2022 Transfer Portal Megathread

[bearcatbret]

I have said since the one and done days began, I believe that I would prefer 4-year players that grow, mature, become good players. It is part of being a fan to attach oneself to our Bearcat players and watch them. One and done leave and leave without leaving a mark. The transfer portal just put the one and done on steroids. If you don't play, transfer. It is a lot easier than working hard, improving your game, sticking it out until it is your turn. Enough rambling. A history lesson to the younger guys, Huggs used to get criticized for going the Juco route until he proved it would work. Once proven, other coaches started going after the Jucos. Until there were no more Jucos. Good night all.

Kentucky sophomore Dontaie Allen announces he’s entering the transfer portal. Averaged 5.4 points in 22 games as a freshman, shot nearly 40% from 3. Appeared in 19 games this season.

Not sure if he's any good. From Falmouth, KY which looks not terribly far from Cincinnati. Former 4-star 2019 recruit. 6'6.

Dontaie Allen would be a great get, he can shoot. Didnt get a whole lot of minutes at kentucky, reminds me a little of johnny juzang..

Plenty of guys continue to hit the portal, but haven't seen a ton of notable names

Sam Griffin, who averaged double figures at Tulsa this season, is in the portal https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...94/sam-griffin

LSU guard Brandon Murray transferring, big bodied guard averaged 10 pts a game, think he was a freshman this year. Former 4 star prospect.

[GoBearcats31]

Michael Durr, a 7-footer from Atlanta, in the portal. Was the back up center at Indiana and didn't play much, but he did average 8.8 and 7.9 as a junior at USF two seasons ago. He wasn't very good at IU, but with one year of eligibility and previous "success" in the AAC, perhaps the staff (and it's connections in the south) would consider.

Perhaps if there is a good news side of the portal it would be that coach's such as Calipari who love to load their rosters up with 4 and 5 star recruits and cant get five to gel will make recruits think longer and harder about going to these "elite" type of schools. If my chances of playing are slim to none going to a Duke or a UK, and not making any bank in my NIL, I think I'd be more careful on my original choice. Here's hoping this portal scenario evens things up after its been in use for awhile and no longer a novelty.

Lot of chatter the Lsu kids may follow the Wade assistant who is evidently going to join Georgetown's staff. Who knows, short term fix for Ewing's issues.

[Geaux Juan]

Xavier Pinson .

Nope - you know the rules!

Can someone whose pay grade is far above that of mine explain to me how this would be considered as "fair" or balanced. To have in essence an entire team (2 or more players) from the same team transfer / follow a coach / coach's wholesale, so to speak, to another and same school? I would think that tampering, or i.e.. scheming deliberate planning and implementation is definitely involved! If there is any way possible for despicable people to abuse the system for nefarious ways they are sure going to do it. Someone else in another thread has already said it but its bears repeating, these new changes ( transfer portal and NIL ) are going to change college athletics and its not for the better.
