2022 Transfer Portal Megathread

[GoBearcats31]

I anticipate this week, and today in particular, to be a popular week/day for many nationwide to start hopping into the portal. There have been plenty already, but more coming from the bigger programs.

Shane Dezonie in the portal. Former 4-star recruit had a quiet first year at Vanderbilt. I believe he was a big UC target at one time and initially committed to Arizona right when all the investigations were going on. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba.../shane-dezonie


4-star South Carolina freshman Devin Cater (9.0 ppg) https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...8/devin-carter in the portal

@jakelieberman2:

Gardner Webb transfer Lance Terry tells me that he's heard from Georgia Tech, FIU, Tulsa, Georgia, Oklahoma, Xavier, and Cincinnati. Terry is a 6'2 guard who averaged 14.3 points and shot 35% from three.

Travis Branham: George Washington transfer Brayon Freeman has already heard from Arizona State, Pittsburgh, DePaul, Cincinnati, St. Bonaventure, George Mason, Fordham and Iona, he tells @247SportsPortal. Averaged 10.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season as a true freshman.

With so many guys using the Covid year, and incoming freshman, many of the 820 will probably not find a new team.

Nobody seems to be committing either. Everyone I guess is waiting for their "dreamteam" to come calling and that means many are waiting for the tournament to be through.

UC has reached out to former 4-star 7 footer Xavier Foster (2020 recruit) who was kicked off of the Iowa State team after a brief stint, but since cleared / no longer a suspect in a 2020 sexual assault investigation

Warren Washington might be headed to Rutgers. Avergaged 10.5 and 6'6 with 1.2 blocks.

Samuel Williamson is in the portal from U of L . Former McDAA but hasn't put up much in numbers during college. 6'7 PF. Has one year plus a Covid year if he wants to use it.

[coach]

Sparks or the guy from Nevada Warren Washington would be my first target for a big kid. Sparks has more eligibility so I'd take him first if we were in the running. As always, big kids are tough to hunt in the portal. The coaching turnover so far hasn't been huge so not a lot of hs kids are opening up. Time will tell, but we will have some new front court guys, and definitely another pg. Availability which sometimes you cannot control is going to in large part dictate who we can land.

@insideportal;

Old Dominion transfer Kalu Ezikpe tells us he’s heard from LSU, Cincinnati, Western Kentucky, Georgia Tech and others since entering the transfer portal. Averaged 11, 7, 2 in his junior year

Ezikpe was a 3* talent per 247sports.com (#403 nationally; #19 in GA), with a lot of mid-major offers. Included were to UNCG in 2017, where he took an official visit before his senior year of HS.

@hoopscoopmedia:

Cincinnati transfer AJ McGinnis (@TheAJM2) tells us he has heard from Belmont, Drake, Boise State, Texas State, Furman, Wofford, UNCG, Jacksonville State, Arkansas State, Southern Miss, SIU, Lipscomb, NC Central, Elon, Radford, UTSA and others since entering the portal.

Honestly, this is closer to the level he should be competing at. Hopefully he can find the right spot and be a significant contributor.
