2022 Transfer Portal Megathread

[Lobot]

Mekhel and Makhi Mitchell are in the portal from URI. They were on Cronin’s radar years ago. 6’10 and 6’9 twins

[Lobot]

Illinois guard Andre Curbelo, the 2021 Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year as a freshman into the portal. He was decent this year, just didn't make a leap. Was on all the preseason watch lists.

Also into the portal, ECU guard Tristen Newton, who averaged 17.7/4.8/5.0

I think you go get Curbelo. He can play. Sat the 2nd half of the NCAA game they lost for some unknown reason. Coach's decision.

Below is a list of potential transfers previously mentioned in this thread as having heard from UC. It does not mean the UC interest is strong, it does not mean the interest is or was mutual, or any of that. If anyone else wants to insert stats, height, how many years of eligibility left, etc., be my guest!


Dontaie Allen, Kentucky
Trevon Brazile, Missouri
Kalu Ezikpe, Old Dominion
Xavier Foster, Iowa State (sort of)
Brayon Freeman, GW
Jaelin Llewellyn, Princeton
Selton Miguel, Kansas State
Brandon Murray, LSU
Sam Sessoms, Penn State
Payton Sparks, Ball State
Erik Stevenson, South Carolina
Alex Tchikou, Alabama
Lance Terry, Gardner Webb
Jeremiah Williams, Temple

Looks like Dontaie Allen from UK is on our radar as well.

Travis Branham (247):

Kentucky transfer Dontaie Allen has heard from Xavier, Wisconsin, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, WKU, Cincinnati, Louisville, Virginia, Northern Kentucky, Furman and Tennessee State amongst others

Sam McNeil, a senior guard at West Virginia (12.2 ppg) and Union, KY native into the portal. Not sure he makes sense at UC if he's looking to start, but worth a look at a local. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...06/sean-mcneil

It will be a long thread if all 900 kids that hit the portal are mentioned.

One year guy from IU, Parker Stewart, been to several programs, but can score the ball.

Purdue junior Isaiah Thompson, a guard from the Indy area, is in the portal. Has decent numbers, but I imagine he could make a bigger impact when he's getting more mins https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...saiah-thompson

So.. question for this thread... How can we... maybe it's not possible.... filter this a bit by requiring SOME hint that the player has interest in UC. With the flood of entries into the portal, UC will be telling tons of players, "hey.. here's our number if you are interested".... which really is only a one-way street. Without some "hint" of two-way interest, I don't know how this thread doesn't just become a laundry list of players.

I realize there’s a lot going on in here but I also never intended it to be just about UC targets. If a Xavier starter or a key player from Memphis or Houston, for example, hits the portal then I’m probably including it.

Any legitimate targets will presumably get their own threads.

So I’d recommended people just scroll up and back to see all updates because I intend to keep providing anything relevant and of interest

Murray State point guard Justice Hill entered the transfer portal. First-team All-Ohio Valley selection, averaged 13.4 points, 5.1 assists and shot 35.8% from 3.
