Guy I mentioned in the IU thread entered as well —Alabama’s Mohammed Wague.  3.1 pts and 2.5 reb in 8.5 minutes, 7’1”.

UCF’s Thierno Sylla as well — stretch big.  Didn’t shoot it that well this year but still has put up respectable three point numbers for a guy his size — 31% from three in his freshman and sophomore years.  4.3 pts and 3.9 reb in 14 mpg this year.

Yesterday Carlton Linguard of Texas-San Antoni entered.  Played two years at Kansas state but didn’t play much.  7’.  At UTSA this year averaged 9.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in 25 mpg.  Stretch 5, almost half his shots were threes. Shot 42/31/79 this year, making 38 of 124 from three.  1.5 blocks/game.

In other words, if Goode signs on, we’ve got one back up spot to fill and tons and tons of options that might fit.

There are definitely options, but there are 300+ division 1 teams filling spots.  So we're like everyone else in that respect -- however I think it was Trilly Donovan (or Ant Wright) that said the other day that the run on bigs signing was slowing down while guards were heating up.  So a lot of the the P5 teams have already filled their bigs.

@Uspshoosier just posted this Borzello tweet and it has immediate implications for this year's cycle of portal recruiting.  Grad transfers are now bound by being in the portal by May 1.

NCAA never ceases to amaze the legislation they approve that will get struck down in court.  Formally approving a closing of the portal for grad transfers 9 days from now?

Our one time Finnish target, Miro Little at Baylor, has entered the portal.  Believe we sent Dane Fine to Finland to see him.

Trey Townsend (Oakland) commits to Arizona.  6'6" forward, 17.3 pts, 8.1 reb, 3.1 ast.  Shot 46/38/78.  Was thought to be an Ohio State lean.

Another Evansville big in the portal -- Yacine Toumi.  6'10", averaged 10.8 points and 6.5 rebounds.

[RaceToTheTop]

Supreme Cook, 6'9" center from Georgetown, enters. 10.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg in 27 mpg.  First three seasons at Fairfield.

Kyky Tandy,6'2" shooting guard, Jacksvonille State.  17.8 points, 2.6 reb, 1.4 ast.  Shot 42/39/88, bulk three point shooter.  Previously played at Xavier for four seasons (injured one season) where he was a bench player.

I would get Cook just for the name

Matt Cross is going to visit Iowa and Wisconsin so he may actually end up in the B1G. I remember how much Miller wanted him.

Miami, Louisville, then U Mass.  hit the portal this year and committed somewhere — don’t recall where — then devommitted when the coach left.

Yeah, he's been all over the place. IIRC, he moved around in HS a lot too. Get the "one foot out the door" vibe from him. I'm not upset that Miller missed on him.

Couple of bigs entered today.  I know nothing at all about them but on the surface both sound like a backup role would be acceptable.

BYU big man Atiki Ally Atiki will enter the transfer portal, a source tells @247SportsPortal. 43 inch vertical and averaged 14pts 10rebs per 40 this year.

Washington senior Braxton Meah has officially entered the Transfer Portal @On3sports has learned The 7-1 center averaged 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds this season/

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/braxton-meah-1.html

I like the Meah kid. Pick and roll rim runner and moves well for someone that is 7'1. Horrible FT shooter though

This guy per Trilly which is an ovehype by him in my mind. Great player but was expecting bigger based on the tweet.

Norchad Omier. Will never forget how strong he looked pushing TJD around. I remember we couldn’t grab a board to save our lives down there. Don’t know what he is listed at but looks like 6’5. All Charles Barkley team.

That’s gonna be  a difference-maker for somebody. Kid never takes a play off.

Outstanding player.

Without a doubt. Putting him on a team with a few dynamic guards makes you a contender imo. I mean that’s exactly what Miami did with him, but now he is probably even better and can pick which guards he wants to play with. Doesn’t need a single play ran for him ever and will still impact every trip down the court.

Tyreek Smith, SMU. 6’8”. Rim protector.  8.2 pts, 5.4 reb and 1.7 blocks in 19 mpg.  Previously at Texas Texh and Oklahoma State.

Wooga Poplat, 6’4” guard, Miami.  13 pts, 5 reb, 2 ast
