2023 Portal Transfers

[nyg]

Lots of portal players have committed in the past week.  Lots.

Hope Shaka has something up his sleeve.

This video seems to confirm everyone but OMax is certain to be back, with the possible exception of Sean, but I think he's still recovering from wrist surgery.

Thanks for posting. Aside from your observation, the thing that stood out to me was no wrap of any kind on Kolek's right thumb.

Possible, but I dont think this video tells us that for certain.

Yes....and I recall some scoopers predicting a pending thumb surgery for TKO after the msu game. Glad to see that wasn't necessary.

I heard he had his thumb amputated and he wears a prosthetic

Me, too.  As one who thought it was going that way.

Well, if it was good enough for Luke Skywalker...

It's actually Sean's thumb. It's why he's not in the video.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Possible, but I dont think this video tells us that for certain.

I suppose Oso could still go through the draft process and probably should but in terms of transfers I think the video makes it pretty clear none of the guys are entering the portal.

But he was at the Bucks game, from what I heard. At this point, I think we're probably the biggest winner of any team in the portal, simply because no one of consequence looks to be leaving.

How about drop the bag for Omax:p

Shaka isn't doing his job.  Sounds like a crocka Shaka imo

"After consulting with friends and family I have decided that it is no longer in my best interest to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Thank you to Coach Gard and the rest of the staff but I will be reopening my recruitment. #respectmydecision"

Hahahaha

Noah Reynolds, Wyoming transfer quickly changes his mind and decides against UW Madison.

[The Sultan]

The funniest part about this is that he could be heading to UWGB where his brother is an assistant coach.

I'm guessing the AJ Storr commitment changed things.

Nah, Hepburn was supposed to leave. He didn't Crieghton preferred 2-3 other guards. Nebraska offered, but not alot. He opted to stay. It makes sense for Reynolds to find a another spot.

Leaving for the portal, sure. Leaving at all? Omax is a pretty big deal

I had no idea how serious it was. After the fact, I was kinda hoping it was a little serious ...  because if he wasn't affected much by the thumb injury, he basically choked. And it makes no sense to think he choked because he had just been a stud during the Big East tournament in the world's most famous arena.

So I still say his thumb really affected him in the NCAAs.

Just because an injury doesn't turn out to be long or medium term serious doesn't mean it wasn't short term serious. Anyone who watched Kolek play this year could see that.

Interesting, yet odd take imo.

Even the greats choke.

I was definitely hoping that it wasn't serious at all, as in no surgery and no lingering issue into next season.
I'd much prefer the "choking," or "mental midget" on the big stage angle (sorry Muggsy)

Chances are that it was in his head and affected his abilities somewhat, so a little of column A and B, but often times the bright lights can change things.

I've mentioned this before but will try to not dwell on it for obvious reasons, but even Coach Shaka didn't quite look himself in Columbus.

It's a hill to climb, and it'll need to be climbed this upcoming season, but it's a hill I'd definitely die on with Shaka and TyKo.

PS- love the 'you are not serious people.'

Started with 8 points on 5 shots.

Went to the locker room.

1 of his next 13 with 7 TO's.

If your not in the portal is that like tampering?
