BOGO - North Carolina forward Jalen Washington has entered the transfer portal, sources told ESPN. Averaged 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds this season.

Coming out of high school I really thought Washington was going to be a stud. I know he battled knee issues early.

ASU’s Joson Sanon entering the portal. Under the old staff it would have been reasonable to assume IU would have been in here. 

Givony -

Arizona State transfer Joson Sanon -- a five-star recruit in 2024 -- has committed to St. John's, he told ESPN. Early portal score for Rick Pitino and the Big East champions.

watching how hard it was for them to score I imagine every kid Pitino brings in will be a better shooter than the guy they’re replacing. Sanon’s certainly a better shooter than Richmond.

Pitino is getting Xavier is what I've heard. 

Would love to know the backstory on this as I saw he was likely to Villanova as well then suddenly it was Xavier who I thought was getting Murray.  Seems an interesting move from NM to Xavier except I did not really like the NM area from a living standpoint so perhaps that was part of it.

Wichita State’s Quincy Ballard has entered the transfer portal, as a grad transfer.  The 6’11” center started 33/33 games, averaging 10.0 points on 75% FG, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game.

He does 3 things. Dunks it, rebounds it and blocks it. 

He's also an intimidating dude too.

Not really interested in Harris, but like with every player I will trust our coaches judgement 

He’d pair well with an elite wing scorer who struggles to defend. We’re apparently getting one of those.

Don’t think Frazier is getting the job.  Hodge and Forbes smoke out there so will be interesting.  

Have listened to some West Virginia Locked on Podcasts.  Seems like Hodge is the frontrunner today and they think Frazier does not want to stay if Hodge is the coach.

Harris story: Saw him in HS at a showcase event. Got undercut on a fast break and took a nasty fall on his back. Thought the kid was really hurt. Down for several minutes. Took him to the locker room, wasn’t walking well at all. Came back out to the bench walking a little better and proceeded to flat wear his coach out trying to get back in the game. Coach finally gave in and that kid competed his a$$ off at about 70%. Long way of saying, yeah, kid’s a dawg and I’d take him in a second.

Great transition scorer. Killer excellent warrior attitude. Terrible shooter away from the rim. Lockdown defender - First Team All-Big12 Defense.. Contributes to winning. Two years remaining eligibility.

Smart, thoughtful, team oriented young man that is a high-level culture addition. Major Chris Reynolds vibes!

Take, take, take!

And..  

It's a decent chance he wouldn't have started last year at WVU with Stone and Tucker 

Small

Stone

DeVries

Okani

Hansberry

 

Harris

Powell

Yesuf

Andre

 

IMO-- is a pretty darn good group, especially if Stone fit seamlessly. And building that type of roster, year 1 with those resources has me excited.
