2024 Transfer Portal

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?

Not a chance MU and AJ are a match - that was a Wojo recruit and Hoggard does not fit the culture imho.

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

It was MarquetteMike1977 who pulled out out of thin air.

I didn't pull it. Someone posted it in this thread.

My bad saying it was you

But comment remains that it was pulled out of nowhere

Uconn gonna be good again - they landed Mahaney- https://twitter.com/TiptonEdits/status/1784996992134914152

[GoldenEagles03]

Mahaney to UConn.

RELOADING. Wow!


Not surprising but their rosters just keep getting better every year. Crazy.

We will see what the roster looks like after portal season. As it currently is, they have a worse roster next season than they did this season.

So they will just beat teams by single digits on the way to a three-peat?

I trust Dung's assessment

Honestly, just looking at rosters. UConn's really isn't close to last years roster. Right now I would say they have around the 17th best roster. I think they'll land Brea, which will bring them just beneath the top ten. But i don't know if that is 100% better than Creightons roster if Kalkbrenner is back.

Karaban is probably their best player. And they'll have a bunch of good guards between Diarra, Brea, Mahaney, and Nowell. And i think Liam McNeely can be a good 3/4 for them. But their front court seems getable. Samson Johnson is just a rim runner for me. UConn's staff will need to do witchcraft to make Tarris Reed a valuable player offensively.

One for one with MU. Johnson vs Gold is a wash. And UConn might have just a touch more depth on paper. But that is just because they are slightly more well known. Marquettes frontcourt depth is an unknown. Uconn's is an unknown plus Reed who played very poorly last year.

If Xavier's frontcourt is somewhat healthy, or if Kalkbrenner is back at CU. Both of those teams beat their frontcourt.

Illinois PG Niccolo Moretti enters the portal. NBA Global Academy alum - assuming he knows Bennie.

It was also speculated on "Sleepers" with one of the guys usually on Field of 68. They speculated Marquette to replace Kolek just because it made sense as a fit. That said, the other host was an MSU guy and was really down on Hoggard as a player. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8GTnDUF9U8

Apparently even UConn has only so much cash to go around.

[mugrad_89]

Aidoo to Arkansas.  And here I thought it was a #donedeal to MU.  👀

Umm that was just them tossing out teams they personally think could be a fit for HOggard.

Waddell and especially Carter have zero intel. That vid has nothing to do with the claim we are one of his four suitors.

And this board has mentioned many times that those two are massive big10 homers with very bad takes outside of it.

Don't shoot the messenger. You said it was pulled outta nowhere. That was somewhere.

You cant possibly be this stupid.

"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."

That was marquette mikes quote

It was not pulled from a video of sleepers giving their opinions of potential teams. Got it yet?

Holy hell

[Viper]

Wisconsin signs 6'8" transfer from Northern Illinois,  forward Xavier Amos. Not a bad player. They had a need w/Wahl out of eligibility. (Scored 8 vs us last year in our +20 pt win)

Should I be concerned Viper?

Oh my!!! UCONN reloading. Of course we are narrowing that gap.

What do you know about Mahaney?

[tower912]

Going to make Spencer look like a piker.   May replace Spencer AND Clingan.
