2024 Transfer Portal

[cheebs09]

I wonder how big the FedEx truck was that delivered the NIL deal.

Maybe we will get him next year when he does his annual trip to the portal.

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.

Note in the BT evaluation Zaide Lowery has an expected 0 production/impact for the team.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Tyrese Hunter to Memphis.

Kam cooled on Memphis.

Tyrese Hunter to Memphis.

Huh.

[MU82]

Tyre$e'$ dream $chool.

[tower912]

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.

I think MU stands pat.   If I happen to be wrong, your choice is not bad.   Tyran Cook has been reached out to.  I can see him coming to MU as depth at the PG.   
Again, my instinct is that Shaka rides with what he has.

[GoldenEagles03]

Huh.

Tyrese Hunter to Memphis.

IMO

Bartovik does a really poor job prognosticating defense. Especially with the amount of Turnover in college basketball at the moment.

Hoop ex is probably best right now.

EvanMiya's is the best at the start of the next season. But that takes time to update.

[Viper]

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.

HC to recruit...well 'pay' you $250,000 this season to play here...tuition, room/board covered. Or, we'll 'pay' you $350,000 this season...and you cover tuition, room/board to open a scholarship for your AAU buddy...and you keep the difference.

Exactly. If a guy can't figure that 350,000 - 50,000 in expenses is a better deal than 250,000 and zero expenses we probably can't get his dumb ass into school.

How many times has this actually happened?

Chick was talking hypotheticals.

That happens, and the other starters on the team are probably in the portal the next day

Didn't happen when Kansas gave Dickerson 700,000

[MU82]

Nah, what happened with Dickerson was Oso kicked his $700K arse from here to tomorrow!

[wadesworld]

The school can't pay the player. So if some alumni says I can pay $350K for this player, why would the player say I'll take that and hey MU, we're good. I'll pay full tuition and room and board?

I am thinking about this type of scenario:

The NIL collective has some available money, perhaps a high six-figure amount.  For fun, let's say it was for a player that they were hoping to return, but who decided to leave for the draft.  In the meantime, they recruited other players to use up all of the available scholarships, but the team could still really use a big.

Now, the team's dream big enters the portal and indicates he would really like to play for your team.  He tells the team that another school has offered him $750K.  You tell him that you don't have any available scholarships, but you can offer him $825K, but he would have to pay his own tuition and room and board.   Why wouldn't a recruit consider that offer?

[GoldenEagles03]

Huh.

They're just letting you know a 3rd and 4th time that Hunter is going to Memphis.

[MuggsyB]

Is there a limit an incoming Frosh can be paid under the current system?  For example, do we have any idea how much Cooper Flagg is getting at Duke?  I was just curious.  Ty.
