    College Basketball Transfer Portal Thread - 2024

    At least we know we’ll have one legit game on the preseason schedule.

    Any chance of a return?

    It’s not a Canadian law. It’s a US law that disallows foreigners with student visas to earn income (outside of some minimum wage on campus jobs for limited hours). Ben should seriously consider swapping out an assistant for someone with Canadian ties. This may be the way until we have more NIL...

    Frank Mitchell commits

    This is Sean Sutherlin all over again, isn't it... I'm super pumped with this add! We needed a physical post and appear to have gotten one!

    Payne in portal

    The KU faithful see Payne as a "fallback/safety net," with Dickinson likely returning. You asked which blue bloods are looking at Payne. Kansas is. It's probably a long shot to happen, but there is interest.

    Kansas. Unsure on pay.

    Payne, Carrington, Ola-Joseph and Ihnen...

    We all agree that if Carrington wants to come back, you make it happen for a guy who plays good defense and has a knack for rebounding. We have more than enough scholarships. I wonder whether Carrington is okay with a limited role. Last year, he wasn't happy and got a ton of run for a guy who...

    Dain Dainja in portal. Would fill in nicely for PP!

    And revenge against Illinois who criminally underplayed him during the season.

    I’d bet a ton of these transfers lose out on the latter too, especially at lower levels…

    Braeden Carrington in the Portal

    Finding more consistent guard(s) is a big part of improving the team in 2024. You can't have a guy playing 20+ minutes as #2 in the Big Ten whose one tangible skill is rebounding. Anyone with any basketball sense knows you are trying to find a guy who will eat into BC's minutes. I think Asuma...

    The Athletic: NBA Mock Draft (#28. Cam Christie, Minnesota to Utah)

    Have you looked at a Clipper's box score recently? There's no guarantee Christile will go the lottery if he sticks around for another year. If you can be a guaranteed multi-millionaire, you take it every time.

    #9 Gophers vs #8 Spartans Thursday at 11am

    We could have lost more games to earn an inferior seed.

    #9 Gophers vs #8 Spartans Thursday at 11am

    It's not some grand conspiracy. The 8/9 game has been at 11:00 am for the last decade. We are the #9 seed.

    #9 Gophers vs #8 Spartans Thursday at 11am

    We could have won more games for a better seed.

    Before and After: Comparing Kenpom Rankings From Start to Finish For All 14 Big Ten Teams

    I'm not referencing a schedule at the moment, but I also recall a home/home against Arkansas and a true road game against Richmond (maybe Tubby scheduled this one). He loved those four-team preseason tourneys that fielded pretty good competition (SJU was one year, as you referred to, and then...

    Before and After: Comparing Kenpom Rankings From Start to Finish For All 14 Big Ten Teams

    One of the most fun aspects of college hoops fandom is following the teams you played during the preseason and hoping they successfully boost your team's resume as the season progresses. It's brutal when there's not one win on the preseason resume to get excited about. Or even a close...

    Pre-Season NIL Tournaments

    https://frontofficesports.com/new-mens-college-basketball-tournament-nil/ "A first-of-its-kind men’s college basketball tournament launching this fall will offer up to $2 million in name, image, and likeness deals to participating teams." It looks like the rich will get richer...

    That's why I said, "If." :ROFLMAO: If we can punch first, I like our chances.

    #9 Gophers vs #8 Spartans Thursday at 11am

    Izzo has been begging his senior leaders to show consistency all year, and it has yet to happen. With a loss, Michigan State will likely be out of the tournament and break its 25-year streak. That's a lot of pressure. If we're locked in and engaged early, I could see Sparty crumbling late. I...
