2024 NCAA Transfer Portal Megathread

[GoBearcats31]

Baylor being mentioned with a couple big portal names. Big 12 doing big things in portal season.

[GoBearcats31]

Adou Thiero from UK is in the portal. He was a guy that we had targeted late in his class cycle out of HS. We finished 2nd in that race. Expect contact here

Thiero reportedly down to Pitt, UNC, Arkansas, Kentucky (stay put), Indiana

As Xavier continues to add solid pieces in a total roster overhaul and they get hyped up from the likes of Fox's John Fanta, Desmond Claude (16.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists) just hit the portal.

So between he and Quincy Olivari, that is 35.7 ppg gone, and they seem to be putting a lot of faith in the return of Zach Freemantle (hasn't played since 1/28/2023) and Jerome Hunter (missed all of this season too).

Has Hunter been cleared to play yet?

Has Hunter been cleared to play yet?

He was cleared to practice mid-season then suffered a torn Achilles in early February -- not sure his status now

In other news, Duke's roster has fallen apart and I don't get it at all. Is it Scheyer or does Duke not have any NIL money? They've lost 3 4/5 star guys in 24 hours.

Jizzle James responded to a post on one of the Duke departures with "Florida Rebels reunited" . There are several possibilities on what he meant but that was his AAU squad and several of the Duke guys are from that same team.

Supposedly Conwell is or will be visiting XU. Dude is going for 25 in the Shootout if he picks the crosstown school.

Xavier commit

Matt Norlander:
- In talking to people across CBB this week there's an unrelenting, overwhelming sentiment that portal recruiting—while new/crazy the past few years—is at an entirely different level of insanity + untrustworthiness in 2024 due to the NCAA being forced to back off all NIL oversight.
- Said one guy: "This is as unenjoyable as any month in all my years of coaching."

Hopefully he's saying come to UC.

Personally I think that’s what it was. One more spot to fill. Break the bank.

Hopefully -- one scholarship player decides 6 years is enough unless fully healthy. Then we have room for two. Do we have the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to buy them?

I think we'll get CJ's decision after finals, next week. Today was the last day of classes.

As far as money goes, unknown. You'd have to ask Brian Fox and Traci Thies and company that one.

I had a fun observation on this front just now . If Cincy Reigns were a 501c3 (they never will be), they'd have to disclose all their donors and the amounts of the donations. Since they're aren't, we have no idea how much is in the bank or who the donations are coming from. This is a good thing in this case to a point. If the data were public, opposing schools would know how much we have in the account to spend and would use it against us in recruiting.

George Mason transfer Keyshawn Hall has committed to UCF, he told @TheFieldOf68.

Hall averaged 16.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this past season.

Update: I was wondering if this was the case but this is a reference to Sean Stewart. He’s a 5 star PF/C that will be a sophomore.

This is not a pipe dream. We’re involved here.,
