Transfer Portal 2026

Are the Bearcats still trying to fill the 15th roster spot?

There's definitely a spot left. We could fill it with a 2022 Senior. Other than that taking Darbyshire off walk on status might be the move

FYI.... Looserville is stacked this season. Ex-UNC guard Trimble transfers to Louisville

Seth Trimble is taking advantage of a recent court ruling that grants him eligibility for a fifth season and is transferring to Louisville, he told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

The former North Carolina standout is committing to Louisville after a Colorado district court ruling gave the high school class of 2022 a fifth year of eligibility for the 2026-27 season.

If the ruling holds up against an NCAA appeal, Trimble can return to college after he played five Las Vegas Summer League games for the Washington Wizards. He remains eligible to play in college since he didn't sign an NBA contract.

Trimble averaged 14 points per game last season with the Tar Heels and is the latest addition in an impressive portal haul for the Cardinals this offseason. Louisville has already added former Kansas standout Flory Bidunga, Oregon's Jackson Shelstad, NCAA Tournament standout Alvaro Folgueiras from Iowa, and ex-Arkansas guard Karter Knox.

The Cardinals know firsthand what Trimble can do after he torched them for a career-high 30 points last season.

I just mentioned this in another thread but the portal is about get crazy starting tomorrow 8/3 through 8/11. A whole host of really good 5th year players just regained a year of eligibility due to a ruling from a judge in Colorado. Happy free for all everyone

Like a bunch of kids in a candy store. LOL

Marc Pope had to win one of his transfer battles. It took a reported $8M to get the bid, though.

Good for him. I always liked that guy. To me, he knew how to stick on his man on the defensive side of the ball. I cannot remember one time when Dzellat was embarrassed on defense. Also, he appeared to want to shoot the ball on offense. He had a touch of aggression to his offense. He just could not get the time on the floor.

yeah. he followed tim adams on twitter, as do I. HD tweeted a lot about other sports at uc. he really seemed to be a bearcat through and through. beyond the action on the court, he seemed to enjoy being here.

Josh Reed looks like he got an MBA while he was at Penn State, so my guess is that he was taking the student part seriously as well.

Good for Josh Reed. Getting your degree is what it is all about. Especially for players like Josh Reed. Reed is not likely to get any NBA invitations during the summer to play in the Summer Leagues.

Based on data documented by the NCAA (2025), only 1.2% of all college players "secure a position" on an NBA team. Think about that for a second. That means that 98.8% of the players that play college b-ball will never make an NBA roster. Good Lord.

Josh Reed did the smart thing. He was brutally honest about his possibilities of going pro and reasoned that he will be better off getting an MBA degree. Too bad that more players do not come to that conclusion. Also, with all of this NIL money being thrown around, a number of players may become blinded by the fast short money and may not think about their lives at 35 years old and older. No matter what a player does, that NIL money will not last forever. More players should take the Josh Reed approach.

Good for Josh Reed. When all of the smoke of his college experience has cleared, he has an MBA to show for his time as a student. To me, NBA or not, getting your degree is what it is all about baby.

Good post.

I think that's a bit unfair to Damon Flint. He was recruited as a shooting guard, but every year he had to play point guard because Huggs couldn't recruit a better player to be the PG. Flint made a sacrifice for the team's sake.

Wasn't Damon Flint a center in high school? I know that he was an All American. Huggins used to pull them in. Dontonio Wingfield, another high school All American, was also a freshman on that particular Huggins' team.

Halvine Dzellat has committed to Seattle U

Yeah, but coaches have already graduated, they already have their degrees. I guess we forget these guys are supposed to be students.

Sadly, the student-athlete folly has passed and it is high time we eliminate the ability to transfer if the coach leaves. No pro team does that; the pros are held to their contract. Giving the GM and the University "rights" to the athlete who chooses them is a decent idea. I would not want a draft system where last place gets first pick.

[red_n_black_attack]

Because of money?

Because he cannot realistically promise that many guys enough playing time.

You can say that about any coach. I think Thiam and Baba showed vast improvement from start to end last season. Day Day certainly got a lot better. Huggins also had Damon Flint, who regressed every one of his four years.

Flint was also bogged down with turf toe his sophomore year. He bounced back as a junior and was monumental in the E8 run...having a great tourney until the game against Miss. St.
