NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,191]

Portal season hasn't officially opened but it's been reported we've been in contact with Penn's Clark Slajchert.  In contact could be nothing more than hey Clark how was your breakfast this morning.  Does the fact that Trevor Andershock and Mike Schumann have both put out stories on Clark mean we're interested in more than what he had for breakfast?  I have no idea but Trevor expresses some reservations about his Ivy League game translating to B1G.  Maybe the basic question for our portal season is are we going to shop at Macy's or at Dollar Tree?

I have this horrible feeling we are going to try shopping at Macy's and when we don't get what we want we will then go overpay at Dollar Tree.

When I saw him play at Princeton, he had 10 points. He was 4-11 from the field, 3 assists and 3 TOs in 36 min of play. 

Now, Princeton are no slouches but I would say concerns about his game translating to the B10 are very legitimate. They play the game at a different speed, and Clark is not particularly fast at that level. At 6'1, I think if we're retaining Cupps he's a far better option. 

Fingers crossed we land some big fish.

Pepperdine junior Michael Ajayi plans to enter the transfer portal, he tells @On3sports. The 6-7 G/F averaged 17.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game this season. Shot 47% from three.

That is what I saw from a little tape I watched. He can definitely shoot but he lacks the athleticism to do too much in the Big Ten in my opinion.  Ant Wright put a a video breakdown of him and mentioned against P5 schools he had like 7 assists and 17 TOs...I hope we stay away from him, unless he is going to be like our 10th guy....

Could be Dollar Tree's bargain of the week.

Per Trilly, he is portaling. From South Bend. Haven't seem him play much yet but the stats certainly look interesting!

I remember the question was asked and answered but purely as a refresher, multi-time transfers have immediate eligibility,

stat line playing in the best conference in the country is pretty compelling.

Can’t be. Message boards had him as a lock.

Does Mike Boynton make it to conference play this year with a job?

If he doesn’t Javon small could come back to Indiana and fill that scholarship that’s collecting dust.  Pretty sure he is from the Indianapolis area.   Played at East Carolina before transferring to Oklahoma st

Yeah, that right there would be a mighty strong call.

First time watching St. Johns all year, when did Ledlum end up in Queens?? I thought he spurned IU for Tennessee. Looks pretty good.
