Transfer Portal 2023

[MichHusker]

Not sure what it means for Alabama and Wrightsell but they just got a commitment from guard Aaron Estrada out of the portal. Averaged 20 a game at hoftsra

[Huskerpapa]

Just a hunch...nothing more...I think we will hear good news this week.  I am hoping x's 2 or maybe 3.

Alabama just got CB for Wrightsell.

Crystal ball pick from Travis Branham on 247

Ya. Wrightsell also cancelled his other visits. Believe he is bama bound and we are Wrightsold as Norm would say.

If we can get Sallis, I won't mind not getting Wrightsell. Hoping for Sallis, Allick, and Dunlap 

[twister31]

Sallis supposedly wanted to commit to Wake Forest but was convinced to give Neb a chance. Anyone have different info on that?

I never thought it was about the money from Arizona, and selfishly, I am glad that he committed elsewhere so those rumors could be quashed.

Nope, all along it was because he finally realized Creighton sucks and he needed to get the hell out of there

This is the way

Seems pretty apparent he wants to play in the NBA and his best chance isn't at Creighton

Official, Wrightsold his soul to Bama:

Man I hate to say this…. But I did not see, at all, where this dude fit in with what we have returning. Good for both parties involved. I didn’t want him at the risk of running off, say like, Lawrence or something.

Yep.  I’m thinking Lawrence, Lloyd, and Kesei could be really good with the 6’7” guard we are already bringing in.  Wouldn’t mind adding Sallis’ athleticism to that bunch, but no need to settle for anyone at this point unless we don’t have Keisei back.

Kind of what I was thinking, if hunter comes it’s to run the point, we could really use another big with Blaise going through recovery.  We only really need another SG if KT doesn’t return or we want to fill out last scholarship with the best athlete we can get.  I still stand by really wanting sallis, Dunlop and the kid from North Star (sorry, drawing a blank in his name)

Blaise had a lower body injury two years ago and a high ankle sprang this past December.  Bluntly, he should be fully recovered now.  

 

Blaise is a big man with an unhealthy background.  He will soon be here one full year and under the guidance of nutrition, strength, flexibility and skill experts.  If he is not 100% healthy at this point I will be disappointed.

My thoughts as well, I’m hoping for the best but also know that some guys just never heal correctly.  Not a knock on him it just happens, I’d rather have another option just incase the worse case scenario happens.

I sure hope we can do better than settle for Josiah Allick

Josiah Allick is really good and would be a fantastic fit with what the team needs.

Have you looked at his stats? Watched his film? I mean, the national runner-up was offering him. He started for a team that was maybe 40 spots ahead of us in Kenpom's rankings. He has tools we can use.

IMO, you'll be pleasantly surprised about what he can do for us and his role.

I think him talking about wanting to do more offensively was a nice way of him saying he didn't want to spend another year in New Mexico watching Jamal Mashburn Jr take 531 shots

#11.

 

And we're not even done.
