2024 NCAA Transfer Portal Megathread

[Lobot]

Great Osobor, who we weren't chasing, has committed to Washington. This is notable because they broadcasted his NIL money totals. He's got 2 Million in deals lined up. This is the kind of money some of these guys are getting in the form of NIL endorsement contracts and collective deals.

Per @ThePortalScoop, UC among many to reach out to 6’9 UT-Martin grad transfer Issa Muhammad

Tonight, Chad Brendel said that he has heard from his contacts that, of the three official visits that TX PF Dillon Mitchell has taken thus far, UC made the strongest impression. However, there is a supply-and-demand problem right now regarding quality players, especially big men. More than half of P4 teams have two or more roster openings, but there just aren't enough top players left to fill all of the holes. The Tarheels are trying to get him on campus, and Mitchell plans to visit Auburn.

The players (and their agents) know they have the advantage and are holding out to see what else can develop. I wouldn't expect any key UC target, such as Mitchell, to commit just yet.

that means nothing until the NILs are compared.

Are we getting close to adding anyone?

They last made the NCAA tournament in 1996 under John Beilein.

That's a fun tidbit. I didn't know Beilein started there.

Ole Miss big man Moussa Cisse has entered the transfer portal, a source tells @LeagueRDY.

Cisse is a former 5 star recruit who began his career at Memphis before spending two seasons at Oklahoma State and then one at Ole Miss.

He averaged 4.5PPG, 4.6RPG and 1.4BPG last season.

Cisse back to Memphis

Former Cincinnati high school standout Paul McMillan IV will be making his third stop in as many years after he committed to Canisius College earlier this afternoon.

The 6'2 guard averaged 8.3 ppg at Central Michigan last season and 5.8 ppg at NJIT as a true freshman.

Canisius was 14-18 last season and finished 9th in the 11-team MAAC. They last made the NCAA tournament in 1996 under John Beilein.

Kansas State adding Cal State Fullerton senior Max Jones, who averaged 15.3 ppg

One time 2023 target George Washington III (Michigan) is transferring to Richmond.

Good to see George Washington find a home in Virginia.

Supposedly UC may have been in touch with Atiki Ally Atiki, a 6'10 Tanzanian senior-to-be from BYU (and likely member of the All-Name Team). Numbers aren't great, but UC could use a body and wouldn't be terrible for one year if that is the best they can do.

Triple A averaged 4.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.5 block per game in 11 minutes per game this year. He played in 11 Big 12 games, averaging 2.3 and 1.2 in 7.0 minutes (his best outing was 6 and 3 in 10 mins at Kansas State). His three year averages are 3.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 58.5% from FT (but only 11/24 this past season) in 12.2 minutes per game over 88 games.

Committed to New Mexico

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.

Tandy to Florida Atlantic

[GoBearcats31]

UCF with a nice add in Jordan Ivy-Curry from UTSA -- averaged 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists this year. Should have one year left.

[Lobot]

Apparently we've had contact with Jaykwon Walton's agent (really?).

Hard pass. Dude caught a gun and pot charge and has been committed to at about 6 schools at some point in his career.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

The staff is looking at Achor Achor, a 6'9 PF from Samford.

But, is there mutual interest?
