2024 Transfer Portal

[GoldenEagles03]

Damarius Owens.

And Zaide Lowery.

Shaka explores the portal every year. This year will be no different.

you tight w/Shaka, hey? Giving you the inside, ah, scoop?

I think any reasonably competent coach explores the portal every year. Shaka is far better than reasonably competent. It follows then, that he explores the portal every year. I don't think that's a controversial take. Whether he actually finds someone that fits his culture, system, price range, etc...well...that's an entirely different question. It's not reasonable to think that you can can simply ignore one of the most important sources of talent and still succeed at a high level over the long-term. That doesn't mean that a coach should reflexively take a player (or players) every year, but it'd be foolish to not at least look.

[BCHoopster]

I think he will have to add 1 for sure if Jones leaves, with Sean Jones questionable, 12 is a good number on scholarship then.

[tower912]

I agree with that.   And, if there are multiple departures beyond Kam, I assume there will be multiple transfers in.

Both  Illinois and UCONN added significant components this season which contributed to their advancing to the FF

[PBRme]

CJ Dunn to DePaul

Transfer from Indiana Indiana

[tower912]

 MU went with continuity, which contributed greatly to their  S16 (so far) run.   And as of yet, neither Illinois nor UConn are in the final 4.   I do expect UConn to win it all.

And for the record, MU is the only school in the sweet 16 that did not bring in a player from the portal.

FWIW, its becoming pretty clear Underwood is going to live in the portal.  It has worked pretty well for him, but I don't think his and Shaka's program-building templates are going to be very similar at all.

Neither team is in the Final Four but one will be, as they play each other tomorrow for the right to advance.

But yes, they added good players via the portal ...  as has Shaka in previous years, and as he might again in future years if the circumstance is right.

I trust Shaka more than I trust others on this topic, but you're free to trust whomever or whatever you'd like.

Seth Trimble's mom seems displeased with his benching last night.

Also liked a tweet saying that Shaka would love to see Seth back home.

One to keep an eye on potentially.

Seth Trimble is the kind of transfer I would expect, if Shaka decides to take a transfer and assuming he is ok being a bench player here next season.  Veteran, backup PG.  Good size and on ball defense.  And Shaka has a relationship with him already as a HS recruit.

Who tweeted that Shaka would love to see him back home?

That's not great.

[BCHoopster]

That's not great.

Saw him play for 2 years, does not bring a lot of offense to the table, probably can find somebody better but good PR to get a local kid

Getting local kids isn't relevant at all.

Tower , my point is that continuity and experience is what's needed to get this far. Domasc,for example,  is a fifth yr. player
i'm excited about who is coming next year but am hoping we add some experience  especially if we lose three starters. Two of the teams already  in the FF added experienced players . Just something to consider

This is the 2nd time...

There is literally NO ONE in the Final Four yet.

So 15 of the 16 did bring in players. For the record.

Great drop, Dung

[tower912]

Which makes MU cool.   For the record.

[Zog from Margo]

Look for shooters. To play this offense, they need more consistency from 3.

[PointWarrior]

Halftime for Shaka might be better spent calling the portal prospects....

[WellsstreetWanderer]

The fighting Koleks will storm back in this half

[Farley36]

If Marquette is lucky David Joplin will enter the portal.
