2024 Transfer Portal Season
- Thread starter Section9.RowD
- Start date
We are the Bryant of the portal, and I don't hate it.
What exactly is the definition of the quiet period? Sure seems like quite a bit of activity has been occurring.
It's actually a dead period, so no in-person contact or visits. But they can still call/text/etc.
This figures. Jaynel, meet your new daddy.
Just got word that this is incorrect. Brickus was actually just going to Costco on Sunday
The current state of college basketball is weighting on me. I’m quickly losing interest.
Can’t get excited about tracking the portal like signing a HS recruit.

You aren’t the only one.
Building a “fantasy” team every year and hoping for the best is going to be a true test of program loyalty.
The portal has made it more exciting to me. These guys have college stats and highlights we can look at vs. high school. Seems like we get a much better feel for how a guy will fit and perform this way. I remember I was excited about landing Nelson and Smith, but, obviously, you never know how they will perform at our level. But, I was a lot more excited about King and Hunt, knowing they could give us much needed help right away. So far, the portal has been a big time net positive for us, so hard to be disappointed with it.
Really?
Portal year #1 - 11th place conference finish.
Portal year #2 - Regular season co-champions. NIT first round loss.
Doesn’t meet my definition of big time.
I will agree that the portal adds were great improvements over the recent high school recruits that have come and left. ButI think part of the problem has also been the extra Covid years causing a backlog on playing time. May have been able to get better recruits if there were openings.
Yes, really. We started 4 portal guys this year, had 2 others be part of our rotation, and went 15-3 in the A-10 and won a regular season title with them. Yes, really! SMH.
Well, at least we've seen him and beaten him. If he goes there, we've got the scouting report on him. But maybe he takes an Uber over to a real campus while he's in town...
In theory I agree with but, but as close as we are geographically, that's how far apart we are in almost everything else. I can't imagine there is much overlap in any students, let alone athletes, who are considering a big public urban campus versus a small private leafy campus.
Transfer Portal: The top ten players who entered on Wednesday
On3's Jamie Shaw breaks down the top ten players who entered the college basketball transfer portal on Wednesday, April 10.
Crazy how much talent is entering on a daily basis, forget the number - something like 1200 - 1300 players?
Of note to me on this list: Mongolian Mike - formerly of Dayton and then USF. A lot of potential "step down" guys too.
I do think we have done a nice job of landing team first guys the last two years. I have seen a couple articles referencing some P6 teams that spent $2million last off season and missed the NCAA's, have to imaging Villanova may have been one. Saw an article about Hurley, he says he pays as much attention to the parents and text and phone discussions with them. Are they "fans" first, or parents? Are they blaming the other players and coaches on their current and AAU teams or discussing what their son needs to work on etc?
I like 4 year players as much as the next guy. but I enjoyed watching Jordan King this season as much as any Spider I can think of. I enjoyed Quinn, Bigelow, Harris and Hunt too.
going back in time, some of my favorite Spiders were transfers.
TJ Cline
Blake Francis
Greg Stevenson
Kinte Smith
Tony Dobbins
I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
so no, I don't have a problem with the portal or NIL.
and I'm thankful for the guys funding our NIL to land us good players to watch.

I see one of our High Point guards finally entered the portal... 👀Transfer Portal: The top ten players who entered on Wednesday

I know we are just taking shots in the dark here, but a guy like Mason Gillis from Purdue would be a nice Bigelow replacement. Who the heck knows what he is looking for having just played in a championship game.
I agree, but there are literally hundreds of high major guys in the portal. Would assume they would go to another high major - and probably half don't have a better role or didn't get what they expect. Would think a few would try a lower - yet still top 8 conference - where they could be the man, or think they could.
As I said before: Just a shot in the dark here. But if not Gillis, seems like there are some uber talented guys that might have the interest in a better opportunity for a larger role. Just like Kaiser at Maryland.
But yes Gillis is probably not that guy based on 6th man of the year and insane 3pt percentage.

Mooney told him to go check in on our old friend MoJo before he comes back here to sign on the dotted line. Professional courtesy.
Per his agent?? A transfer from Morehead St. has an agent, Lol. Things have gotten out of hand.
Nice, good news for the A10. SLU could end up being team to beat next season. Read a couple things about the new coach, seems very well thought of. Very impressed with his record at D2 and pretty quick turnaround at ISU. Bringing his roster , Gibson, and whoever else he should hit the ground running.
Got my hopes up there for a nanosecond, considering "home" is Richmond.
Very surprising, but at least he's not going to vcu.
