3 years via the transfer portal. Carter obviously showed he was better than HS credentials and he will be stepping up to higher level next year. If I were a coach, 2-3 year guys would be very high on my list in building a team.

This is absolutely the route Shaka and it appears like 90% of high major teams are taking

Just a reminder - I didn’t write the article.

Nevada’s Desmond Cambridge has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, he tells On3. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard will look for a new home after spending the last two seasons with head coach Steve Alford in Reno.
This past season, Cambridge was the Wolfpack’s second-leading scorer. He averaged 16.2 points a game, on 43.5% from the field and 37% from three. Cambridge also grabbed 5.1 rebounds and dished out 1.8 assists per outing.
The Nashville native has one year of eligibility remaining.

His brother plays at Auburn. (He is also in the portal). Their sister plays at Vandy Women’s Hoops. The two brothers have talked about playing together in the past. Vandy was a past finalist. It’s possibility there.

Agreed that is the route a lot of coaches are taking, and I think it is the right one. My point was that more my concern over an incoming freshman's recruiting ranking means less to me than two years ago. If you can be successful in getting long term transfers you can roll the dice on recruiting HS guys a bit more than before. Not going to lie, I'm banking on Shaka being a long term winner in the transfer portal.

Recruiting a pair of brothers to Marquette? What could possibly go wrong?

Yep. Lol.

There’s a chance though. One thing with Vandy is making the numbers work. They have a highly ranked recruiting class with 4 incoming recruits. I know of 3 players not coming back for them not counting Pippen. (unsure) So it’s a little complex for them even before this.

I do know the sister really likes Vandy a lot. She isn’t going anywhere.

then recruit the sister too. No isn’t acceptable. Family affair. Let’s go!

With these guys we wouldn't have to worry about them writing a letter.  Well, at least the Auburn brother.  Ever since Brent Fullwood, Auburn athletics is known for not requiring literacy.

Nice 40 year old reference there.

He's a good player. Injury bug bit him this year and he took awhile to find his way back into the consistent rotation.

Nothing confirmed but I'm hearing Grant Basile to Madison rumors.

What a monster pickup that would be for them.

Hopefully someone else can come in and get him.  Haven't seen Marquette linked at all even though he's close to home.

Tchikou, Washington, and Aimaq is a heck of a list.

I wouldnt call that a monster pickup.  At the P6 level he's a tweener 4/5, ok shooter but not sure he can hold up defensively.

If that's "a monster pick up" for them, then good for them.
