The transfer portal opens today

[dennismenace]

Hey the boneyard way isn't lying, it's making massive assumptions and leaps of logic, then dying on those hills while descending into bitter personal arguments.

Some folks on here have professional grade sarcasm worthy of standup. Hilarious.

 

[dennismenace]

Especially considering I think with our athletic young guys we’ll play a little faster next season

Agree. This year we finessed others on offense to run around in circles and exhaust themselves. Are Nowell and Abraham considered roughly as fast as Hass and Ball? I'm looking forward to some explosive track meet play. It's looking like a deeper rotation with a lot of options. Those practices are going to be something once again. Somewhat smaller speedy guards that can get in opponents grills like Bazz/Boat. I was really happy to hear that Kimani spent a lot of time working with Hass last summer. What great coaches we have that really care about these kids.

So many of you want to kick Samson and Solo to the curb for shiny new transfers. Glad you're not the coaches. Can't wait for both them of them to excel and laugh at you clowns who want to start mid-major guys over them.

Mid major like Reed, Brea or even Roach? And who’s kicking Samson to the curb never mind Solo, no one! He needs help you want your only 5 to play 12-15 minutes and foul out half the year without a 5 with some experience?

Solo has a claim on his spot he just needs to earn it, hope you’re right but not to bring in a shiny experienced shooter would be a sin no matter. It’s a team as you’ve seen, building blocks to number 7.

Nobody I know is kicking Solo and Samson to the curb.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

So, now we know Kansas's Timberlake 2.0. Excited to find out who is UConn's Spencer 2.0.

I'm anxiously awaiting to learn where AJ Storr will play in the 2025-26 season.

Self is certainly hoping Storr is not Nick Timberlake 2.0.

Zeke Mayo was the better get at SG, and he's from Lawrence. Storr has enough length to play SF. Self is embracing roster flexibility and depth like Hurley. Kugel from Florida too. They need to keep Jackson and McDowell.

Hurley has created a template of sorts, mixing veterans and young players with depth and roster flexibility. Let's see if Kentucky and Duke get the message. Self always used to build that way and got caught up in chasing big names last year.

By April 18th last year, Sanogo, Hawkins and Andre had declared for the draft and Alleyne, Springs and Hasson has announced they are transferring. Other than Clingan declaring, it's been crickets from the current guys. Should we read into that at all? Particularly the non-Castle freshmen?

Final four finished April 3rd last year compared to April 8th. Give until the beginning of next week and we should know more. I think Hurley was meeting one on one with players this week.

I don't think the basketball mercenary thing is a good approach if you want to win championships but Self seems to think he can buy himself another ring.

I think he just didn't have any players. They needed shooting, especially if Furphy leaves. Running out a lineup with 3 non shooters can't happen again.

I don't know what they'll do if Dickenson comes back. Bidunga needs to play. They are at 12 right now. The Covid year thing has become absurd. So transfers in should stop unless they lose someone.

What threads are people looking to get rid of solo either I completely missed them or your making this up. I’ve seen mostly the opposite of people wanting to make sure we keep solo happy so we don’t lose him.

Duke loses another 5* to the portal.
As it was mentioned previously, UConn’s name will probably come up from teams that reach out to him.

 

[ctchamps]

This should really mess with Kentucky fans.

There have been people recruiting over him in some threads and projecting he come off the bench.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Wow, that’s a move. Not only do you not follow your coach, but you go to the hated in-state rival. He may be my new favorite transfer.

I wish Louisville far worse than I wish Kentucky.

Given the rest of that list, how in hell can he seriously be considering Syracuse?

 

[UconnU]

Given the rest of that list, how in hell can he seriously be considering Syracuse?

Because he’s choosing UConn and he wants to give them false hope. The last two times we went head to head with them for recruits it ended pretty well.

 

[Umami Zen]

Does he want a trophy? We or Me?

 

[NJHusky]

Given the rest of that list, how in hell can he seriously be considering Syracuse?

He’s never been to Canada
