NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

Again, reaching out could be nothing more than hey, how are you?  Crappy  weather for March isn't it?

Low major to look out for possible major improvement next year might be Austin Peay.  9-22 this year, hired Northwestern State's coach.  Been there just three days I believe and already brought in his old team's best player DeMarcus Sharp as well as Quinnipiac's best player, Dezi Jones.

Girard can really shoot it but at 6’1”, would tie Cupps as the shortest player Woodson has recruited. In the scenario where IU has another out-transfer or two, I can see the fit as a 6th man microwave shooter who can play backup PG. A little on the small side for what IU wants to do on defense.

Highly doubt Girard goes anyplace where he is coming off the bench.

I agree, that plus my concern about defensive fit with the scheme…probably not much traction

[Uspshoosier]

Princetons Tosan will be the biggest name in the portal if he doesn’t go pro.   Can’t go back to Princeton so someone is going to get a stud 

[RaceToTheTop]

Ben Krikke, 6'9" PF from Valparaiso.  19.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 2.1 apg.  Shot 55/28/80.

Not sure this fanbases obsession with height, but I'd take him. We need another ball handler and shooter. Could play next to Johnson because he can work off ball. Could be be any worse a defender then Hulls was? A team defense should be able to hide that. Question would be whether he could play man to man after playing zone for so long.

Who is gonna be the lucky one to snag Evbuomwan from Princeton?

This Furst smoke is interesting but pretty hard to believe. I liked Furst from HS. Smart player. Can offer more.

I’m not buying the Furst rumors. I’ve heard a couple other Purdue players are headed to the portal.

I'm not buying the Furst stuff... How many times did we hear it about Brooks?

Speaking of Brooks, doesn't he have a COVID year of eligibility left? (just joking)

Who are the stretch 4s in the portal that would be good targets? 
 

good defender that can guard the post that can rebound and hit 3s?

The logical choices to leave Purdue are Newman, Furst, and Trey Kaufman.

I’m not much of a fan of Newman at all. Talented enough but game doesn’t seem to really click for him.

Furst is pretty active and quite good. I feel like in the right situation as the five he could be a winning player.

Kaufman is interesting to me also. He’s only had one year of college ball and his size and outside shot form are intriguing. However, he was mediocre at best his freshman year.

I could wrap my brain around either of their big guys.

No one really fits that description yet.

There are others who will enter the portal who fit that description.

Some that fit that description are based on projections by the IU staff and may not make you happy at first. But they do fit that description.

so I guess my take away is that if you’re looking for a 15 and eight young athlete, so is the NBA. That’s not who is going into the portal.

Now if you’re looking for a talented player whose current situation hasn’t worked out and hasn’t been getting enough playing time?
