NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

[Class of '66 Old Fart 90,719]

College Football Transfer Portal and College Transfer Portal are the same Twitter account.  It's the same person tweeting and apparently inter-mixing the Twitter handles.   Also note the avatar's are the same.

The College Transfer Portal account reports he's headed to Florida.

Ewww...gross.

Edit; considering he played with a collection of train wrecks, his numbers were not bad at all last year. He certainly knows how to deal with adversity lol.

Assume this is due diligence should Johnson not receive a waiver. Don’t really see the fit otherwise.

PSA.  I think the line from Wizard of Oz sums up how you should view any tweets from the above  --  Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Big on making predictions some of which will occasionally prove accurate, i.e. random chance theory.  Those that don't pan out reportedly mysteriously disappear from twitterverse.  I'd take any such predictions with a grain of salt until I saw multiple confirmations from the old standby sources.

This was already called over 24 hours ago by another Twitter account that people dismissed 

as I said, it appears a done deal based on instagram. Got to think like a 20 year old 

I think that other account also said Bronny James would commit to USC yesterday and it didn't happen.

Very true. I bet that is still accurate and coming soon though. 

I do get a feeling he will end up right. Would be interesting to know who tipped him off. That was 3 very specific guys. You could say 2 were a good guess but to call all 3 means he was told something. 

my guess is one of the 3 is talking. They would all 3 have hear each others plans and they have all 3 been communicating. 

I went and looked and that tweet about James looked like it was deleted.

I'd like to hear Knect is going to Indiana so we know we have a scorer coming in.

[JSHoosier 22,212]

We know Ware is announcing soon and IU was his only visit since he canceled the Bama visit after visiting IU.  Ledlum I could see announcing soon if he was really sold, although that's been pretty quiet.  So 2 of 3.

I don't see Deloach announcing soon since he hasn't visited yet, unless soon means over a week.  Not sure he'd be a need with Ware (hypothetically for now), Reneau and Sparks in the fold although he is athletic.

It does seem to me like he's scouring the twitterverse and then throwing out other people's theories they tweeted as his 'sources'.  We've already seen one guy tweet that Ware, Ledlum, and DeLoach were all going to commit to IU and then afterwards the Transfer Portal account tweets them out separately.  

That said:

Zagoria is a solid source and said the Ware decision would come Tuesday.  Ware cancelled his visit to Indiana and to our knowledge only visited IU.  The only other possibility I could see would be Arkansas since it's near home and he was recruited by them earlier, but I think if he were in love with Arkansas he would have committed there in the first place.

Ledlum?  That one seems to be pretty tight lipped.  I do expect it comes down to Indiana and St. John's.

DeLoach has a visit scheduled this weekend and had an at home visit from Florida State Thursday.  He had indicated previously that he probably would not decide until late April to early May.  His comments haven't really indicated any preference -- San Diego State has playing time available, Indiana is the basketball 'Mecca', his brother goes to Florida State....his decision likely is going to be based more on the landscape toward the end of April.

I agree it kind of looks like that's what he did, but I do think it's a bit gutsy to tag the players in the tweet the way he did.

The anonymity of the internet gives one guts, I guess.

Pretty sure Arkansas does not have any spots left after Tramon Mark committing 

EDIT: they have 1 left, but it looks it’s about to be taken by Khalif Battle or Watkins

Eh, I wouldn't have tagged them the way he did if I was making it up.

Granted I can't say I would've tagged them if I wasn't making it up because I'd imagine they want their moment instead of some guy on Twitter blabbing it.

Black will almost certainly go and Walsh might. If they want Ware, they’ll fit him in.

Obvious, but very good pick-up for Rhodes...PSU now has three (3) scholarship players, at least Baldwin will make their games interesting by bringing toughness and intensity.

They do have an issue with where he would fit, though, given that Trevon Brazille announced he was coming back last Thursday and they already have and they are bringing in a top 20 player in Baye Fall whose game seems pretty similar to Ware's.  One of the Mitchell brothers entered the portal but the other has not.  Jalen Graham also announced he's coming back, so that another player at the 4.

Three days ago the Best of Arkansas stated that Arkansas basketball had now officially contacted 83 players in the portal.  I know they hosted a couple of wings over the weekend including Temple's Khalif Battle, so it wouldn't surprise me if Black goes if they try to fill that spot with Battle.

Just my opinion, nothing else, but I could certainly see Ware being in a numbers issue at Arkansas.  Even with Mack committing I think their more immediate issue is with wings.

Thinking about it;

If…IF Ledlum joins to play the three, Ellis might be a better fit than Knecht. Ellis is a 1/2 combo, and Knecht might have trouble guarding the two (or anyone) very well.
