Transfer Portal

Fernandes grad transferring out of UMass. Only played in 11 games this year due to injury.

Obviously won't be surprised to see more exits from UMass after the way their season ended.

The lefty Dominguez is a baller too.

 

[SFspidur]

Not sure what to make of this one. Texas kid who redshirted freshman year at Incarnate Word. No idea how he got on our radar.

 

[MrTbone]

Roche wasn’t a 2 according to Mooney. He was the backup to Burton.

Also positionless basketball

Is that true? Must have missed that. If so, that’s just ridiculous even for positionless basketball.

That is an ugly list we are competing with. Geez.

 

[MDspider8]

This is our first example of the “transfer down” target others were talking about earlier. Tate’s list is only mid or low majors so far.

I think someone on the staff learned python last summer and wrote a script to send out an offer to every person that enters the portal

If anyone else on here was a comp sci major, pretty sure Dr. Charlesworth would be proud of the staff's programing skills ..

Something about Butler I guess.

I'd say we have a solid chance to edge out Gonzaga for him!

Hey, maybe he grew up dreaming about the Princeton offense rather than Adam Morrison.

 

[SFspidur]

Former Spider targets Justin McKoy and Tyler Nickel have portaled from UNC.

 

[SFspidur]

Jaden House out of High Point...junior with two years left.

 

[ManiBenton]

Will he want to move down to the bottom 4 of the A-10?

yeah regardless of who CM gets in the portal, we will still be a bottom 4 team. Nothing in the offseason can change that

Yes it was in 1 of his press conferences I think a pregame one. Towards end of year. Can’t recall exactly which one but I pointed it out at time. Obv he didn’t play exclusively as backup bc he got some time w Burton who played most of game but it still struck me as odd comment. If Burton gone then perhaps u could say he’s got a lot of mins coming as the roster now stands. But the roster in flux.

 

[SFspidur]

Mike Mitchell Jr out of Pepperdine...soph with two years left.

 

[ManiBenton]

The portal is going crazy tonight! Only 3 a10 teams have lost players too. I think VMI lost 3-4 guys, gonna be even harder to coach there.

 

[spider23]

Gipe's phone and Twitter must be close to melt down.

 

[spider23]

I will take the Butler guy as compensation for Bizjack please.

 

[urmite]

If you mean Taylor, Does one on that list look different?

 

[ur2K]

At least we seem to realize that we need some transfer help.

 

[MDspider8]

If I'm counting correctly, that's 13 guys in the portal we've contacted so far, which already matches the amount from last offseason based on SF's list in the recruiting thread. 10 of the 13 are guards if you include Roberts - I assume that will even out as time goes on, but interesting to see the early strategy.

 

[brooklyn brownstone]

I think I remember believing that Nickel was an unreal prospect and hoping somehow we would sign him before he blew up. Obviously he went to UNC so we had zero shot. But just based on the HS videos from like 3 years ago, I'd still take him in a heartbeat.

 

[Spider B]

Since top donors/admin have now publicly stated we don't care about winning, does it impact our ability to land higher level transfers? If I'm a guy looking to transfer down from a P5, I'm not going to a school that wants to lower its expectations (after a losing season) of the program. I'm going to a school that wants to win.

Their primary interaction will be with staff who clearly aren’t going to say “we hope to make the tournament in another 3-4 years after you’re gone.” So I don’t think that’s a particular issue.

But of course if they or their family/friends do a bunch of “research” and look at things like a Rivals website they’ll get a much more colorful view of the school and staff, regardless of which school it is.

What’s not hard to do and is completely fact-based: look up ncaa tournament appearances, recency and frequency.

 

[Eight Legger]

No no, I'm pretty sure most transfers would rather hear about the cumulative GPA of our student-athletes. I think that is what ultimately will land us some real studs.

 

[8legs1dream]

just wait till they get a load of how leafy our campus is

 

[spiderman]

I feel like it's approaching last call and we're trying our best pickup lines on every drunk girl in the bar.

Give the Giper another shot and get back to work haha.

 

[Eight Legger]

Myles Stute from Vandy is in the portal and seems like an ideal target for us. Played high school ball with Dread in DC. Has two years left. Is 6'7" and shot 36% from three this year and led the SEC last year at 46%. Obviously has no academic barriers if he was at Vandy.

 

[SFspidur]

Kinda crappy of him to abandon his team for the NIT, but guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[MDspider8]

Justin Wright out of NC Central - efficient scoring guard who can also rebound pretty well.

 

[72Spider]

What exactly are you proposing?

A strong ass offer

Justin is very good. Can play 1 or 2. Been playing against and with him since 3rd grade. Not sure if he would come here but love his game. From what I understand, he’s leaving Central for a bigger school.

Hopefully he wants one of our spots badly and decided this was the only way to ensure he got it...?

Lil Jameer transferring again.

and he already knows how to lose to VCU so there will be no drop-off there

That didn't take long...Loyola big man role player Hutson is headed to UNI.

Will not be easy for us to take our winning streak over UNI to 4 next year. Bowen Born can really score.

 

[SFspidur]

Mike Meadows out of Portland. Guess he had one year left...has played in five season, but only one game his freshman year so that must be a medical redshirt.
