Ramsey head thoroughly up his ass.

Trimble makes a lot of sense here as an additional ballhandler to help Kam and Norman next year.  Really strong on ball, pressure defender too.

On a basketball level I'm with you. Whether his parents can play nice is a larger question.

Yeah, I decided to ignore that part for now haha.  Thats certainly another factor the staff would have to figure out.

It'll be used,  just not as often or in the manner that scoopers want

I don't know what it will take for scoopers to get this message. 

Love it or hate it, Shaka's system doesn't revolve around the portal and any use of it would have to be done in a way to not upset the development/relationship culture he's built.  That's a tall task; I'd expect transfers in to be rare and generally in an outside-the-box way.  Time for people to accept that idea.  If not, maybe we ask the mods to up their scoop subscription price by at least 3x.

Agree with you. That being said, do you expect a big man transfer this cycle to supplement Caedin and BG?  To me, this is one of those rare times.

Trimble looks good in transition, which would've helped this year's team a ton.  Really solid defender.  A defensive backcourt of Stevie, Seth, and Chase would be fun to watch when Kam is on the bench.  If he can be a lead guard, then definitely yes.  If not, there's probably better fits out there.  But I certainly wouldn't hate it.

ATL MU Warrior

I don't see a guard who is leaving his current team looking for a bigger role coming to MU where the guard spots are pretty much locked down.  Unless you want to call him a wing, and then he takes Chase's (presumably) spot in next year's starting line up. 

He might be a fit skills wise, but he's not a fit from his perspective of what he wants (bigger role) it wouldn't seem.

I don't how else to say it...we will never get huge transfers...Kolek, OMax, and Morsell were to get the program jumpstarted. Assuming Shaka's retention strategy continues to work...the portal just won't be used.

You're wrong

What's the story with his parents?

No inside info,  but his mom has been very vocal on Twitter about his lack of playing time

This, and they were known to be high maintenance with JP as well.

We've seen what a set of hyper-vocal parents can do to a team's chemistry. Now, I think Shaka is better equipped to deal with that than Wojo was, but still something to keep an eye on.

Pass on Trimble, IMO.

If Shaka would decide to hit the portal, Hugley makes more sense to me than a PG. He would give MU some power to bang inside and give Hamilton someone to learn from for another year. Of course, I am higher on Norman (and Lowery) than some on the board. We'll see how it shakes out, but I really do not worry too much about the roster under Shaka.

Hoping Tre can be that PG, which I feel greatly benefits Kam. I agree with you that more on the front line would be good.

I'd rather see us raid the A10 / Mo Valley (like with Kolek) than be somebody's grass is greener.  Kids leaving UNC / Arizona etc --- scare me. I'll trust Shaka but I do have a little bit of old man in me that sees these guys as quitters.

Aren't we someone's grass is greener if they're moving up?  And aren't they quitting their other team too?

What level of program does a player go from a quitter to looking for a better opportunity?

I am sure there are plenty of examples proving my feelings wrong, but to me lateral moves are not my favorite. I would rather see one who has blown up on the lower level. I know as I type this Omax came from Clemson.

Like any transfer it comes down to why and what are they looking for.  I'd take Morsell, Carlino and Omax again.  I'm sure you wouldn't turn Bryce Hopkins or Larry Bird down.

I hope Shaka would turn Larry down...he's 67 years old!

And you're fine with Mike Hopkins at 54?  Get old and stay old.

I agree. There are a lot of very good players that most fans, me included, have not seen play because of a lower conference, but they definitely can play at a very high level. That might be the one silver lining of the portal, that unknown kids can make mark at a bigger spot than their original school.
