The Transfer Carousel - 2022-23

[Rhody83]

The awesome Rhody Vault twitter handle has breaking transfer news apparently coming soon …

Saw that...didn't know if he that meant the Vault knows something already or just telling us that it is the spot for future news.

Hope there is news to be broken soon!!! Getting anxious for Archie's first move

It doesn’t matter who the first commit is. Just matters what the roster is at the start of the summer.

[Jersey77]

This one surprises me, unless Osun is coming back.
Good size (6'9"-6'10") and decent on the offensive side with a mid-range jumper.

Shoon has to be, would make no sense otherwise, this guy would be starting, but there are things bigger than basketball that factor

[Jersey77]

Let me first say, we have no affiliation with this player.
I am only listing him because he is just the type of stretch 4, I hope we can land.
He is 6' 9"/ 220 lbs. averaged 10 pts (56% FG/ 40% 3PT) and 5 rebs.
Carr started every game and still has 3 years eligibility left.
The Delaware fan board is really upset he is transferring.

Michigans Brandon John’s entered the portal earlier. Came off the bench all 4 years at Michigan, most likely looking for a bigger role for his last year of college. Archie actually recruited him at Indiana, could be a guy Rhody shows interest in.

Okay, know he was a 4* top 100 recruit in HS from Michigan.
Could be a good 1-year loaner.

Bryce Hopkins is transferring from Kentucky. Relevant transfer as Hopkins had Indiana in his Top 5 before choosing Kentucky.

Indiana: “We just felt really good about Archie Miller and his staff. We went up there last year sometime, but we took an unoffiicial to Indiana and was totally impressed by the way they do things and the entire coaching staff was with us. It felt like an official visit. The entire staff, it was just first class.”

Dude would be a really solid get. Played really well when I watched him.

So there's our trade for Toppin.

[STC]

Getting way ahead of myself here but a trio of Durugordon, Lander, Hopkins would be an outstanding start to Miller Time.

Forgot Diggins but he would be a great addition as well.

[Iggy1979]

PC will be heavily involved in Hopkins.

“ How tough were the last several weeks?

It was really tough, especially for Bryce. Illinois did such a great job this second time around. We take our hats off to Illinois for doing such a great job. Coach Cooley [at Providence], just meeting Ed, his genuineness was really tough. Bryce had bonded with him really well. My wife being from the east coast, her brother went to school with Ed Cooley at Stonehill [College]. Bobby, which is Bryce’s uncle, was two years older than Ed. That relationship in itself was tough.

Did the decision officially come down to Kentucky, Illinois and Providence?

Indiana too. Coach Archie Miller, he’s always been great. He respected Bryce’s game, he came on really early during his recruitment and offered Bryce. Archie, it was tough saying no to him. It was really tough.”

I look at anything Goodman releases as relevant. Just like Zags had the inside track with Hurley, Goodman is very obviously Archie's guy.

That alone means this kid should be watched with all the other relevant connections.

[Billyboy78]

I wonder how the Mitchell twins feel about this.....6'9" forward.

[Jersey77]

As Ramster pointed out previously, May1st is the transfer cut-off date to qualify for the no-sit rule.
Players can still transfer later but they would need to be granted a waiver for immediate eligibility.
Currently 1228 players have entered the portal.

Good rule expect to see boatloads of guys enter the portal in the next 3 weeks

[ATPTourFan]

Twins may be good for large bodies to work around in practice. How will they get any significant play time? I just don't see it.

[LoveThoseRams]

I have inside scoop, that is verified by a good source. We are getting MORE THAN ONE transfer.

Actually... "several"...which is even more than MORE THAN ONE

Transfer upon transfer upon transfer....

[Rhodymob05]

That forward that just decommited from PC signed a NLI. Is there any penalty for backing out of that? If not then what’s the point?

[KingstonLane]

Every recruit who is decomitting asks for a release from their NLI and it’s common to be granted

I believe the penalty is losing a year of eligibility. Don’t know how often schools refuse to break it though.

[Rhody15]

My guess is they each average between 10-14 minutes a game.

[STC]

I’m legitimately skeptical that The Twins survive a full season with the Razorbacks. Musselman is one of the best in the biz and we all know The Twins can’t handle adversity and are a headache for the HC so it would not shock me if they didn’t last the season.

[reef]

Agree with you guys very skeptical about this move to Hogs for the twins , I’d be very surprised if they turn into difference makers there

Much depends on whether sophomore center Jaylin Williams stays in the draft or decides to return.

Kids who decommit and get out of their NLI do not lose a year of eligibility.

A ton of kids do this in football and basketball, schools grant their release and they still get four years.

[PowderBlueButBetter]

Do the twins not need to sit out this year? 2nd time transferring schools, i thought the immediate eligibility rule was for one time transfer players

They need to get a waiver, which shouldn't be an issue because of the coaching change.

[reef]

ESPN just came out with their top 100 players in the portal
90 Diggins
91 lander
100 touissant

The twins were listed as honorable mention

. Maybe just maybe , this situation might show how much better Coach Musslemen is than Coach Cox.

Time will tell, but, I would not be surprised if the Mitchell’s flourish in a new and different environment.

If - and it’s a big if for me - he can get them to change their attitudes, then Musslemen just might pull it off, McRam.

Like some others here, I am very curious to see how it all plays out.

Define "flourish" and I'll bet against it.

Can't stress enough how big that "if" is.

They'll look good on a good team because Muss won't let them do whatever.

I wouldn’t. I would be Makhel gets more run because he’s the better player. I think he’ll be a regular rotation piece. Makhi not so much

Wow. Grasso is doing an incredible job at Bryant. Not sure how he is getting these guys to come to Bryant

[STC]

For all the Grasso slander on this board he is absolutely getting it done at Bryant.

[reef]

If he gets them dancing again next year can definitely see him moving up in conferences

[PeterRamTime]

Can we make him a priority please? I want three pointers to go into the basket next year.

Edit

Ah I see he has committed there already

I thought for sure he would go to a a higher level team.

“These guys” ? You had never heard of Doug Edert 4 weeks ago. And Antwan averaged 8ppg last season. I’m the biggest Twan fan but let’s not make it like he’s getting Lamar Odom to Smithfield. He’s proven he can recruit above his league.
