2024 Transfer Portal

[rocket surgeon]

they still have to pay federal income tax. Ask Chris Webber about that...

absolutely but that's not a Scott drew thing just to be clear for the anti Scott drew folk

[The Sultan]

you, Tower and Rico set the standard. The 3 musketeers of the reactionary. You 3 offer nothing, consistently, nothing. You each simply react to others. In this case you didn't answer the question I asked...what do you know about the young guy beyond what you've read or been told? You deflected. You avoided. You tried to spin. How about this...don't comment at all. Resist the urge. Or, if you must, comment with a positive. How about...'I hope he's on the right path. Seton Hall might have a good player.' Would that be too difficult? Or is that outside your overriding urge to react?

You were the one who asked if MU had any interest. The rest was addressing why they clearly never did.

Kinda strange that you would ask a question then get bent out of shape when people answer it.

[tower912]

I don't think he is what MU is looking for.   You have said nothing to even try to prove your point, just defaulted to victimhood. Ergo, I accept hey, hi, I'm the problem it's me.

[JTJ3]

There is not a chance we ever reached out to Yalden when he entered the portal.  He provides nothing that Shaka looks for from his bigs.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Dai Dai Ames to the portal.  Don't think Shaka gets involved in this one, even though recruited Ames at one point.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but someone just texted me
Saw AJ Hogaard from MSU in the portal has MU listed as one of his four choices for transfer.

...I rest my case. You can't resist. And come back with the standard reply. I'll give you this...you are consistent.

Yeah. It's a message board. That's literally what it's designed to do.

But keep making it about me instead of the actual topic being discussed.

Wojo recruited AJ quite hard and MU was among his several finalists.

[tower912]

This one I could see if a bag drop was not required.
Gives time for Sean to heal and Tre to keep developing.   He does love his mid range jump shots, though.

Still not feeling it.   Bag drop will be too big.

I will go with Wisconsin.

Like 4 years ago or now? There has been nothing posted about him since entering a few days ago.

[MU82]

Yeah, I just googled AJ Hoggard Marquette and got not a single link suggesting MU was on his list.

They'll get him John Tonje, and one other i think

Looks like they're also getting John Tonje from Missouri and Xavier Amos from Northern Illinois.

Decent pickups, especially if Tonje is recovered from the injury that cost him most of last season.

Interesting - I see the crystal balls for them but nothing firm as far as a commitment goes.  Apparently Tonje already committed to New Mexico last week and then de-committed.

He committed and signed a grant in aid, then backed out to join Wisconsin. Pretty obvious tampering, but I'm sure for Bucky fans it's okay when they do it.

Thanks Brew! Oh boy - the self righteous fans of rodent twitter have been unbearable lately, then Gard goes and does this. 

[tower912]

I must confess, thinking back on how Bucky fans would disparage MU for taking JUCOs, this makes me chuckle.

[Herman Cain]

Tonje was an under the radar recruit coming out of high school in Omaha.

Looks like he may potentially have two years of eligibility as he only played 8 games due to injury this past season

Solid pickup for Badgers if they close on the deal

For Wisconsin, they can be a little bit mad that AJ Storr had an agent that started floating his name "in the portal" in February. That's fair.

However losing Chucky, with Wahl graduating, is what will actually really hurt them next year. Wisconsin never kept him happy which is why he entered the portal last year too. And if Ashworth didn't fall into creightons lap, he would probably be their right now.

Storr was overrated as a college player. If Essegian wasn't on that team it would have been blatantly obvious that Storr plays very little defense.

Klesmit, Crowl, and Blackwell are still three good players, and I would assume Tonje can start ahead of McGee and Gilmore but the rest of their additions are question marks at best.

Aside from Blackwell, who was very good, their freshmen were underwehlming. Winter was probably the best of the bunch, but he is still significantly worse than Norman was for Marquette. Winter was just above an average NCAA player.

I would say they are around the 40th-45th best team.

Soooooo. Back to Marquette...

There is no way AJ Hoggard and Marquette are a match right? That Top 4 business isn't true I assume?

1. Definitely, No. Hoggard is a top two player in the portal at his point, and multiple schools with deep pockets have 6-8+ roster spots to fill. This staff "looked" at 1-2 scoring first combo guards. Both were probably 6th men at best. They took Maxi seriously, the other guard less seriously (a grad transfer). I don't think they are looking at the defense first point guard, who will probably command near 1 million dollars.

2. How about we wait until there is a visit from any transfer recruit? We aren't overly recruiting any transfer at the moment. We hardly recruit transfers. That is how the program is run. That is why other programs get brought up more frequently in this thread. This staff want to get a strong 2025 class, they arn't focused on transfers like everyone else.

Considering you pulled it out of thin air, id say no
