I have a hard time keeping up with these in the regular College basketball thread and with this offseason going to be the first where everyone can transfer without penalty I imagine it will be a free agency type atmosphere. So I think it would be easier to put all the transfer talk into one thread. 2023 247 Transfer Portal Link: https://247sports.com/Season/2023-Basketball/TransferPortal/ 2023 Verbal Commits Link: https://www.verbalcommits.com/transfers/2023/D1

BOOM

FYI - Single game tickets went on sale yesterday. I bought mine for the season opener against FIU. Really excited to tailgate and watch the Cignetti opener. Pumped that this is a 3:30 kick Get to 6!

It's pretty funny to see the Purdue nerds on HSN take over that board to make sure the "real" story gets out. Somehow Catchings went from an unbelievable 5* to a player Painter doesn't want or need overnight.

On the HH podcast, Bossi said he would rank Mullins top 30 right now. kid is really good.

Definitely not hard to spot Goode's bright red hair in that pic though lol

He was out recruiting :)

Apparently 17/18 head basketball coaches were there. He was the 1/18 that was not. Also, it was for all sports so Teri Moren and Cignetti were there. Dolson as well

Has it been discussed that Woody skipped out on the big ten coaches meeting in California?

Yeah I should have clarified taking him with a guaranteed deal.

Usually that means a team has pretty much told him they are going to take him in the second round. Even a good scrimmage probably won’t get Cam Christie to the first round anyway, so he doesn’t have much to gain.

https://www.insidethehall.com/2024/05/20/2024-25-big-ten-offseason-at-a-glance-penn-state-nittany-lions/ Analysis on Penn State's offseason. I think they kept a core that will keep them competitive next year, and it will be interesting to see how the additions fit together with the returning core.

He is awful. If I remember correctly his AAU stats were really underwhelming, like 3-4 ppg. No Idea how we was a top 50ish recruit for most of high school. Made sense that Archie worshipped him though. to stay on track... I am really surprised at what OSU lost. It was almost the opposite of what people expected. You figure they hire Diebler so they can keep the roster together, instead two of their best players leave. Not sure they came out ahead, but we will see.

maybe he is an extremely kind person? I don't see anything wrong with that.

His team wasn't going to the tournament unless they won their conference tournament, which they did. However, his firing was announced before that tourney run happened.

Okay great, but real question... when is the last time a coach was fired after his team made the NCAA tournament? Not resigned, retired, or left for another job...but fired. I know it has happened, just can't think of it off the top of my head in recent memory.

twas a joke brother

Don't we have a thread for next seasons expectations? Pretty sure this has been discussed a ton. FYI - In that thread the ultimate sunshine pumper said we were going to go at least 17-3 in conference. So that is what I will go with :)

Yeah his hands AND feet must be tied at Rhode Island. Because he stinks worse there lol

Lol Kory Fidunga

With all the other shenanigans going on? hell no it shouldn’t count. But I am curious as to the thought process on why he did play given the rule

Barrel having legit info has to be one of the greatest happenings this board has witnessed another reason btb is the best

How many of these guys is Wisconsin getting with 2.5 million? Guessing not AJ Storr or Chucky Hepburn lol

You don't see the huge value in keeping the big ten freshman of the year, a player who was big ten honorable mention as a sophomore, and Trey Galloway? OOOOOKAAAAAAYYYYYY then.

I agree with him. I was out on the team with that Auburn loss like you, but I wasn't out on Woody until the Penn State loss. He has given me some excitement and hope with the current roster and his recruiting of the '25 kids, but still concerned for sure.
