2026 Transfer Portal Thread

Has Darin Smith Jr already got a destination in mind? He's 6'7, 210, shoots 38 percent from 3, explosive scorer with a 38 and 40 point game this year, averaged over 20, and he shot 90 percent from the line on 6 attempts per game, so he draws fouls. Looking at his game tape he can score from all three levels.
 
Idk man look at his game log last season. He was never some great player
I took your advice not used chat….. I was a bit surprised as I thought he played better at Vandy. Maybe I’m thinking of his games vs. TN. And their fans- maybe they’re slighting him since he left.

Carey has major issues with not being able to get off the floor, and not having developed a shot that uses his width. He's tall enough that with his width, he should dominate posts even those 2-4 inches taller. But he plays in a way that he tries to go over them if he can't ram them out of the way, and he gets blocked a lot. His biggest value is that he draws a lot of fouls per minute.

That benefit is severely negated by his abysmal FT %
 
Our number 1 priority will be a PG. And we will wait for the best of the best. There's no way I trust Boswell or Burg handling the ball 30 plus minutes.
 
Carey won’t be here for an increased price.
Correct and this is why no one really wants to keep him/thinks he will be elsewhere. Someone will match what he’s making here or pay him more, that’s the nature of the beast these days.
