He’s a Race Thompson. Maybe a little tougher. I like him but we don’t need him. Dawson Garcia is a different story.

If I had to pick between John and Race, I’d probably lean Theo John, but they play similarly.

John is a lot tougher.  He is a freight train that has 0 interest in shooting outside shots.  He has the better post game then Race.   He is from Minny so I’m guessing Race and him know each other really well. One of the reason Garcia picked Marquette was his friendship with John.  One of the most ripped college kids I watched last year

  "One of the most ripped college kids I watched last year "

This is what USPS was referring to in terms of John being ripped.  He's strong enough to defend the 5 desite being 6'9".

He's a big kid...didn't get much run as a freshman, but another intriguing big.

Foreshadowing to Timme coming back and Chet picking the Zags would be my guess.   Same reason Kessler went to Auburn

The transfer list now stands at 1,369 names, 288 of them coming out of the six basketball power conferences.  Was at 730 names on this day last year.

Over 700 now in the women's portal.

That's incredible. Definitely "recruiting" the transfer portal is going to be more and more of a focus going forward...

Those numbers are mind boggling. I listened to Dakich yesterday, and Seth Greenburg was one of the guests. Greenburg expected there would be a second wave in the transfer portal after August (if NCAA doesn't set a cutoff date) when teams go through summer training/practices. Some kids would find they don't like about their new homes and would be ready to jump ships again.

Agree.....There has to be a official cut off. Sort of like, ....if you miss it, you are officially on the team and no more transfer privileges.If not, it will be an absolute cluster ----.

Considering the number of seniors with an extra year of eligibility transferring, I wouldn't be surprised if not every transfer finds a spot at a D1 school. I expect there will be lots of transfers in years to come but maybe not as many as this year which is kind of an anomaly with the extra year of eligibility given.

The rule has now passed (or is even closer to doing so) and there is a cutoff. This year it is July 1 and and going forward it will be May 1.

https://www.si.com/college/2021/04/14/ncaa-transfers-rule-change-football-basketball

From the article:

"The new rule would allow all athletes to move freely at least once, though it includes some stipulations. Athletes must submit to their school a notification of transfer by certain dates to be immediately eligible at their next location. Fall- and winter-sport athletes would have to notify their schools by May 1, and spring sport athletes would have until July 1. However, because of the timing of the Council’s decision, the fall and winter sports’ notification date will be pushed this summer to July 1—a quasi-deadline day in the college sports world similar to those in professional leagues."

I think Johnson is going to have the second biggest impact on this team after TJD.

Any numbers right now on the number of players in the transfer portal who have not committed yet?  Seems like lately they number of players in the portal who are committing compared to those who are just entering is leaning heavy toward those committing.

De'Vion Harmon, 6'2" guard from Oklahoma, enters the portal.  Second leading scorer for the Sooners, averaged 13 points, 3 1/2 rebounds, and 2 assists.  Shot 48% from the field and 33%.  Team mate Alondes Williams also joined the transfer pool; averaged 7 points and 3 rebounds in 19 minutes.  6'5" wing -- not known for shooting.
