2023 Portal Transfers

[Pakuni]

Could the NLI money ruined the NC team this year? It could have!

Miami has entered the chat.

[lawdog77]

Miami has entered the chat.

Yep. Statistcally, Nijel Packs numbers are down, but during the tourney he is averaging 20 a game, and was huge agains Houston. Money well spent.

[CountryRoads]

Not sure if its still the rule, but the rule was you can only do that once. If you declared a second time, you lose eligibility. I think it is called the Luke Trainer Clark rule.

Thanks, that would make sense to that dumb scenario.

[Jockey]

Including walkons, there are over 5,000 D1 players. Every single one should declare and get feedback. Whats the downside? Where would they draw the line?

Players aren't idiots.

Ay least 4500 or more of them know they have a 0% chance at the NBA so feedback means nothing to them.

Furthermore the NBA wouldn't even respond to most.

[wadesworld]

Yeah. I think I could tell Oso and OMax the feedback they'd get. Develop a consistent (or just any, in Oso's case) jumper and then you'll have a chance.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Some of the other most notable players not listed already to enter the portal so far IMO:

- Jaemyn Brakefield (Mississippi)
- Taran Armstrong (Cal Baptist)
- Adama Bal (Arizona)
- Elijah Fisher (Texas Tech)
- Devin Ree (Louisville)
- Puff Johnson (UNC)
- Tyler Nickell (UNC)

One I'm keeping my eye on is Marcus Domask from Southern Illinois (Waupun, WI native) has been the best player on SIU for 4 years now and might grad transfer to a P6 school for his 5th year. Believe he was SIU's leader in points, rebounds, assists and blocks this year. SIU Lost in MVC semi finals to Drake who's gameplan of doubling Domask whenever he got the ball worked. Might just stay at SIU or start his pro career though.

Mwc freshman of the year darrion Williams hits the portal. He's going to be a star. The big guns will be after him

Brakefield went to school in Menasha, WI for a brief period of time.

100%. With that push shot, not sure the pros go for it. Develop a 12-15' jumper...now Oso gets the Associations attention. Imo, of course.

Brandon Murray, Georgetown

Justyn Fernandez, George Mason commits to Providence.

Issac Truadt, 6ft 10, Virginia.  He was a top 50 recruit from Nebraska, who MU offered in 2022.  Redshirted, hello Creighton?

Once you've finally escaped Nebraska, you never want to go back.

I'm sure Nebraska will go after him.  Creighton will be interesting depending on who leaves.  I thought Scheyerman would be gone, but now he's saying he's not sure yet.

[WhiteTrash]

.... and Iowa, Kansas, ND, SD, ......

Agreed....no matter how good his passing, ball-handling, and basketball IQ is, I can't see todays NBA being very excited about a 6'9 guy who has no shooting ability outside of 6-8 feet from the basket (unless he's 7'0+ or a big time rebounder/shot blocker...which also isn't really Oso's game)

If he can even develop a reliable foul-line jumper, that improves his stock greatly.  Some NBA teams will see a reliable 15-18 ft jumper and project that he could learn to shoot it effectively out to 3-point range too eventually.

[shoothoops]

John Tonje, Colorado State to Mizzou. Omaha Central High School. Creighton didn't offer him out of high school, but they did try for him once he hit the portal.

People who are paid to scout and evaluate NBA prospects without bias are high on his prospects and repeatedly speak glowingly about his abilities and potential as an NBA prospect, but fans of his own college team are bearish on his NBA, got it.  Tough crowd.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Over a week and no portal action from our guys has to be a good sign.  That said, we pretty much know Wrightsil + another guy need to enter it, so maybe they're just waiting longer for dust to settle. 

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

On the Dodds board, True Golden Eagles said coach & player meetings will be taking place this week.

TGE usually has reliable info.  Expect news to come out after these meetings wrap up.

Oso is not shooting 15' jumper in the MU offense. In fact, MU doesn't want anyone shooting 15' jumpers.
Oso may develop that ........but he won't be shooting it while Nevada Smith is in charge of the MU offense.

...no doubt nba 'people' like him. I think Oso is a fantastic player. But I'm sure they'd also say develop some range with a J.

[tower912]

Most 6'9 players in the NBA are wings with 3 pt range.

The team he originally committed to made the tourney this year... but he didn't stay for former MU asst Darrin Horn ((

I've been a fan of Domask since seeing him in like a 15u game in Vegas... I went to scout Nobal Days, but came out seeing Marcus as the much better player at that point. Days 2 Portal, btw

[GoldenEagles03]

Marquette has been basically non existent in the mentions of transfer names.

Is that telling? Or still too early?

[GoldenEagles03]

Caleb Love enters the Transfer Portal and will leave UNC. Pretty easily the biggest name in the portal. Not sure that he's the best player but easily "biggest name".

Kansas
Kentucky
UConn
UCLA

those are the schools he'll be attracting.

Maybe keep an eye on Missouri too since they had success and he is from there.

[withoutbias]

IG update!

Emarion has changed his IG profile picture to Macaulay Culkin when he was in Home Alone.

Everything kids post these days has meaning. Everything.

This leads me to believe he'll be the only returning player at MU. We know Jop and Oso were already chasing that bag. Now it appears Emarion has been left home alone.
