2026 Transfer Portal

[jfp61]

If he is such a liability on defense why the interest, especially from Shaka who is defense oriented?

Damarius, Royce, and Nash Walker?

Shaka has decided he likes losing. That's why he has refused to use the transfer portal again.

Damarius, Royce, and Nash Walker?

I'm confused, haven't seen Nash...

Haven't seen him where? He injured his shoulder and will be out until the Fall.

On the court. JFP was declaring him a bad defender without ever seeing him play.

Well I figured play was fairly obvious on a basketball forum. If someone posts on a game thread that we havent seen X player nobody's saying "yeah we have he's on the bench!"

To the shoulder portion:

I get he's injured but either way we haven't seen him (play, given that was apparently not obvious) so we don't know whether he's a great stopped or a swinging door so it just seems odd to include him on a list right now

Gotcha. And I agree.

Define Fall?

I assumed it was definition 26

I think you're a little mixed up.

A quick reference guide:

Gard = always gets it done

Wojo = always gets his man

...that would be correct. But, I have some doubt about Gard next season. I shouldn't, he gets er done, but I do.

The question was not meant to be snarky. PT thinks he is not a good fit but the staff including Shaka must see something that makes up for his poor defensive metrics to bring him in for a visit.

He is not a bad player, just not a great fit IMO. He hits 3s at a good clip and seems to find way to the bucket easily. But he is a score-first senior PG, who you have to imagine is looking for major minutes. Could be a great player on another team who's best player doesn't currently fill that exact role for 30 mins a game.

Could be looking at another Instagram following spree here...

Minessale and Stevie followed each other earlier this week. Appears Braeden Brenn and Jack Anderson followed suit yesterday.

Whereas Fru's follows started with our best players, really thoughtful of Nolan to start with alums and walk-ons.

Yes. We must also trust that anyone MU shows interest in (or gives a scholarship to) is a stud. It has been written.

FYI, Trilly Donovan (THE cbb insider) said 4 hrs ago Marquette is the favorite to land Minnesale and implied it's close to being done if not already.

Have a good friend who works with Nolan's dad.  He said Nolan was meeting with Shaka and Shaka was making a hard push for him.  He just texted me that his dad told him there will likely be a decision by the end of the week (I guess that could technically be tomorrow still).

[MUbiz]

Trilly gif for Minessale just dropped on the discord.

[Tha Hound]

That's weird, the top targets we've been connected with all seem to be committing? That can't be right.

Still surprises me no high D1 school offered Minnesale out of high school. 

I watched both Knueppel and Minnesale in person during the 2024 State playoffs, on their way to winning D1 and D2 titles.  Minnesale had the better semifinal  and final performance of the two.

If Minnesale does commit, I will be very pleased with our use of the portal, whether or not we sign a 3rd transfer.
