2025 Portal Tracker

The ol hire the HS, AAU coach, dad/truckdriver has been around since Danny Manning. It is getting more prevalent, just like the in conference transfer. I think Louisville just got UVA's sniper right? Seems like it is very common now. Really weird 5-6 years ago, but common place now.
 
Perhaps a little premature for his own thread so keeping this here for now, but big man fans should be happy to see us Zooming with Riley Allenspach. Getting some pretty big-time interest from others. Looks like he was supposed to visit Northwestern as well but they appear to have cooled and the visit was canceled.

We had expressed interest in him coming out of high school but never offered. He committed to Western Kentucky but backed out when Rick Stansbury got booted, and he ended up at Samford for the past two years.

Hasn't put up huge overall stats there, but very solid for his minutes played (13 mpg).

Interesting. He is super efficient offensively, but not a great defensive rebounder for his size (offensive rebounding is good, but not as relevant for a Mooney team unfortunately). Not a passer either. Would be a backup to Walz and Beagle I assume, but the 2nd year of eligibility makes this interesting.
 
Difference is he was a top 40 recruit, whereas AP u couldn't even find any tape on from Greece. Bet this guy is an impact player fir VCU.
GW3 was Gatorade player of the year in Ohio, I believe. Sometimes kids don't live up to the hype. UConn was not some juggernaught this year and had injuries at the guard position and yet this dude couldn't get anything but garbage minutes. Who knows, based on our experiences though, I'm not buying my NCAA tickets next year if a VCU fan.

I’m buying them. Going opposite of what this board thinks re: vcu could have funded our NIL and rev share.
 

Oh man reminds me of when Coach Tarrant made an off color joke about a player at Wake Forest with same last name. Back when u had to listen to games on radio. idk why that stuck with me, probably because I was like did he really just say that. But a generational thing he gets a pass. Philly Bob laughed tho...I think awkwardly hard to tell.
 
Also worth noting that he Also follows Lafayette transfer Alex Chaikin on both X and Instagram, this could mean nothing at all but to me looks like they are two top targets, we’ll see what we get from the portal.
Well done! We're in a long list of programs that have indeed been in touch with Chaikin. No idea how recently though.
