2023 Portal Transfers

[ATL MU Warrior]

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

TRUTH

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.

He gowne.  Hopefully we'll get a banging big swift aircraft carrier

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.

Good call!

Emarion enters the transfer portal and no longer follows anyone Marquette related (not sure if he ever did, but follow list is trimmed to 8 people)

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

I would assume Pitino and Cooley are going to be interested.

It always was McCauley caulking. He always followed 8 people. He just wants to play, and it's easier at a different school.

Cooley doesn't have that kind of pull

It's not really the pull, it's the bags that GTown (alumni) will drop...

We'll see. I see remaking Gtown as a much heavier lift than the national media is portraying it to be.

SJU has Repole bankrolling them now and look at the recruits they've already been in contact with. All quiet on the Georgetown front so far with all but four teams still playing this season.

For sure!  I'm not saying it will happen at all.  Unless...the bags are available.  But we were lead to believe part of the reason Cooley left was because...more bags would be available at GTown.

Agreed - although he wouldn't be the first person to receive an empty promise in a job.

From our old friend Todd Rosiak, on someone NOT going into the portal.

In returning to UWM, Freeman also confirmed he willingly gave up potential NIL money that reached into six figures. "I don't look at the quick money. I look at the end goal and where I have the best chance of achieving my dream. Where I feel most happy," he said. "It's not about the money. I felt like Milwaukee was the best spot for me, for my happiness and for me to be able to achieve my end goal -- to make it to the (NBA).

I don't think that will be the case. Cooley has had his players lined up for awhile now. It's why Eddie Lampkin announced (then rescinded) his commitment to Georgetown as soon as Cooley was hired, and it's why Hilltop Hoops is reporting Georgetown is a favorite for Illinois wing Jayden Epps, who isn't even in the portal yet.

I would be shocked if Dirty Ed wasn't working the phones for Georgetown for the past few weeks. He's going to have maybe the biggest transfer haul in the nation. That Georgetown roster is going to look like Chris Beard's first year at Texas (likely with similar overrating early but enough talent to be competitive by March).

I'll call BS on everything this kid said

UWM is a NBA prospect factory.  Look at Patrick Baldwin, Jr.

[StillWarriors]

Xavier is really going to have a completely new look next year. Dieonte Miles, Cesare Edwards and Elijah Tucker have entered the portal. None were used a lot despite a lack of depth due to injuries, so I don't think any are a big surprise or big loss. Miller can now build his own roster around Desmond Claude and a good incoming class.

[GoldenEagles03]

Wrightsil to the Portal as a Grad Transfer. Assuming it is D1 I will absolutely be tuning in as often as possible to see how he fairs at this level.

Unique story.

[Its DJOver]

So now that we have an opening, who do we target? Is it as simple as "best rebounder available"?

[GoldenEagles03]

Zach Edey just dunked on Dakich.

Given Shaka, I don't know that it's personnel as much as system.

I want a knock down 3 point shooter.

Or Zach Edey.

[GoldenEagles03]

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.

We lost 51 minutes of play time. They don't "need" to do anything. Recruit 2024.
