BB: 2026-2027 TRANSFER PORTAL

[JimboBBN]

JJ Mandaquit (PG from Washington) also just committed to AZ

They were our main competitor for him, right? He could flourish next to Rob in our backcourt. Get it done, Pope.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Come on down, Diallo

I assume another PG needy team just jumps into the Zoom sweepstakes personally.

Could be way wrong. But Pope flying to Rob and Wilkins after Zoom left and still reaching out to Cruz Davis today suggests Zoom might not be coming imo(if we assume Rob is)

As far as I know that was the main team being mentioned while he was here on his visit, so definitely a good sign

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

Jasper seems set on going to an SEC school.

 

[Beatle Bum]

I am good with building this class around Wright and Moreno. Bring in the best pieces around them. I don’t need Stokes.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Needs to stay in college. He could make more money in college next year, I think.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Carey from Tenn to Mizzou

[MidseasonTweak]

Come on down, Diallo

This looks good for us now. I was worried earlier

 

[TeamAmerica]

Looks like Louisville is adding another big Saint Mary's Paulius Murauskas

 

[Catzman]

Looks like Louisville is adding another big Saint Mary's Paulius MuAchilles.

Damn he and Bidunga is a hell of a front court. Bidunga alone didn't move the needle but 2 of the top 3 big men in the country in the portal would be impressive.

Yeah but Rainmaker says they're out of money so they may only be playing with 4 guys. "My team is in the floor."

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Terrance Brown is going to visit Friday and also maybe Magoon Gwath.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Come on Pope we need some big hitters...

 

[Anon668007]

 

[UKgrad22]

Him and Rob would be deadly

 

[TeamAmerica]

They are supposed to bring in Karter Knox too. That's a name from the past.

 

[BlueManchu]

They don't have the $$$. Their team is going to be 3-4 guys per Rainmaker

They can have him, I didn't want him even when he was a commit here under Cal.

 

[BlueManchu]

They aren't us. They have nobody we'd want

 

[TeamAmerica]

UK wouldn't want two of the top big men in the portal and a top rated PG? If you say so.

 

[TeamAmerica]

Juke Harris lost his crystal ball to Michigan. Looks like he is switching to UNC.

I totally underestimated the nba view for Malone. He can sell how to get there but can he deliver.

 

[Anon668007]

 

[JimboBBN]

Knew Mo was a Pitino man as soon as he hit the portal

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Another day, another no signature.

 

[Anon668007]

 

[Anon668007]

I don't think Pope can wait on Stokes for one or two weeks to make a decision. He has to make a decision today or soon. If Pope holds spot and budget, it may kill the entire roster build.

 

[Anon668007]

Too harsh? Not harsh enough?

 

[TommyMansky]

Too harsh? Not harsh enough?

Silly

 

[Anon668007]

 

[JustBlue]

This is one I hope comes here.

 

[TommyMansky]

He was an alpha against UConn. I would take him and 1-2 other transfers over Stokes if I was in charge of spending NIL money.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Am I crazy to think this guy could start at the 2? I've watched some highlights of him and he looks legit.

He’s legit.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Interested to see Harwell at Gonzaga. Few has taken a few highly regarded players who weren’t great early on and turned them into great players.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Him and Sadler should be a fun backcourt

Offensively great, kinda weak on defense/size/rebounding, but it will be fun. You have to shoot and score which they do.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Just under 14 million and that was after they took out a loan to get that. They are in really bad financial shape throughout their athletic department. Like 100+ million in the hole and no real plan to get out. It's a true problem for these Universities with NIL across all sports. Kentucky basketball operates at a NET positive income, Louisville does not. They already spent a large portion on the first two portal commits, now they have 5 million to field the rest of the team.

They will need to find some under the radar depth pieces. But they could still be formidable with 3-4 studs.

 

[Anon668007]

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I understand how NIL Collectives work, they didn't raise 14 million part of what they have is from a loan. I was simply stating even beyond the NIL collective they are bleeding money profusely. Eventually the piper comes calling and a lot of these schools are in big trouble.

They will get their Governor to bail them out with tax money I’m sure. Or even the city which is run by democrats for decades now.
