    2023 NCAA Transfer Portal Megathread

    "And Here. We. Go." - Jon Rothstein, quoting the late Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight, circa 2008


    I don't think the transfer portal is technically open until next Mondays, but guys whose teams have been eliminating are starting to announce their intent to go portaling. And we have our first known UC contact:

    Brown University guard Paxson Wojcik
    - 6-foot-5, 200-pound lefty out of Charleston (S.C.)
    - Averaged 14.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game for the Bears this year
    - Shot 38% from 3 this past year, but under 69% from FT line
    - One year of eligibility left (played two years at Loyola Chicago, two years at BU)
    - Has heard from UC and others, per the below 247 article

    Source: The D-1 Council was also informed the overwhelming majority of the second-time undergrad transfers thus far have been denied waivers. There were exceptions, but minimal. Many of them that have been ruled on thus far were football, but it doesn’t bode well for those trying in basketball.

    I fully expect Jizzle will see a lot of PT.
    I hope so too, but don't want to count on freshmen at the point.

    If he had waited a couple hours he would had a spot at Bama. Jahvon Quinerley just went in the portal as a grad transfer on June 25th.

    He may not have had another alternative.

    Unless someone currently holding a scholarship leaves, or in the very unlikely event that CWM pulls a scholarship, UC cannot add anyone. Whether Bandaogo and/or Reynolds have to sit out a year or not is irrelevant, as they currently have scholarships, which will not magically disappear during a sit-out year.

    I agree here. Unless an opening unexpectedly opens up I would not want to jeopardize any team chemistry that has already been established to be upset. I like the team as it is made up right now.

    With the system CWM runs I think Dae Dae and JJ will be able to handle the point by the time conference play begins.

    You could say that about any player. 🙄

    Bringing in an experienced mentor for 1 year and challenging DaeDae to beat him out should be a good effect. Jizzle shouldn't be counted on to see the floor that much, so if he earns it, great.

    I more worry about the affect it would have on Thomas and James.

    I hope not, and was fairly confident Johnny will get an additional year for medical redshirt. Until we learn if all transfers don't have to sit a year, we cannot look at any other player should Kriisa become an option for Wes.

    Agreed with Lobot that Kriisa might be only a one year filler, and I hope we don't develop into a culture of "pushing people out" for the flavor of the month. fingers crossed Newman gets his redshirt year, the 2 time transfers are eligible next year, and we stand pat with what looks to be a significantly upgraded roster. Newman has been prominently featured in all the offseason workout pics, so hopefully that is an optimistic sign-we could use an experienced wing defender next year.

    Cincinnati was prominently involved earlier and doubt they are now. Unless they have been given insight into Newman's status. We were in pursuit of KK prior to signing the three that we did.
