Transfer Portal Thread

Remind me?

Several top post players were expressing an interest in joining Chandler but none signed. Smith and the guy that signed with Duke come to mind

Brooks will go to Mississippi State

He went to high school right outside Auburn. Is Mississippi State the known landing spot somewhere?

Brooks will go to Mississippi State

That’s odd. I know you lost your coach, but go to play for Howland? When you probably have a bunch of options?

Smith publicly said all of them were planning to officially visit the same weekend, but Covid prevented it.

His dad is an assistant there

His dad coaches there and he originally committed there out of high school.

College basketball is becoming a hire someone’s dad or brother as an assistant to get a player

In fairness his dad has been an assistant at Mississippi State for decades

That is not what happened. This is not a Wade Houston situation. His dad has been there for quite a while.

2021 Basketball Transfer Portal

Kentucky and Arkansas appear to be knocking it out of the park in the transfer portal. See where Arky just landed Umude. Ugh.

College football does the same thing too.

Any word idea if we have interest in the xfr from Louisville Ighton??

Wade Houston was hired before Allan was cleared to play for TN. Allan was already signed with Louisville and Denny Crum fought against letting Allan join Wade. Wade’s hire was more about Lamar Alexander forcing Dickey to hire him.

To be clear, I was not saying TN did anything wrong in hiring Wade. I believe they thought Wade was the right coach at that time. There is no doubt Allan made the decision more attractive though. What I was implying/saying though is that Brooks' dad has been coaching there for quite some time, so Brooks' going there is not like MSU just hired his dad and he is following him.

Neither of the above are like what Oklahoma State did with Cade Cunningham, and others have done before, where they essentially find a way to "legally" pay a player and his family to attend their school. By the way, I see where Oklahoma State is now "losing" an assistant coach named Cunningham immediately after another Cunningham declared for the draft...

He committed to Grand Canyon iirc

Which one do you think we have the most realistic shot with? Kessler, aidoo, or Dante(if he even puts his name in the portal). One of those committing to us changes things a lot.

if we get the coach from Marquette then Aidoo. If Dante enters the portal, then I’d say Dante. Lol idk tbh, I guess whoever Barnes wants more if both things happen

I’ll say Aidoo, if Dante was in the portal I’d probably say him.

Vols involved with Brooks

Bama and Arky both been killing it in transfer portal since hiring Oates and Musselman. They have taken several this year and past year or two and they seem to hit on the right ones. Meanwhile Barnes been missing on his

Most likely Ark and Ala are going to be forces to be reckoned with in bskb for the near term.

Thought he was goin to Miss State?

Go cheer for Bama and Arkansas

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I know it's been said they get info from off here, but what the rumor on VQ?

 

[orangemadam]

I feel like our starting five will be solid. We sure need some depth though if we want to compete in SEC next yr.

Chandler
Vescovi
Bailey
JJJ
Fulky

That's pretty solid.

Mashack
Powell
Orn

these guys need help.
