2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I thought the ruling was coming the first week of April. Or maybe that was just a possibility.

They pushed it to the Summer meeting, according to reports.

Blake Harper is in the portal

16 and 4 vs Kansas
7 and 8 vs Missouri
23 and 10 vs Cincinnati

19.5 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 40.4% 3-pt shooter on 99 attempts

Great size at 6-5, 210 lbs and MEAC POY as a freshman.

I'd guess he'll be one of the most sought after players in the portal.

That’s where it’s been for a bit, they’re trying to make the timing such that it doesn’t apply to current seniors but starts in time for next years senior class starting with football. That’s why I’ve said the question then becomes do any players hold off on starting their professional overseas careers and stick around until that happens and then sue the NCAA that you should be able to utilize that new rule.

That’s obviously 1. Asking a lot of said player(s) and 2. Not anything you can bank on and need to build your roster with the assumption it won’t happen

From DC, would thinking Georgetown is in play.

Surely he'll have much better options, right? Even one's within a few hours of DC. Maryland, Villanova, St. John's all seem like better options.

He just wanted someone to @ him when he entered.

Is Ja'kobi Gillespie a realistic option with Willard's status up in the air?

Gotcha. My comments weren't meant as anything other than discussion points. I'd say he's someone we will definitely look at. Id love to have him.

Still wondering if we have interest Jayden Reid since he followed our whole team , BTO ignored my post.

Guess that was my answer lol

We've discussed him before. He played in Long Island. Not the same school as ZZ, but same league, I believe. I'm sure they likely are at least familiar with each other.

If Willard leaves, then very much so imo.

What is wrong with these people? Why wait and create confusion. Do it in April and grandfather in the current group of players. This way coaches and players know where they stand and can decide what they want to do.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

No Tennessee here.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Crossing my little fingers that Money hits the portal.

He and Budd would be a deadly combo.

Would be really unfortunate for Bert to not be around when we have a player with that name

 

[JohnnyD1024]

I think it's possible that Money might not be able to transfer due to him taking care of his younger siblings.

Closer to the 6’7-6’8 range now. Late growth spurt led to “late-bloomer status”

Seems like the teams remaining are really putting an emphasis on positional size again, and this guy gives you that on the wing with ability to play “semi-small ball” at the 4.

I think with all we’ll have to spend on the open spots he may be too expensive, but really like his game - maybe Barnes sticks around and can pitch the Durant plus Knecht/Lanier transfer success angle.

 

[CamVol8]

Mackenzie Mgbako entered the portal. Wonder if he’s someone we would be interested in?

 

[VolOnthePlains]

I believe he’s from Oakland, I don’t think his siblings are living with him in his dorm in Montana

 

[TrippieRedd]

My favorite player from last cycle is rumored to be hitting the portal soon. Ryan Conwell.

Doubt we will go after him
