2022 Transfer Portal Thread

Have to feel for ISU here, legit tampering going on. Just how the game is going…

Having said that. Sup Tyrese!~

It does take 2 to tango though. I’m sure the Hunter’s were pretty receptive… If not proactive.

Oh they were inquiring quite a bit leading up to this.

jayballer67

Ok so I seen this off TOS so i’ll relay this on and ask you guys. - Would you rather have Kendrick Davis or Tyresse Hunter ? - Me ? - - Thanks for asking - - I’d take Davis

BShark

KU will be involved with Hunter that’s all I can say.

STOP IT LOL

So did a little snooping FWIW. been rumored that Hunter was done deal to NC - - umm don’t think so. - -# 1 they have no room, plus like people saying be no reason when you have Caleb Love coming back - -you have RJ Davis there and on top of that you have Trimble coming in - just not a fit. - Having said that heard that 247 sports has listed Hunter as the # 2 available transfer now that he is in

BShark

@jayballer67 Yeah I’m sure he will have a long line. Far from done, don’t think there is a favorite at this time but I’m pretty sure we will take a look.

UNC won’t be a major player for Hunter. There’s just not PT (or a scholarship) available.

Do we have room?

I think we prefer Kendric.

Well THANKS for that MR Sunshine - that is a very hardy kick to the chones - but I’ll be alright - -give me a minute to catch my breath and suck it up lol - -Aww ok that’s better - - WLP looks like we better hope we can get Hunter now for sure really get after him

Crimsonorblue22

@BShark would jank steer him there? Or does Self not want him?

BShark

@Crimsonorblue22 Self wanted him. Sounds like he likes Self too but Memphis has FedEx funny money.

Crimsonorblue22

@BShark pennys not a winner either!

Guessing Davis continues his streak of not winning a tournament game.

BShark

We will get someone, it’s early.

Crimsonorblue22

@BShark pennys also in trouble.

That right we will get some one

Release a “Top 7” while only visiting one school. SMH.

Former UNC forward Dawson Garcia predictably goes to Minnesota

Former Oklahoma guard Elijah Harkless goes to UNLV, weird move.

VCU forward Hasan Ward transfers to Iowa St

Former TCU guard Francisco Farabello transfers to Creighton

Providence landed 3 transfers - Clifton Moore (Indiana, LaSalle), Devin Carter (South Carolina), & Noah Locke (Florida, Louisville).

@BeddieKU23 Lon’s son is coaching UNLV

Portal about to hit 1400 today.

ISU fans are cracking me up still. Hunter obviously went to ISU, without ever stepping foot in Ames previously, for free. And he stayed with the coaching change, for free, because he loved that school he’s never seen in person so much.

BShark

@Kcmatt7 Ha.

ISU, maybe correctly so, puts quite a bit into football these days. It might be a struggle for them to maintain relevancy in basketball unless they divert more there.

Personally I rather enjoy KU’s appoach to limited funds. Be great in basketball.

BeddieKU23

@Kcmatt7

They taking it as well as KU fans took Bryce or Grimes leaving?

I do find this situation a bit odd. As you mentioned he stuck with ISU even after his coach was fired, had to establish a new relationship with TJ & then played under him and led them to the Sweet 16.

It was already social media rumor that Hunter was being courted by other programs without being in the portal officially. Now he’s in and its high bidding time. Not sure that’s someone I actually want from the portal. We all see he’s a really good player that’s going to get better but from an 8 foot view it certainly seems like he’s chasing a bag more then chasing other things. Who knows.

The brand recognition alone from having an actual top tier program vs. trying to be Wisconsin-lite is a no-brainer to me.

I fully think loyalty is to the biggest paycheck. But he’d be locked down here. It would be either the NBA or stay for three seasons. And he plays his ass off so I’m good with it. Not like a guy who has talent but plays when he feels like it.

Sounds like he spent some time back home in Wisconsin after their tournament exit in Chicago. Old people from his circle got in his ear. One of his old teammates upgraded from a small school to Wisconsin and he got to see the financial difference.

BeddieKU23

@Kcmatt7

Agree he definitely plays hard and has plenty of talent that fits here. Just wondering how locked in he’ll actually be after he gets the bag he wants. It’s an interesting dynamic I’m watching with this NIL.

BeddieKU23

@BShark

Thx for the detail.

Yuri Collins who led the nation in assists is in the portal. Long line coming
