    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    I've watched Cornell several times this year. This dude's a junkyard dog who is all over the court, plays with an New York edge and is very physical, and keeps his balance / can finish around the rim with the best of them. Very efficient player who does several different things well that...

    Koi Perich Commits to Gophers!!!!!!!!!

    None of the programs that he holds offers from is likely to have offered him significant cash (excuse me, "NIL" deals) outside of Florida State. While USC may have the potential to offer a small package, they just fired their DC and their defense has been the laughing stock of CFB for the past...

    Transfer Portal

    Note: Just reposting what I posted on Tuesday now that its official. Celeste Taylor from Duke committed to Ohio State during her visit last weekend and made it public today. That is a massive addition for a program that's looking to get over the hump and reach the Final Four. ACC DPOY, Duke's...

    BIG TEN WBB 2023-24 Outlook and Overall Early Rankings

    Rumors swirling that Celeste Taylor from Duke committed to Ohio State over the weekend and will be going public with it sometime soon. That is a massive addition for a program that's looking to get over the hump and reach the Final Four. ACC DPOY, Duke's leading scorer this season, Naismith...

    2023 College Basketball Transfer Portal Watch Thread

    I'm just being honest here... put yourself in the shoes of a semi sought-after transfer (or recruit) who is capable of making a positive impact on several P5 programs. Why would you choose Minnesota over other options if you don't have deep connections to the state? The NIL opportunities here...

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA BIG TEN HOME OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Haha! Not quite. I hope to re-tune into an NCAA tournament program in 2 seasons and pretend this handful of years never happened. Have to try and manifest it somehow.

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN AT MINNESOTA BIG TEN HOME OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Ok admittedly I haven't tuned into the MBB program since the Coffey/Oturu years, so I don't know too much about the team these days but I decided to tune into the game tonight like I do on the rare occasion and all I can say is: Wow this team sucks! Hope they get better over the next few...

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    Some random transfer player thoughts... Eric Hunter Jr (Purdue, CG): Still think he's the perfect fit that seems within reason to round out our starting lineup. Hope Ben is leveraging that pre-existing relationship to reach out there Grant Sherfield (Nevada, CG): Seems like a pipe dream, but...

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    Of course a lot of internet smoke out there right now, but I'm following that one semi-closely and rumors are that Ohio State and Miami are the major frontrunners. Take that with a grain of salt though. EDIT: He's set to commit at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon.

    After the Cooper commit: Constructing the roster.

    I see Ihnen as someone who has to own his role and be good at it to be a key factor on this year's team. (i.e. hit open threes, defend and rim protect at a high level, and bring some quiet nastiness to the court). Think of him needing to provide Jaden McDaniels-like value to really help this...

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    Purdue's Eric Hunter Jr. entered into the portal as of this afternoon. The missing piece for this roster imo... seasoned off guard with lots of big game experience who can be our defensive stalwart, hit open 3s at a reliable rate and put up 10 ppg for us.

    All Things Dawson Garcia Recruitment Thread (Class of 2020): UPDATED: Gophers Offered

    Yes. One of those fake insiders who throws s*** at a wall to see what sticks. No actual sources.

    Sheesh, moving on to his 4th school and he hasn't played more than 1 season at any of his previous 3 programs. I'd still take him though 😂

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    We could definitely use Thompson and we need guards. He's been a key rotation player on some very good Purdue teams, has had solid showings in some NCAA Tournament games, and carries Big Ten experience and a dependable 3-pt shot. Not many guys would be starting over Jaden Ivey either. I'd take...

    Cashius McNeilly & Emanuel Miller (Texas A&M) both in the portal

    Adding the 2 A&M guys seemed like the only hope to patch over a roster in transition over the next couple of years. Barring Johnson competing for and landing any of the other notable transfers out there, this is a roster that feels like will be in a world of hurt for the next several seasons.

    Inexperience, injuries have Ryan Day concerned about Ohio State readiness

    Umm, all I can say is wow. Jack Sawyer, the #2 recruit in the 2021 class and early enrollee had FOUR sacks in their spring game today. Already getting comparisons to Chase Young and the Bosa brothers from those close to the program. They are also reportedly favored to land the #1 recruit in the...

    Sean Stherlin Commited

    That's where I'm at. Excited for what Ben is able to do as he gets more traction but resigned to the fact that this is probably a bottom end B1G team for the next two years. Not a popular opinion to voice, but I'm just speaking honestly. I'll say that if Ben can close the borders more, we're...

    Sean Stherlin Commited

    Totally, he's trying to find bandaids while building the program he wants to build, which IMO starts with the 2022 class. Guess I'm just a little underwhelmed with the transfers we've added thus far (outside of Battle, excited for him) considering what other P5 teams are adding through the...

    Sean Stherlin Commited

    If you've seen him play extensively and truly believe he's going to be a guy that can impact winning in the B1G, awesome! I'll take your word. That being said, who besides Battle is going to be able to hit an outside jumper for us next year (even when left wide open)? That's the million dollar...

    Sean Stherlin Commited

    Very fair response, I can respect that. I just don't believe there's any reason a B1G team can't go out and compete for (and land) higher impact transfers especially with how saturated the portal is these days. I can start to get excited if we can land any of the Groves brothers, Kyler Edwards...
