2023 Portal Transfers

[Uncle Rico]

Hah, A tease.  3 SJU players, yawn.

St. John’s might take a step back for sure.  😂

[TSmith34, Inc.]

The roster is pretty damn close to complete but we could use an attacking guard that can get to the basket and create his own shot. That said maybe we see Ross or SJ become that player.

Did Kam not get to the basket and create his own shot?

[DFW HOYA]

Bradley Ezewiro, Georgetown.  Will be a nice backup

Jayden Pierre, Providence. 

Georgetown, Providence, X, St. Johns have some serious roster openings.

Returning Georgetown roster (so far):

Seniors (that could leave and/or have still have one year eligibility): 4
Juniors: 1
Sophomores: 1
Freshmen: 0
Incoming recruits: 1

One of them announced on his own page he was transferring 5 days ago.

Yup and I'd love him on Marquette.

O'Mar, OMax, and Oso!

That being said, Storr is the prize.  He's going to probably get a load of cash from some school.

6'6" guard that shot over 40% from 3.

Underutilized at only 21 minutes per game by Anderson.

Can he play defense? That's the end of the floor where MU needs to improve to get to the Top 25/Top 25 that would put them squarely in the title contender talk.

I'm confident that with a healthy Kolek, MU can be in the top 25 offensively again, but I don't recall anyone on St. John's being too interested in defense. Even Posh seemed indifferent.

Schools can’t give out a load of cash

Stanley is 6'8" 240 lbs.

He wasn't utilized as a rebounder at St. John's but has all the tools to be one.

He's 100 for 154 from the field in his career. Basically all around the rim.

Not sure if there would be any interest from either side but I like his game.

[We R Final Four]

If everyone returns….whose minutes would he be taking?

Not sure why anyone of any caliber in the portal would want to come and sit behind a starter….for maybe 10 minutes/game.

I would suspect most in the portal are looking for playing time.
I don’t see us making a huge splash in the portal, because thankfully and hopefully we don’t have much to offer.

You may be right assuming Oso and OMax are back.  If they are they may target a younger transfer that can impact the team further down the road.

[GoldenEagles03]

Here's one for you guys.

Jamarion Sharp transfer from Western Kentucky.

7 foot 2 is an excellent rim protector and has really good feet and touch for a guy his size.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I want Mast from Bradley.

Would let Gold slot into a more stretch 4/wing role instead of playing the 5.

Plus Mast is just good.

[WhiteTrash]

Schools can’t are not allowed to give out a load of cash

Schools can and do give out loads of cash. Have for years.

Yup!

[wadesworld]

Anybody know anything about Andrew Rohde? Just assumed Badgers for him.

6'6" shooter, heard he is close with Joplin.

Maybe he could be a target.  Not a bruiser like some are hoping for but, a scorer and shooter with decent size.

He shot 32% from 3.  Not sure he's much of a shooter.

He’s a gym rat, though

This makes sense.

I've mentioned that I wouldn't mind a Jayce Johnson type. Given that Theo was entrenched as the starter and Morrow was the nominal backup, I don't know what Wojo's pitch was to Jayce. But Jayce seemed content to try to help what was expected to be a decent team win games regardless of how many minutes he got.

Not sure if that kind of player is out there now, and if so that he'd be willing to play sporadic backup minutes.

His buddy Jop was even worse as a frosh! Projects to be at like 52% next year!

…from the woods? snow belt?

[wadesworld]

Nimari Burnett is available.  MU was in on him out of high school, but Texas was not.  From Chicago.  Wouldn't hate adding him.

I have felt that Shaka will go back to the high school well in regards to the portal. He knew who he liked when recruiting them in high school and now knows how their game translates in the college game. Relationships matter and if looks like Shaka knows that better than most people.

[bilsu]

But, UNC will still be pre-season #1, right?

Based on the games I watched, I thought Love was what was wrong with UNC.  UNC will be better without Love.

Not sure Burnett is the same player he was before injury

[CountryRoads]

Former Shaka commit Tamar Bates (2021 #30 recruit) has entered the portal.
