Feels like after watching basketball the last two days and what other tournament teams are built around we need keita and breidenbach to be our rotation at the 5 vs bigger centers then try to get a more athletic 6’8 or 6’9 guy that can play the 4 or 5 in the portal.  Foot speed seems to be king in March

We're just 11 years removed from Bo Ryan having a list of 25 schools that Jarrod Uthoff couldn't transfer to

Keeping this guy from fulfilling his destiny as the ultimate Iowa basketball player was like fighting off the tides of the ocean with a broom

While he’s only listed at 6’6”, that’s effectively what Juwan Gary is. But we definitely need some more size and athleticism that’s for sure. Point taken.

6' 6" point guard. Stats are similar to Sam G.

Taken with a grain of salt, but I saw a tweet that said he either wanted Butler or to stay in the B1G.  That would leave Butler, IU, tOSU, and Us from that list.

Very much do want. But probably a Wisconsin lean.

They're full on scholarships so the more transfer portal guys they add, the more it means someone else would have to leave

Another day another dude

I see Cam Martin from KU is transferring he was never a fit there. 6'9 230

Bart Torvik provides a good snapshot at transfers, ranked by their points above replacement (look it up if you don't understand, because I can't explain it). The current leader is Josh Cohen of St. Francis.

I kinda hope we prioritize key guys on successful teams again over the stars on unsuccessful teams.

Primo Spears from Georgetown is in the portal according to that list.  He is a guy I’d be interested in.  

[jimmykc]

Pretty overwhelming list of guys I have never heard of. Why aren't the guys from Nebraska listed?

They are (if you're talking about the Torvik list). Oleg -0.2 and Dawson -0.9. You have to expand the list at the bottom to get to them or sort other ways.

He can get buckets for sure but volume shooter, no defense, and culture of losing. Think we’ve seen that before.

Wofford has 3 players in the top 50 transferring. Suprised they didn't wait until Wofford finished their deep tourney run to annou

 

Oh, wait ...

[Swan88]

Yikes!  550+ names and counting.

Why would anyone want to jump into that pool of names, unless expected to be in high demand or having a destination in hand?

And for high school players out of the top 100 rankings, that list of names must be disheartening in the extreme!

The portal gets a bad name for guys moving up for a better offer somewhere else, but the vast majority of players are looking to move somewhere to just get on the court. Denim and Oleg aren't going to end up at P5 schools, they'll be at a MAC or Valley school.

Those are two guys I could see developing into decent mid major players if they go to a school where they can log some minutes.
