2022 Transfer Portal Thread

Carter has also gotten less efficient as his usage has increased, which isn't really a great sign. 

However the one thing that interests me is that both Florida and Arkansas are finalists, and both are pretty pacey teams.  And Golden and Musselman are pretty big advanced stats guys too.

Plus his usage should go down moving up a level.

I'd be good with him joining.

The other programs involved is the one encouraging thing. Maybe they are all seeing something the stats don't bear out. But man...a 6'6" post-up scorer in the Big East that doesn't shoot or rebound particularly well seems like an odd fit for this offense.

Syracuse's Frank Aneselem in the portal. Three double digit rebound outings last year. Good shot blocker.

Honestly don't know much about him and still looks kinda raw, but has a lot of good tools and looks like a Shaka big.

If I remember right, Marquette at least reached out the last time. Shaka and Texas definitely recruited him. Could see him being a fit.

Here's a big one. Kansas State's Nijel Pack in the portal. 17.4 ppg and 43.6% from 3. 1st Team Big 12 player.

Blue Bloods will be all over this one.

UNI transfer Noah Carter (@noah3carter) has a final 5 of Virginia Tech, Missouri, Marquette, Arkansas and Florida, he told @Stadium.

The 6-foot-6 sophomore averaged 15 points and 4.1 rebounds this past season and is one of the most coveted transfers out there.

Mizzou fans seem to be rather fired up about him.

If you're an optimist you might say it's unclear where he fits in at Arkansas, Mizzou and Florida going through rebuilds, Dubuque to Milwaukee isn't a bad drive.

Maryland C Qudus Wahab is entering the transfer portal.

This is the kind of good target for Marquette in my eyes.

[Fred Garvin]

Agreed

Carter is in the 92nd percentile on SQ. Was a clear top 2 offensive option for what i personally think is the best offense in the MVC.
Our offense needs more help than our defense for sure. Oso, Kolek, and Mitchell were statistically the three best defenders on the team last year. (Morsell was considered 5th, but always had tough matchups.)

Its not for sure the "best option". But i think its one of the better attainable options.

Can he transfer to Big East?  He was previously at GTown.  He may also need to sit out now. 

I know BE used to have a rule that you cannot transfer to another BE school, even with a non-BS stop in between.  Not sure if that has changed recently.

You can now transfer within the Big East without losing a year of eligibility.

Dubuque to Milwaukee isn't a bad drive.

I can vouch for that. Dubuque is Ms. Dgies' hometown and I'd driven that trip a few times over the years :-)

Arkansas isn't going through a rebuild.  Its just a reload.

They return 2 of their 5 top scorers.  Their top rebounder and their second leading assist man.   Then you add 3 McD AAs, all in the top 20, 3 more top 100 guys, and they just got Brazille for Missouri who everyone is super high on and got approached by UK and U of I when transferring.

And thats assuming Notae and Toney leave, they both have another year.  Either of them return and Arkansas is probably top 10 preseason.  I'd argue they'll likely be top 20 preseason regardless

Correct, Arkansas is not going through a rebuild and will not be as long Musselman is on the job.

I didn't mean to say they're going through a rebuild - bad grammar. All the things you listed are what I meant by why it might be unclear where he fits in at Arkansas.

Gotcha.  "Arkansas, Mizzou and Florida going through rebuilds" looked like you were grouping Ark with Mizzou and UF.  All good.  But otherwise I agree.

[Viper]

father D, I agree.  (I have a client in Dubuque. Not a bad town!)

Maybe take Manny Bates off the list?

"NC State transfer Manny Bates tells us he has heard from:

Ohio State
Arkansas
Illinois
Wake Forest
Georgia Tech
Miami
Notre Dame
Auburn
LSU
Virginia Tech
Iowa State
Georgetown
Houston
Texas Tech
South Carolina"

I still think Justin stays one more year, but that makes for an interesting discussion..

Does a coach recruit expecting a player to be gone, or the opposite?  You'd think a coach would recruit under the impression that their fringe guys are leaving, but at the same time that might be difficult as well.

Tough job these coaches have.

I would say that Shaka has had numerous conversations with Justin about his plans, Whatever he decides, it will not come as a surprise to Shaka.

If Oso & Kolek were the best defenders on our team last year, we need more help on defense than offense.

in other words, Shaka won't be shocked?

Again, it's not him being efficient in the Northern Iowa offense that concerns me. It's that a guy who gets the vast majority of his points through post-ups against MVC defenders is unlikely to thrive in an offense that rarely uses post-ups, and when it does, is doing so against bigger, stronger, more difficult matchups.

We need someone that can stretch the floor, create for himself, and get out in transition. That isn't what Carter is good at. I'm not saying he couldn't be a good player in the right system, but this ain't it.
