2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[Uncle Rico]

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.

Wright State finished 4th in one the worst leagues on the nation.  He'll be a depth piece, not a difference maker

I can live with Grant Basile going to UW, actually more than if he went to MU.

[4everwarriors]

Kinda like Kolek, den, hey?

Best case scenario with Basile at madison is what? Backing up Wahl and Crowl in a 3 man rotations? Does UW try playing Basile Wahl and Crowl together? That team won't be able to shoot then.

It seems like a weird spot to actually end up. Wisconsin needs like 3-4 new guards before they need him.

They may not like some of the bigs they have

Second team all conference in a terrible league versus freshman of the year in one of the top 2-3 mid major leagues, basically the same thing. Sure

Dickie V just tweeted that Notre Dame is also in on Basile.

Was it reported that Reeves was contacted by Marquette.

He may be the best scorer in the portal to this point but this was from this morning:

"Illinois State transfer Antonio Reeves has heard from Duke, Texas Tech, BYU, Memphis, Xavier, Alabama, DePaul, Oklahoma, Arizona State, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, he told @Stockrisers.

Averaged 20.1 points, 3.4 boards, and 1.2 steals per game."

[TedBaxter]

Not for sure they've contacted Reeves.  He was being followed on Twitter by a member of the staff.

If it's Carl Richburg, I'm not sure there's anyone he's not following on Twitter.

[PointWarrior]

Maybe we can get Wardle in a package deal?

Northern Iowa transfer Noah Carter tells Portal Updates that he has heard from Arkansas, Florida, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, BYU, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Mizzou, Marquette, Wichita State, and  Colorado State. Carter averaged 15 ppg, 4.1 rebounds, and 2 assists.

More confirmation of contact on Carter

[jfp61]

After visiting FSU. Jaylan Gainey had future visits set with Ole Miss and Marquette. After this weekend, expect a decision to come sooner rather than later.

Sounds like a top 3

Just curious. In reading this, it sounds like the visit to FSU was recently? And that he had scheduled visits with Ole Miss and MU but now a decision might be coming before those?

If so, seems like FSU might be the choice.

Has anybody seen this kid play?  It's not like he killed it at Brown?

Would be a really nice pick up early in the game.

[Tha Hound]

He's a 6'9, back to back defensive player of the year who rebounds the ball well. Dont think he would be the end of our transfer portal needs but would be a great start.

Other schools that expressed interest in him - Duke, Arkansas, Florida State, Virginia, Oklahoma, Butler, Creighton, etc.

[Uncle Rico]

His advanced numbers are pretty damn good with the caveat being competetion level.  I'd be pretty happy adding him into the rotation.  His rebounding numbers are good and you could do worse adding a capable rebounder to this team given Marquette's weakness in that regard

[JTJ3]

Gainey looks like the athletic, around the rim 5 type Shaka seems to be looking for.  Good 1 year stop gap to let the young bigs keep developing, and gives us room for the 2023 class where we seem to be in on a lot of really talented recruits.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Virtually all of the bigs we have reached out are built in the same mold as Kuath. Athletic, quick, and long defenders. Not big in the scoring department (except Aimaq). It's very clear that Shaka has a type.

My kind of guys. If we can get a more advanced Kur, I would be very happy.

That's exactly what it sounds like.

But hopefully better rebounders.
