2022 Transfer Portal Megathread

[longtimefan]

IDK, I expect to see activity increase now that the tournament is over. If two weeks from now we’re not closer on some guys I’ll be surprised. New transfer commits have been going slow this year nationally, but that’s about to change too.

Chris Dortch on Twitter:

”It's important to note that starting this year, the NCAA deadline for transferring with immediate eligibility is May 1, not July 1 as it was last year. The next three weeks are going to be crazy, but that May 1 date is a huge help for coaches trying to finalize their rosters.”

Ezikpe is touring UC today. He's apparently the first portal entrant to do so.

Ezikpe is still in town and watched practice today.

I know the staff is working their tails off trying to fill our holes but if this is truly the first guy we could even get a visit from, that is very concerning. We are mentioned with just about everybody as being in contact but don't seem to be getting serious consideration from most. I hope that's not accurate and I realize its a very difficult juggling act but at some time you have to close off the list of candidates and close the deal with someone. We don't want to settle and just trade bodies comparable in talent to what we lost, but clearly we are struggling to appeal to the guys we want. The silence has been defening and I am not sure what other conclusions to draw.

Im thinking that its very slow in the decision process for many of these guys because of the tournament just now finished. The portal is full of recruits who just haven't made moves yet. With that being said If we dont see some decisions within a few days give or take then I would begin to be concerned

Two weeks from now it will all be over.

I think this guy could help us but it looks like he visited and didn't commit. Never a good sign if they get out of town. Everything I am reading indicates a Pitt lean. Lets hope not.

The suspense of all this is nerve racking! Lol

With UC probably looking for a PG, wonder if they'll contact this guy.

Charlotte guard Jahmir Young has entered the transfer portal, source told ESPN. First-team All-Conference USA selection this season, 6-foot-1 guard averaged 19.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

Good call by me :-)

ROTHSTEIN:
Charlotte transfer Jahmir Young is focused on the NBA Draft process, but is receiving interest from the following programs:
Cincinnati
Wake Forest
Kansas
Maryland
UConn
Kansas State
Gonzaga

VMI center Jake Stephens plans to enter the transfer portal, he told ESPN. Will be a graduate transfer. First-team All-SoCon selection. 19.6 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 3.3 APG — 6-foot-11 and shoots 49% from 3. Will be a highly sought-after transfer.
