Big portal addition in Oregon St sophomore guard Jordan Pope https://x.com/tiptonedits/status/177...429-7Zsp1zj4Tg

Headed to Texas. There was prior mention on BCJ of possible UC interest here, but never saw them formally mentioned.

UC has expressed interest in Butler's D.J. Davis https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/sta...00829324177435

The 6'1 guard from California transferred in from UC Irvine this year (so he was not teammates with Simas). Averaged 13.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists. Was Butler's 3rd-leading scorer.

Washington -- Big Ten...

Jeff Borzello, ESPN:

Jacksonville State guard KyKy Tandy has entered the transfer portal, per source. Averaged 17.8 points and shot 38.9% from 3-point range this past season. Named first-team All-Conference USA. Spent four years at Xavier before transferring to Jacksonville State.

Horizon POY Trey Townsend (Oakland) just committed to Arizona over Ohio State -- welcome to the Big 12

[GoBearcats31]

Omaha Biliew into the portal. We offered Biliew out of HS and he choose Iowa St where he didn’t see the court much. Has 3 years left.

Wake Forest

Would Aziz want to compete with an elite center? If we brought in an elite center, I'd bet Aziz would hit the transfer portal the next day. Having two high level starter type players at the same position is just about impossible in the transfer portal age. Especially at center where there are always lots of teams looking for high level starters.

Exactly what I was thinking. Roll with Aziz, he knows the offense already.

Are we in contact with either? I'd take the first one to commit if we have offers, maybe find a "2nd slot" if two want to commit. Would an elite Center want to compete with an established starter (Aziz).

We're not in contact with either them as far as I know. Wishful thinking on my part. Could we be in contact with them at point? Sure, but you're correct in that they would not want to compete with Aziz, even if they were better. Onyenso's only been in the portal since this morning so...

We're getting down to the end of this thing. Portal window closes May 1.

UK's Ugonna Onyenso is in the portal. Might be headed to Arkansas but he's now the top rim protector in the portal. Might be wise to target him or Ogbakko if Sean Stewart doesn't pan out

TCU is adding Noah Reynolds of Green Bay - First Team all-Horizon League this year (20.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds per game)

TCU also adding Brendan Wenzel, a productive player at Wyoming https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...brendan-wenzel

This is taken out of context.

I misread an earlier post. This poster was not suggesting Jamille was a 5 star recruit or thinking he was.

You're right. I was in no way suggesting he was.
