2024 Transfer Portal

You're assuming two things, one that i wrote him off,  two that the only criteria I was using was where he was from.

OK. But where he's from is the only criteria I've seen mentioned here. I'm open to you having considered other factors that have gone unmentioned.

I also don't think he makes the Big East any more of a gauntlet. But could he make Providence better? I don't see why not. One would assume the Providence staff believes so.

Providence sucks

Providence sucks

Way too early tiering. I put Butler, Georgetown, and Xavier ahead of them next year.

No one on that roster is as impressive as devin carter was. They lost their second best player in oduro, 3rd or 4th best in Gaines. Hopkins looked horrendous before he tore his knee up. Now their second best player is Jayden pierre  or Jabari Abdul Rahim?

I would take a Malick Mack or Micah peavy over most of the guys they got to transfer ing.

And i doubt they can coach offense with that staff.

Looking at the T-Ranking Rostercast today.

BE (overall)

1. Xavier (10)
2. UConn (11)
3. Marquette (12)
4. Creighton (37)
5. Providence (41)
6. Butler (43)
7.  Villanova (59)
8. St. John's (79)
9. Georgetown (104)
10. DePaul (131)
11. Seton Hall (134)

Sean Jones is included in this projection.  Drop him and Marquette becomes 14th overall.

Drop Sean Jones and add Tyrese Hunter, Marquette moves up to 11th overall.

Just one model, but it gives me a good idea of how Marquette stacks up.  Lots of transfers still have to pick their new schools, so these ranking will change.  But this tool gives me some insight as to why Shaka might be more content with his roster than some Scoopers are.

My guess is Shaka will move forward with the current roster.  I expect his focus will be locking down his 2025 HS priorities while everyone else plays roster musical chairs.

Kiss of death for Providence if Herm thinks they'll be good.  Bet the farm on the under for wins

Elijah Hawkins of Minnesota into the portal.

Finished 2nd in the Country in assists per game behind Kolek.

Tyrese Hunter just tweeted "5:00 PM CT" and then deleted it.

I'm not confident Hopkins looked bad. He was shooting poorly from 3, but it was a small sample and the rest of his game looked good to me. And he's proven he can hit capably the last two years

ESPN has them tied at 2 so I apologize, but typical SCOOP nitpick. I'm sorry for moving the goalposts so drastically from 2 to 3.

Minnesota is notorious for inflating assists numbers

[warriorchick]

I just thought of something that I haven't seen discussed anywhere.

Couldn't a school get around the scholarship limit by giving a player a crap ton of NIL money and having him pay his own tuition?  It's my understanding that at MU, every player on the roster gets money (some more than others, of course).  If there were no scholarships available and there was a great player in the portal we were interested in (and vice versa), could we make him a $500,000 walk-on?

The land of 10,000 assists.

Yes.

And coaches could adopt a player and they could get free tuition, too.

But yeah, I'm sure a good player would love to dip into his or her NIL earnings to pay for tuition, room and board, etc.

Could be done.  Likely won't be done because it's already impossible to have a 13 man rotation, adding even more bodies makes it even more impossible.  Especially likely won't be done at MU because that does not exactly reinforce the culture that Shaka has been building, seems likely that if it is ever done it would be by one of those coaches that is known for not exactly following the rules.

Probably one of the Drew brothers.  Scott the most likely.

[Zog from Margo]

I'm not seeing any players that MU reportedly has reached out to (and that are still available) in the portal as easy fits other than possibly Saran.

[GoldenEagles03]

Tyrese Hunter to Memphis.

[MU82]

Tyrese Hunter to Memphis.

Phew! Glad some of us got in our speculation just in time!

Good luck to Tyrese in delivering a national title to Penny.
