2023 Portal Transfers

[Uncle Rico]

Badgers get a "no longer silent" commitment Noah Reynolds, a guard from Wyoming.

A guy with concussion issues, an offensive rating under 100 while hoisting a lot of shots, doesn't rebound and shot 33% from 3 for the worst team in the Mountain West.  I guess that's a big pickup

You forgot "worst defensive box +/- on the 198th best defense."

It's a depth move that allows them to replace Jordan Davis, I suppose.  He's much more dynamic for sure.

He's a big upgrade offensive over Kamari McGee and Isaac Lindsey.  If Gard can turn him into a serviceable defender, he'll be a solid backup.

Badgers seem very 8 seed-ish to me.  Just enough to keep Gard around, at least one more year.

Yeah, McGee should probably prepare his speech about falling out of love with basketball and getting those transfer papers in sooner than later.

Lindsay isn't a major conference player.

They actually got slightly worse in TRank adding Reynolds 🫣

[Jay Bee]

He got sumthin most uw Madison guys not got aina

[Fred Garvin]

Huggy trotted out Jordan McCabe as a starter for a surprisingly long time, so I don't think Kriisa's low shooting percentage will be an issue.

McCabe is probably going to be going back to West Virginia as part of staff

8 seed-ish in the NIT?

LOTS of smoke on Ryan Nembhard going to Arizona.  From a pretty damn reliable chain, it sounds like Zona is coming with close to a million dollars and Nembhard is giving CU time to get to a comparable number.  However, said source said he's "gone gone".  Take it for what it's worth.

If true, just highlights how GD annoying this era could be.  Nembhard was BE ROY, given the keys from day 1 on a great team, and yet because Zona has more resources than Creighton and Tommy Lloyd recruited his brother Andrew, he could be gone just like that.

We'll see, but would be a wild domino effect.

As someone who despises Creighton and UW I'd love to see Hepburn replace him.

That would be a crazy amount of money for a good, not great, player.

Man that sucks for Creighton and the Big East. I think we all feel their pain..

Another reason to go donate to BTDNIL.

[Herman Cain]

Not an ideal situation, but Creighton can get a player of equivalent ability  if Nembhard transfers.

[wadesworld]

Agreed.  He's good so it hurts Creighton, but he's also overrated.

[GoldenEagles03]

Completely agree.

He's not that good.

If the number is a million, I think Creighton could probably swing it. Might not just be about the money.

[CountryRoads]

Was never the biggest fan of Nembhard. They actually have a chance to upgrade if they got someone like Max Abmas.

It's 100% money-related.  Zona offered what Creighton wasn't able to get to.
Word is that Scheierman is back, Kaluma will declare for the NBA (not get the feedback he wants and then transfer), Alexander and Kalkbrenner will declare for the NBA (not get the feedback they want and come back).

If they can't afford Nembhard they can't afford Abmas.  They're looking at Andrew Rohde from St. Thomas and Charles Pride from Bryant from the sounds of it.  Also going to Florida to try and find a PG bigger than Nembhard.

Kaluma should transfer IMO.  He's so much better than Creighton's offense allows him to be.

He could elevate his stock in a major way playing elsewhere.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that.

Nembhard is a proven high major player with success in the BE and at the international level.

Abmas is a volume shooter who has feasted on terrible low major competition. 

This past year against real teams?
St Marys: 4/11 for 14 pts
Houston: 1/13 for 3 pts
Duke: 4/15 for 12 pts

His best was against mid major Utah St where he was 5/12 for 17 pts.   Also shot 22% from 3 in those games on 7 attempts a game.

Last year they played 1 non-con tourney team, Colo St, he was 8/22 (1/9 from 3) for 20 pts.

He's basically living off that hot run in the tourney from 2 seasons ago where he was on fire...and the fact that he scores tons against UMKC, Nebraska Omaha, and directional Dakotas and Illinois.  I don't see him as an upgrade at all.

[CountryRoads]

Maybe that was too far with Abmas. Still not the biggest fan of Nembhard and wouldn't lose sleep over it if I were a Creighton fan.

[Tyler COLEk]

I find it impossible to believe given the economics of college basketball that Ryan Nembhard is worth a million dollars. Particularly when you have very talented PG coming back as a sophomore.
