2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I will predict he heads to Minnesota and applies for a waiver.

Seems like the obvious move at this point.

[Tha Hound]

Wrightsil and Joplin are plenty capable.

I'll obviously support him and would be very happy to be proven wrong, but adding a glorified D2 player who cannot shoot (like, at all) doesn't really strike me as addressing our most glaring issues.

Seriously, take a look at his highlights from last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrPAjBg6Y0I). He might as well be playing against high school teams given the spacing and athleticism on display. His defense does look good, but again that is at least partially attributable to level of competition.

Grant Basile to visit

Iowa State
Virginia Tech
Notre Dame
Wisconsin

Have to think Wisconsin is the favorite but that is a great list of schools for his style of play. Could see any of the 4 as a fit.

Hes a done deal to Minny

For sure ?

A lot of crossover with Bennett Vander Plas's top 6.

Illinois
Iowa St
Ohio St

Interesting. Basile to Notre Dame and Vander Plas to Virginia seem like the best fits on paper with the current status of the programs but you have to believe Wisconsin ends up with 1 of them.

Thank god Shaka isn't recruiting these hillbillies

There's an interesting personal connection with the Vander Plas and Bennett families.  Dean Vander Plas played at UWGB with Tony Bennett and Dick Bennett was the coach.  Dean is Bennett Vander Plas's dad, apparently naming him after the Bennett family.

Bennett Vander Plas also played on the Ohio team that beat Tony Bennett and Virginia.  Playing at Virginia would complete the Bennett Vander Plas circle.

Better them than some white boys from cow towns

[MarquetteMike1977]

Was not in the Portal but Armando Bacot is returning to North Carolina for his Senior Season

[GoldenEagles03]

If Oscar Tshiebwe would transfer to Marquette already I bet they'd win more NCAA Tournament games than he did this year at Kentucky.

[GoldenEagles03]

Interesting note on Warren Washington that I missed until reading it today.

"Washington began his career in the Pac-12 at Oregon State, so this is his second transfer, which would require an NCAA waiver to play immediately. Washington has two years of eligibility left."

With Marquette in his Final 7 this is highly relevant.

I don't think that will end up being the case because he sat out a year after transferring from Oregon State. The year in residency was relaxed after COVID, which was the year he sat out, so I'm guessing he gets a pass and immediate eligibility.

Alex Fudge to Florida.
Fudge that.

Greg Elliott is officially in the portal

Greg Elliott is officially in the portal

Would be a great candidate for Oakland Golden Grizzlies .

If greg is the only guy transferring out, and Wrightsil comes in. It is going to be interesting to see if Marquette continues to recruit as much as they were a couple of weeks ago. Like if Washington will visit. If they think Justin is gone, they will. If not there might be a chance of Justin coming back and he could possibly play more small ball 5 next year.

You might take a second recruit, then Lewis goes into the transfer portal.  Coaches have tough decisions to make, that is for sure.

Always be recruiting, things get sorted out.

[GOO]

Do we need to save a scholarship for Justin?  Couldn't he just take NIL money and skip the scholarship?

[Tyler COLEk]

Always amazed at the pessimism here. Justin Lewis will be back. He said so himself less than a week ago! He just wants as unbiased an evaluation from NBA teams as possible. And maybe to maintain leverage to encourage some local NLI sponsorship. I wouldn't be surprised if Shaka himself told him to walk back those initial comments.

[The Equalizer]

If Shaka is sitting with 14 committed players and Justin is one of them, I guarantee you Justin is not going to be the guy asked to go to the transfer portal.

Always amazed at the pessimism here. Justin Lewis will be back. He said so himself less than a week ago! He just wants as unbiased an evaluation from scouts as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if Shaka himself told him to walk back those initial comments.

Also possible he meant he's staying at MU for the rest of the semester.  Several guys leave school as soon as the basketball season ends to prep for the draft.

He gowne, hey?
