2026 Transfer Portal Wishlist

[MUDPT]

To date, we haven't pursued a transfer since Wrightsil, so this isn't really a fair statement as we have glossed over ALL good players in the portal.

I know of at least one player we recruited that entered the portal planning to come here but was told we didn't have a scholarship for him, but that was years ago. We'll see if they go to the portal this year, but I wouldn't rule out an Oswin/Leon Bond type just because they had the chance to come here before and elected to go elsewhere.

Didn't Shaka say he cried after talking to a player in the portal because he had recruited him but didn't see a good fit for MU at the moment? And didn't Scoop think it was Bond?

I believe that was the same case I referenced above. Some thought maybe Bond, some thought maybe Trimble.

It just makes no sense to me. We haven't been stuffed with talent 1-13 or now 1-15. There's always been room.

You think we would be worse if we had another guard in the mix with Nigel and Adrien in the backcourt?

Nigel would be playing like 15-20 minutes as the backup PG instead of the role he has now, and behind a transfer PG that isnt better than Nigel.  I dont think that would make us better.

What are our thoughts on Finely Bizjack?

If we are to get unrealistic with our portal wishlist, now that's a guy I would love to add. He flirted with the portal twice already. He will be a Senior and almost certainly gone from Butler after Thad parts ways like most assume he will, so we wouldn't have to commit to him long-term to block anyone. Has some size at 6 foot 4, and is a guy that has the ability to really light it up from deep.

Is that too unrealistic? Nigel, Bizjack, Stevens backcourt?

I don't like his hair or face.

They already had 2 PGs on the roster. Nigel was already slotted as the backup to start the year.

If there was another guard to recruit it would have been a combo guard.

He's a good player and we desperately need good players so I'm in favor. Don't see it happening, though.

Thoughts are if my understanding is correct This is Finley Bizjack's 3rd Year with Butler correct. Heard Bizjack had offers to leave Butler last year but chose to stay at Butler for another year. That said am Not Sure how realistic that is but maybe.

How about ben?

I think Bizjack finishes his career at Butler.   If not, he returns home to a Texas school.
