2024 Transfer Portal

I'm comfortable with Ben as the starting five, Jop as the starting four, and one of Al, Parham, and Hamilton being good enough to give us 15 minutes backing up Ben at the 5.  I think we'll see some 5 guard lineups with Zaide, Chase, and Owens playing some "4."

Kam has shown me much more ability to play the lead guard than I thought he was capable of, but I think his scoring off the ball will be to needed for next year's team to have him on the ball as much as he has been in Kolek's absence.  A full year of that, plus shouldering the scoring load, will be a lot to ask of him.  If Sean isn't going to be ready, I continue to think we need to add a point guard ready to play from day 1.

Maxime Reynaud has made a nice progression during his career. Would be a great pick up.

Sure! But what about our/Shaka's current guys? How would this all work?

Don't you know that Herm just spams the board with links? He doesn't apply any commentary to go with those links. And when he does, it's usually misguided anyway.

I know that. But I wanted to stir the pot about this transfer to hear how scoopers who believe we have room for this guy (if he is interested of course). There are always plenty of theories.

I feel it's highly likely Kam will test the waters, if he continues on n the heater he's been on and we make a deep run with him playing a pivotal role.

And if that happens I suspect he can play his way into the first round. What he showed running PG with Kolek out only enhanced his draft ability.

Yeah, but Sam made a 3. Somebody has to report it.

Can he read?

He is a math major so  we know he can count.

I know this guy at the 5 would be gold...and Ben Gold stays a 4. Jop a 3. Hamilton off the bench (my assumption he can/will contribute), with Kam, Stevie, Chase, Tre, Zaide and Sean (when ready) creating havoc? Yes please. I tend to think Al is a RS candidate.

Is Shaka is going to transfers or staying with guys he already has? You don't know the answer to that question. None of us do. That's my only point. If he does and wants a 5, this guy looks great. If Shaka does not go after a transfer, 5 the guy still looks great and another team will be lucky to get him. What more do you need to know?

I'm having dinner with Shaka tonight.  I'll let Herm know about roster plans after that.  Heck, Herm might be at dinner with us

Duz da Indy Mickey D's take reservations, hey?

Not sure about Mickey D's. But I'm getting dinner with Shaka at Qdoba tonight. We plan on scouting out other teams to see if anyone has players in a boot.

As an evangelical Christian, I will never eat at McDonald's and be around poor people.  Gross

No sweat.  Being connected with this many high rollers has its benefits, mostly sharing insider info on Scoop

You're right, no one knows. But we have some pretty good indications of Shaka's philosophy. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

[Tha Hound]

What I'll add: I would not expect Shaka to bring in any upperclassmen/grad transfers. I wouldn't be shocked to see a 2/3 year eligible player join the program.

Mubb's Kryptonite this year is anyone over 7-1. They need a Bill Cartwright type who can go up with those guys for at least 15 mins a game

All of those 7'2" Clingan and Edey, first round pick types of players that every team has.

Build a team around planning to stop those guys. Especially when neither of them are in college basketball next year.

Hear he only has a 3.8 GPA at Stanford. Don't think Shaka can get him past Admissions.

[tower912]

Watched Hamilton hit a 3 during the second half lay up line.  MU is fine.

[rocket surgeon]

if we could find a guy like GCU's Gabe mcglothin, a 6'7" beast!  runs the floor, scores, blocks shots and rebounds like he's possessed avg 14 ppg 7 reb
