I think it's a no brainer! He is a one year guy, unless they are wanting a guy with a few years.

I wouldn't go more than 2 remaining years the players in the upcoming classes.

Would Coach Woodson kick the tires on this guy?

I thought the portal closed a week ago.  Am I wrong?

He is a grad transfer, their rules are different

Ant Wright and Ron Harper Jr. suggesting dirty play, and a bad back story to the Cam Spencer portaling. Trilly is suggesting a DMV school. UConn, Maryland, Georgetown, ??

Shame is, he might be the type of player that fits our need most. He’s a competitor, too. Good player. Glad to see Butgers take one on the shin though, even though I kinda like Pikiell.

Them getting Ace Bailey??? And potentially Dylan Harper needs to not happen.

UConn isn't DMV. I'd put it all on Maryland.

Not for us. Not a switchable defender.

Really nice player and competitor though.

This is close to where I am re: Spencer.

However, he played more minutes than anyone else on a Rutgers team that finished 6th in Kenpom defensive efficiency. Maybe we’re wrong.

UCONN is not in the DMV

[WayneFleekHoosier]

True. Trilly says DMV. But others indicating UConn and Georgetown involved. Georgetown appear to be biggest suspects.

Assuming there isn't a potential transfer prospect going through the NBA draft process waiting in the wings for us (that the staff feels really good about), I'd be pretty happy to round out the roster with Cam Spencer. 

He makes winning plays, shoots well, and I think his strengths compliment Trey's fairly well.

Our 2 spot wouldn't be the most talented in the NCAA, but it would be solid... and considering the rest of the roster, I think "solid" would be all we really need. Especially considering behind TG and Spencer, would be CJ Gunn and Jakai Newton. Not as if we'd be totally devoid of athleticism/length/depth. 

IF... we land a combo guard who opts out of the NBA draft process, it will be hard not to have sky high hopes/expectations.  

Maybe it's Woodson/the staff, maybe its the NIL environment/support from Dolson, maybe its the transfer portal.... IDK... I'm just glad we're not trying to get excited for Grant Gelon/Jeremiah April kinds of pick ups anymore.

I've never understood what was going on during those times. Had the coaching staff gotten lazy? Were they getting that many doors slammed in their faces? So many head-scratching decisions.

I really hope so!  I think he is exactly what CMW and staff needs to round out this roster.  He is better than anyone left right now.  The only way they don’t look at this guy is if they have someone lined up from the NBA combine that will enter the portal one he is done.  But I would try to get this guy because a guy in the combine still isn’t a guarantee

I am not clear on the transfer rules but I think it is one of these two scenarios:  you can enter the portal if you just finished up classes and are officially a graduate student.  Or it maybe you can enter the portal anytime but after the deadline you have to sit out unless you are a grad student.

If staff is really waiting on someone to back out of the draft it has to be a graduate transfer right? I just don’t see any other option. So on that note, give me another Northwestern transfer and bring in Audige lol. I think that’s a less than 1% chance.

I think it was a combination of a few things:

1) Striking out on their top priorities without a real backup plan.

2) Crean looking for the next Wade or Oladipo, although not necessarily to that extreme. Basically, under the radar guys he could turn into good basketball players.
