2022 Transfer Portal Thread

Tyrese Hunter has to be going to Virginia right?

IIRC, the announcers during the tournament said that Tony Bennett texts with Hunter occasionally. They even said that Bennett told Hunter to stat at Iowa State, which I thought was odd at the time. Regardless of where Hunter ends up going, if I were Otzelberger I would be pretty bothered by Bennett talking to my players.

It will be UNC.

I thought at one point Coach Calipari had an interest in Tyrese

Dont think Virginia can offer the bag UNC can.

Got it.

Well, between Leaky Black and Tyrese Hunter, Armando Bacot will have no shortage of ORebs to grab next year.

UNC
Virginia
Florida
Wisconsin

would be my guess. Rumors of UNC forking over big NIL last week, but rumors can be pretty far fetched. We shall see.

It will not be this school. There is nothing to suggest it would be.


Also, expect NIL programs to be involved. Louisville, Memphis, and Kansas.

And the rich, get richer,hey?

[LAZER]

1. Start a company
2. Profit
3. Hire Tyrese to be your brand ambassador
4. Profit a little less, but be happy that you are helping Marquette basketball.

Do they actually have to do any work for you or can you just cut them a check? Does that check run through the Athletic Dept or does it go right to the player?

Rite a chek, nu?

It'll definitely be somewhere with big NIL opportunities, and I doubt Wisconsin offers much more opportunity than Iowa St. in that realm.  Memphis boosters probably have a lot of freed-up cash with Emoni Bates leaving. 

[swoopem]

I get that UNC is dropping a bag for him but from a basketball standpoint it doesn't make much sense. Isn't RJ Davis coming back? I also haven't see Caleb Love announce his decision.

Again, I get getting paid but there might not be a lot of minutes at UNC. The grass ain't always greener (no pun intended)

We have to correct this Wojo mistake asap

Had he signed with MU he may of jumped ship just like he is doing at Iowa St.

Actually let me say that I completely forgot that Tyrese's HS coach is Tony Bennett's cousin. So you may be completely right here.

I'd be surprised if it were Virginia or Wisconsin but I think they'll get a chance.

Hunter has NBA aspirations and Virginia and Wisconsin just do not fit the type of player Hunter is. He's best in open space using his speed and quickness and neither of those programs allow you to do that.

Garcia is a Gopher.    Stunning no one.

[jfp61]

"I am a homegrown kid, I got a lot of love for this state..." That is why i played for two better schools outside of this state before coming back.

I hope it works out for him.

[Warrior of Law]

Of last year's HS graduating class from the state of Wisconsin:

1. Baldwin (played sparingly for UWM; going pro)
2. Hunter (transfer portal from Iowa St.)
3. Joplin (Marquette)
4. Podziemski (transfer portal from Illinois)
5. Landers (transfer portal from Kansas St)

MU likely came out best with Joplin.

Is it just assumed that he's granted a waiver to play right away? 

This one is an interesting case study.  One one hand, I get that he left UNC for family reasons, so the waiver is easier to justify, especially when transferring to a hometown school.  On the other hand, does that open up the floodgate for two-time transfers heading back to their hometown schools for "family reasons"?  Could the NCAA say he's not eligible until, say, halfway through the season, since he played roughly half of last season?

Johnny Davis did fine at Wisconsin being at his best in space.

This is what first time transfers were doing for the past 10 years to get waivers. He will get one. Going to Minnesota ensures it.

I'd be flat out stunned if he doesnt get the waiver

He has to be one of the most overhyped prospects in some time.  He shot 30% from 3, 42% from the field, he's not overly big for a guard, and a solid finisher but not overly explosive.  Wisconsin didn't give him the ability to freely push the pace and he was better in the halfcourt taking advantage of mismatches.

He's a lottery pick with holes in his game.  Every year's draft has players just like that.  I wouldn't call him overhyped at all.

I understand why he is a valued prospect but there are a lot of players in mocks behind him that I like a lot better. He was pretty terrible to close the year and like you said has a ton of holes in his game. I get it though, potential.
