NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

[mike vannice]

Not sure where to put this but just curious. Do we have anyone on the look out for foreign bigs. There seems to be a huge influx of international players joining the college ranks due to NIL $$$. Maybe one who is 7' 0" and rebound ,block shots and rim run.

Brandon Huntley- Hatfield, 6’10” from NC State enters portal. Was a 5-star prospect out of high school. In 26 mpg last season averaged 7.2 ppg, 5 rpg on 50/33/80 shooting. 
The year before he played 31 mpg averaging 13 and 8 on 57/43/67 shooting.

1 year remaining

NC State must've played a lot of small ball, none of their bigs logged major minutes.

He would not have a year remaining.  Put him in the group of players entering the portal hoping a lawsuit gives them another year.

You are correct. User error 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

These last 36 hours of the portal are going to be loaded with players who have no eligibility left and are hoping on a wing and a prayer they'll get a 5th year by some last minute NCAA decision or a court.

Jai Lucas is really doing some work down at Miami

He’s played 30+ games the last 4 years lmao never mind unless something crazy were to happen i guess 

He'd be a fan favorite though. 

Is it possible that coaches know something we don't about the court case. 

It's a helluva gamble. Brzovic, Shefflin, Lampkin,,,any one of them would be a major get for us.

It's doubtful the coaches would have a better idea of how a judge would rule than any of us.

I suspect that coaches will concentrate on guys they know have eligibility left.

Minny’s Dawson Garcia in the portal. He’s already played 5 years of college, but what the hell, right? 

[Magisterium]

now in portal: 6’ 8” power forward Haris Elezovic from West Virginia University. Originally from Montreal. Potential bench depth at IU?

He could be our 2nd Haris (Haris Mujezinovic)!

Played his first two years at FSU. His minutes at FAU just about matched his minutes per game his sophomore year at FSU, but his numbers almost doubled playing at a lower level of completion.

Goodman-

Arkansas guard Boogie Fland is expected to enter the transfer portal, source told @TheFieldOf68. Fland declared for the NBA Draft, but isn't a lock to go in the first round - and can likely make more money next season returning to college.

 

And that's just crap that this is what NIL has led to.

Another way of looking at it?

These kids may get a college degree and have more maturity before leaving because of the financial inducement to stay in college longer

I was trying to figure out where college becomes more appealing in terms of money, and I believe for 2nd rounders that aren’t confident they can get guaranteed deals (so they get stuck with a two way deal where they can be sent to the G-League), college hoops is often a better option.  Heck, with the rev share kicking up college values, if you aren’t a first rounder college is probably your best bet.

TJD managed to get a guaranteed deal in the second round and that was huge for him.
