NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Quick reminder that a lot of players won't be making portal announcements until late in the portal window.  Would not be a good thing if we did our shopping too early and missed out on some potentially better options.

I thought it was a nuclear surfboard!

 There goes Happy, heading for the cash machine! Oh yeah, he's gonna get himself another linebacker! That guy's got the best players money can buy!

My scoop for the morning.

Look for Cupps to be a transfer citing lack of structure at IU from coaching staff. (He won’t cite that but that will be the reason)

I am not Cupps biggest fan, that’s for sure, but I’d imagine McNeely’s family citing much the same things.

For the love of all things, this is ugly.

Even if you’re down on him, that would be a blow considering he’d still be a solid backup pg next year even if we brought in a good portal pg , and we really struggled to land depth pieces at guard. 

[Demo]

My favorite player in the portal so far. Smart. Good shooter. Really clever finishing around the rim. Takes care of the ball. Defends.  Watched him have a really good game against Mo St. Played for Casey Alexander, who’s a terrific coach. Plus, has 2 years left.

Hope whatever players we get in the portal that we don’t misdirect anger we have with Woodson toward them.

My blame is 100% on Woodson, the coaching staff, and the AD.

[RaceToTheTop]

Jordan Ivy-Curry, 6'3" Texas San-Antonio guard.  Past season averaged 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3 assists.  Shot 40/39/80.  

[RaceToTheTop]

Keyon Menifield, 6'1" guard.  Played freshman year at Washington, past season at Arkansas.  Averaged 9.4 pts, 2.6 reb, and 2.6 assists over two years.  40/33/71 shooter over two years.

[RaceToTheTop]

Deon Perry, 5'8" guard from Loyala-Maryland.  17.3 pts, 2.9 ast, 2.6 reb.  38/38/91 shooter the past two years.  Bulk three point shooter, making 153 of 402 over 62 games the past two years.

I hope not. He was not very good this year, but neither was Trey Galloway as a freshman. We need to be able to develop kids like him into contributors as upperclassmen.

A blank check for Booker? lol

On second thought, wasting a ton of money on a player like that would be a good way to ensure Woodson gets canned after (or during) next season.

Isiah Miranda wouldn't be that bad of an option as an athletic big

There might be a downside somewhere, but I'm not seeing it.

Nevermind, found it, Booker does well and ensures a Woodson extension.

If Storr leaves and doesn’t end up in Champaign I’ll be floored. A natural fill-in for TSJ (different games, but the production is similar enough) an hour from his hometown, but he’ll have some gigantic offers.

That 5'8" size scares me a little when it comes to playing the bigger guards in the B10
