2024 NCAA Transfer Portal Megathread

[red_n_black_attack]

Last night, Chad Brendel mentioned that, after the Hickman and Page commitments, the staff are weighing their options for the remaining open slot. He expects that there will be no further announcements this week.

Does anyone know is Kerr Kriisa is keeping his scheduled visit for today, 4/17?

I guess there is no reason to rush right now unless the perfect player for the staff is available and someone they can get.

At this point, seems like 12 of the 13 spaces are accounted for (assuming CJF returns), though last year at this time Mika Adams-Woods was slated to return then things changed. Also, in this new era, you are probably not limited 13 scholarships per se (with NIL money money covering someone not officially on scholarship) but I don't love the idea of carrying an extra player like that -- hard enough to keep 13 guys happy with playing time; now try 14.

I think it would have to be a super sweet NIL deal for a player to give a large chunk to the university for room/board and classes they may not care much about. I'd look for the 13 scholarship thing to stay in tact informally, though technically someone with a 7-8 figure NIL deal could choose to "walk-on", I think there is a status symbol attached unfairly to walk-on players versus scholarship.

Best info I can find is post SJU visit a few days ago and he did not commit, so I'm assuming it's on. Nothing on the social side to indicate either way. It's not going to surprise me if he double dips on this visit and gets in some time at XU.

Tyler Bilodeau from Oregon St is on the radar for the coaches. 6'9 Multipositional big man. Would have 2 years remaining.

My hope if not for a pure floor leader although Connor H. is said to make few mistakes, is to get a guy with more than one year and if he is productive, keep him.

Yohan Traore is in the portal 6’11 C that’s a former UC target . 5 star that started at Auburn and is currently at UC Santa Barbara.

UC among the many to reach out to Yohan Traore https://twitter.com/247HSHoops/statu...84516773773355

6'11 C from France who averaged 14.5 points and 5.1 rebounds this year as a sophomore. Surprisingly has not blocked many shots.

Warrick visiting Missouri this weekend, per The Portal Report

Sounds like NKU's Warrick is likely Missouri bound. Cannot say UC would have gotten him, but I imagine their pursuit ended when they took Hickman -- who probably fits the roster best anyways.

UPDATE -- Marques Warrick has committed to Mizzou

Someone told me today unofficially he is not visiting. I'd be surprised any more players would be added in the backcourt.

I'm ok with that. Doesn't seem like a good fit to me.

Intriguing name - 6'6 senior from Indianapolis who played two at Louisville and two at Seton Hall - COVID year (one year) left)

@jeffborzello
Seton Hall senior Dre Davis plans to enter the transfer portal, sources told ESPN. Averaged 15.0 points and 5.9 rebounds this season. Was terrific in the Pirates’ run to an NIT title, scoring 18 points in the championship game win over Indiana State.

Ole Miss for DD

I think we should hold out for a premier player.....a difference maker, regardless of position. Go for the gusto!

[Carthage World]

Recent Big 12 portal entrants include UCF's 4th-leading scorer Marchelus Avery and TCU's 4th-leading scorer JaKobe Coles.

Coles commits to Grand Canyon.

Kansas adds A.J. Storr -- a Wisconsin guard ranked among the top 10 or so transfers.

Jayhawks may be loaded next season.

Maybe. I think the guys they've brought in are overrated. All three are negative defenders and only Mayo is an efficient scorer.
