2022 Transfer Portal Megathread

[leo from jersey]

tOSU safety Andre Turrentine is in the portal. He has 4 years and his old coach is now in Clifton. He is from Nashville though. Was a 4 star coming out of HS.

ESPN's Jeff Borzello: College hoops expecting [...] a potential late surge of names into the portal before the May 1 deadline. Some coaches hoping some impact names hit the portal, other coaches hoping to just keep their rosters intact. Should be an interesting week.

Ugh, ugh, and UGH. I am truly happy for each individual player who can transfer and play without sitting. It's not different than when a coach leaves for a better opportunity. I am also glad that a player can capitalize on his/her own NIL. My problem with the current transfer portal NIL bidding war is that players are making way over true marketability value and in some case only getting an NIL deal because of signing without doing the extra work to market a product. The system is broken and will be hard to fix, but a fix has to come soon.

On potential transfer Landers Nolley, didn't realize he was at Virginia Tech two years (redshirted his first year), so while he's played three seasons between VT and Memphis: A) he would appear to have two years of eligibility left, and B) he might be eligible as a grad transfer, not that I've seen his transcripts and know how close he is to a degree.

Nolley would be a huge recruit/transfer for Wes

Sean McNeil has committed to OSU per his Twitter feed.

OSU (and Purdue) just got outbid by Miami yesterday for Nijel Pack, so I'll cut OSU a little slack.

OSU isn't returning many pieces next year, so probably more PT to offer.

I don't think they really wanted (tOSU) as he only got 800,000 and a car. Drop in the bucket at Columbus. Does UC have a chance?

a 12.2 ppg would get playing time in most backcourts. Would have liked to see him an UC uniform. I just wonder where this is headed.

Nolley has arrived in Cincinnati

[coach]

I'd much rather have Nolley than McNeil. Much bigger kid who can create shots, and a better defender. Hope they can pull this off. I give them credit for going for it.

He went to the high bidder it seems. tOSU - well also the BIG. It is hard to compete for these double digit scorers right now. Of course I wonder what Huggs is thinking.

As mentioned previously:

- Rob Phinisee (IU - one year of eligibility) expected to visit UC today and tomorrow
- Sean McNeil (WVU - one year of eligibility) expected to visit UC Thursday

Nolley visited NC State sometime around Easter and that staff is contacting him regularly. Nolley said that visit was awesome. He loved the campus and the way the coaches described his potential role.

[GoBearcats31]

Didn’t realize Nolley listed as a 6’7 SG. Not sure exactly where that puts him but DeJulius is really the only lock for a starting spot. Comfortable with adding talent and moving some guys around the lineup/rotation.

[coach]

Evidently he's scheduled to graduate from Memphis end of this semester so he wouldn't need a waiver given he has transferred once already from VT to Memphis. He'd be a nice get given his experience and skill set. We'll see.
