A Braden Smith/Luke Brown backcourt would be the Buckner/Wilkerson ball pressure nightmare of the 2020’s.

If only we had 2x point guards on the floor to break that pressure

Ball State G Luke Brown has entered the transfer portal.   On to school #3.

Really starting to question this kid's judgment. Committed to Stetson without ever visiting. Transferred after a few months, supposedly had a girlfriend at BSU. Got a waiver to play immediately due to some obscure mental health condition, even though BSU had a terrible coach who was on the hot seat and was later fired. Now, a month after hiring Lewis, he hops into the portal just days before the deadline to maintain immediate eligibility. He had an NIL deal with someone in Muncie, too.

I can't help but assume Brown didn't get a lot of playing time encouragement from his new coach.

[AZ Hoosier]

I'm ok with that, transferring within conference feels dirty. Maybe as a Grad (Max Bielfeldt) but otherwise.....its yucky. For instance that POS Luke Recker, I'd still like to punch his face. 
 

Technically, there was a stop at Arizona in between, if only on paper… but don’t disagree with your point.

Portal trivia --

1,508 players have tested the market since the start of the season, 31 have withdrawn and 455 have now found a new landing spot.

296 of the transfers on the transfer list have transferred at least once before. 123 of those qualify as grad transfers.

Of the roughly 1,000 players still available in the transfer portal, 529 of those averaged less than 3.0 PPG or did not register any statistics this past season.

The truth is that I am sure that quite a few of those 529 that averaged less than 3 ppg -- especially those that did not register any stats -- would be deciding to simply give up basketball as a pursuit or were basically being told that they weren't going to really have a spot on the team next year, especially those at the lower D1 level.   By putting their name into the portal, they may find that they are wanted elsewhere, but if they aren't, they haven't lost anything.....because their plan was to move on from basketball anyway.

Quite a few of the lower end guys in the portal are walkons.  IMO, if you weren't a scholarship player you shouldn't have to put your name in the portal to move on to somewhere else.

EDIT:  SI article below -- says that about 1/3 of all players in the football and basketball transfer portal are walkons.

Anyone else hearing anything about Max Christie being interested in transferring to IU because he is dating Sydney Parrish? Supposedly MSU boards are talking about it.

If that would be the case, Sydney Parrish will be, hands down, the best men's/women's comprehensive IU basketball recruit ever.

FYI: There is a MSU Premium board post from 10:07 last night titled "Max Christie will not be entering the portal - NBA or MSU for him"

He would have to decide by this weekend right? May 1st has to be in the portal to be eligible. Lots of chatter on Peegs about it but I haven't heard it from anyone reliable which means he could be true. :-)

There was a screen shot that said "less than 15% chance he's back at MSU"... idk what the odds were of him going pro. Not sure if that meant 85% going pro..  or what 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Seems a bit farfetched to me.  Eugene, OR and East Lansing, MI puts a whole new meaning into long-distance romance.  But after we Zoom in on this further maybe we can put some more mileage into the rumor.

Portal entry has to happen by May 1st. Portal transfer can take place without sitting after May 1st, as long as the player is in the portal by May1st. NBA declaration is by mid/late June I believe.

Would be absolutely shocked if this happened, but man it would be fun to see Izzo's head explode if it did. 

[BtownStrength]

This rumor seems insane but it would make us celebrate tremendously. 

[HoosierInParadise]

Wait....but what if it pushes Leal off the team?

Osuni Osunniyi in the portal.  Good player at both sides of the court.  6’10” center from St. Bonaventure.  Averaged 11.3 points on 61% shooting, 7.5 rebounds and 2.9 blocks.

Missouri St SG Isiaih Mosley enters the portal. Avg 20 ppg on 50/43/90 splits. Hell of a shotmaker. Really good player. I’m a fan.
