2025 Transfer Portal Watch




This is more of a general "roster construction" comment than a portal comment, but I wonder if Niko is targeting any international prospects? Illinois is really cleaning up in this area and I kind of suspect we're at least looking overseas for a big man if not also a lead scorer wing/guard. Niko had a couple international guys on his last CSU roster. I'd also personally like to see us add at least one high upside guy either a highly ranked recruit in '25 who opened up after a coaching change or a highly ranked '24 recruit who is leaving because he didn't have the role he wanted as a Freshman.
Regarding international players, I’ve heard they do usually have agents. Probably still cheaper than domestic recruits, but I would not be shocked that they are benefiting financially in some roundabout ways.
 

Any news on Kendall Blue?


I was hoping he would stay at UST he had a real good year last year… he really needs to hit the weight room this summer to compete in a Power 5 conference.. strength has always been an issue… focus on D would get him yanked once in a while and ball handling for a guard is so so… just my two cents on where he needs to improve.. I would welcome him back in a second he would be an all Summit player… I thought Minnesota and Wisconsin would be in play but both teams have signed guards…maybe he is added as a depth piece…

Nebraska is my guess.

Is he related to Vida Blue or Vander Blue?

Yeah, I am kind of surprised he hit the portal.

For whatever reason, I don't think he ends up at the U, but I don't think any of our current signings are true SG type players. So there would still be room for him.
 




Any word on Daniel Freitag? I've heard he would be a better football prospect than a basketball prospect. Any chance he switches sports?
