NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

Trilly Donovan indicating that it is likely Ernest Udeh, Kansas big man and former burger boy, will transfer to Duke.

I find it genuinely interesting that we haven’t even heard much in the way of rumor this week regarding IU’s pursuit to use their final grant. We know they’ll do so, and there are some players in the portal they’ve pursued, but none who’ve visited: the Caleb Love Zoom call the first time ‘round, Tyrin Lawrence’s unrequited interest.

And of course Love is back on the board now, but other than sort of speculative “watch Mizzou and IU” sort of stuff there hasn’t been reported movement there.

If I had to venture a guess, there might be mutual interest with a combine prospect and they’re awaiting decision(s) after the withdrawal date, plus I’d imagine they might see if the distance between them and Love has changed in the last month (though I think @RaceToTheTop made a good case he probably lands somewhere where lots of shots and backcourt minutes are available).

Anyway, I’m confident there’s a plan — this offseason has gone better than anyone could’ve reasonably hoped, and in many ways talent begets talent. Just interesting that it’s been quiet, whether because they await combine decisions or are simply working low key and (a la Walker) maybe we’ll just learn day of that someone’s on campus. And even that interest had been rumored, via Trilly!

I think they will continue keeping their recruitments much quieter because of the Ledlum missed opportunity

Maybe. That worked just fine in the end, as he left a spot that became Mgbako’s. If anyone got burned by that it was someone whose name rhymes with Reff Jabjohns I think

They’re waiting for someone’s mom to call

Would Coach Woodson kick the tires on this guy?

I personally hope they're not interested in Love again. He's already turned IU down twice and he's a high risk type. It may have been worth taking that risk before Mgbako commitment  but now I think it's better to go with a safer yet still talented player.

Hard to imagine he wouldn’t unless they have a specific target in mind.

May not be bad, 43% from 3 on 5 attempts last year and 40% for his career.  Good FT shooter too.  2:1 assist to TO ratio.  Plus only 1 year left.

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.

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

DMV of Ohio

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.
