2024 Transfer Portal

[We R Final Four]

The forward Wisconsin just added was ranked 2,000+ in Bayesian Performance Rating according to evanmiya.com.

For comparison, Zaide Lowery was in the 1,800s.  No thanks, I'm good.

Viper loves him some Wisconsin. He is the only one on here who covets a Badger transfer this year.

MWC Frosh of the Year and 2nd Teamer, JT Toppin (New Mexico), has entered the portal.  Avg 12.4 ppg and 9.1 rpg.

Yeah, he would do

Kim is a little frustrated with the portal right now.

I don't think so. I think that was him crowing about other teams not being able to pry Hopkins away.

[Jay Bee]

Karma 4 Kim. Don't shoot free throws after your butty fakes an injury

[The Equalizer]

Bayesian Performance Rating (BPR) is a catch-all advanced stat.  The player with the best BPR would be ranked #1.  Last year, that was Zach Edey.  #2 was Donavan Clingan, Tyler Kolek was #11.

Being ranked below 2,000 is very, very bad.  There's a reason why Northern Illinois was #308 in Kenpom.  Amos has good looking basic stats because he was one of the best players on an awful team.  He's better than an empty chair, but Gard's really scraping the bottom off the barrel.  And their transfer G from Central Arkansas is pretty much the same: sub-2,000 BPR ranking on a sub-300 team.

I think you're reversing the impact the team quality has on a player's rank.

For example, before he transferred to MU, Tyler Kolek was ranked 1772 at George Mason.

Moved to a better team, better conference, better SOS, etc, actually posted worse individual stats but still climbed to a rank of 537 his soph year.

Kim is full of crap. Whining that other coaches tried to tamper to get Bryce Hopkins when he literally had Wesley Cardet on campus for a visit the day he entered the portal and Cardet committed the day after he left.

If he's mad about anything, it's other coaches stealing his move. He's just as guilty of tampering as anyone.

I'd rather have Owens and Parham and continue what Shaka and his staff has been doing with their players than bring in a guy from a terrible league and a terrible team that you wouldn't know squat about if he hadn't signed with Wisconsin

actually, you need to stay in your lane with assumptions of what I do or do not know. My nephew at Northern Illinois knows the kid quite well. I've seen him play a few times. Thanks, however, for more of your mindless bullshiiit. You are good at it.

Well if your nephew is FRIENDS with the guy!!

Different than be overly obsessed with your enemies.

With Viper and other Gard lovers on scoop, who needs the Platteville Posse?

This is strange, but I'm not a life long Sconnie so I guess I wouldn't get it.

He is absolutely right.

But also.....You live by the sword......You die by the sword.....

Don't  kid yourself.....Scumbags are after our players also.....

Then you should have been advocating for him when he entered the portal.

Yes, they are.   So let us all celebrate the roster stability that MU has managed to achieve.

[Viper]

onepost, thx for chiming in. Maybe keep it to one post, agreed?

[Viper]

thx for letting me know what I should have done.
Imo, a nice pick-up for them, as I mentioned to Muggsy. But ok if not w/MU. Either way, fine.

We can control for level of competition by comparing players against just their conference peers.

Among players with over 500 possessions, Amos was #62 in BPR in the MAC.

Two years ago, Camren Hunter was #64 in the A-Sun.  He missed last year with injury.

So is entry into the portal officially closed?

Last year people seemed to jump in super late, is that not allowed this season?

How many un-committed portalers are still out there?

Not that it matters for Marquette, but it seems like quite the mess.

No. You can enter the portal whenever you wish.
