The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24

[reef]

Would be nice for Rhody to have a Timberlake

[Dino611]

Who starts ahead of either of them lol?

Just players that were on bad teams in very weak conferences don’t see that much improvement over Weston if they come but if it’s between the two of them (Conway & Wilcox) I would want Conway, I hope and pray we’re involved with Timberlake though kids a stud

Conway averaged 16 against three A-10 teams

Weston is not on his level yet or Wilcox. And they're both way better offensive players than Malik was, so an improved Weston plus one of them would be a pretty big upgrade.

Wohoo no offense but that’s only three games and yes he’d be better than Malik offensively but how would he be definsively, the conference he played in is alot different than the A-10, would rather have B West for 3 more years or Timberlake for one year, Malik had to play the 4 90% of the time while this kid would play the 3 and who even knows if he’d start we can do WAAAYYYYY better than this kid no offense

[Dino611]

One other kid to look out for would be Georgetowns Brandon Murray, Ewing just got fired and we were after him in the portal last year, Kenny most definitely will reach out if he does

Eh idk did you watch that kid play? Sure Malik is probably better defensively. I mean I'll be surprised if we get anyone that good defensively.

Of course I'd rather have Timberlake, but do we actually have a chance with someone that good?

If we don't we hired the wrong coach.

From where the transfers’ hometowns are that we’ve been involved with this week I’ve seen that it’s been Austin most likely reaching out but I could be 100% wrong just my two cents

And no I didn’t watch the kid that’s where I leave to my opinion up to someone like Iggy or 83 who’s in the knows of who’s has the talent or not, like I said Archie isn’t going to settle for guys who are on the worst team in their conferences that’s why I’m saying these kids are worse case scenario recruits

Well I watched him play against Fordham and Richmond and it was very clear to me he'd at worst be our second best player. Like I was shocked VMI had anyone that good. But yeah if you're right and they are worst case scenarios then we are in good shape!

PRT it was good that he played well against Fordham but in that game Quisenberry (Fordhams best player) didn’t even play, like I said it’s good we’re involved with a shooter but let’s aim higher

[McRam]

One other kid to look out for would be Georgetowns Brandon Murray, Ewing just got fired and we were after him in the portal last year, Kenny most definitely will reach out if he does

I know we tried hard as hell to get him before- yes, u r right, it would be a real get

[McRam]

Archie getting better talent here is not only more challenging, but getting them to STAY here might even be more so. When the P6 comes calling with big money..

This is such a laughable reality. So sad its all about money.

I’m trying to think of who left the top 4 teams from last year. Not many if I remember correctly. Why?

[NYGFan_Section208]

I honestly think there is room to bring in a couple of players like this one. It really depends on how aggressive Archie wants to go with the roster turnover.

How about pre 'face tattoo' Mike Tyson aggressive? That would be good.

Fordham, Richmond and Davidson...

You think we take two wing/SG players and a PG for the backcourt? Or just one wing and a PG?

Wings are always good. The more wings, the better. Buffalo... with blue cheese

Apparently, that's not always the case. There is at least one exception to the rule I am aware of...

Would love a big wing like Tyrese for the 3 have always felt terrible for Ish & Jalen last year when they had to guard soemone who was 6’7” but yes I want a pg and two sg/wings

Is he transferring?

The one from Towson is yes.

First A10 transfer of the offseason

[bigappleram]

First head scratcher of Portal season. Played 31 mins against us and killed us with 15 points. Playing for a helluva coach.

[Billyboy78]

These kids think they're good enough to move up and make more money...I'm not saying all of them, but lots of them. Watch.

[Dino611]

I’m thinking the Drame twins are staying hence why he’s leaving

[DeanDome88]

He looked really athletic playing against us.

[SGreenwell]

First head scratcher of Portal season. Played 31 mins against us and killed us with 15 points. Playing for a helluva coach.

Dunphy didn't recruit him, and he only played 18.2 MPG this year. In the final 12 games of the year, he was mostly at 20+ MPG, except for three games where he still logged 13+ minutes, so his time did increase as the year went on. But it might have been too little, too late in that regard.

[Dino611]

Any1 have this subscription interested to hear what it says

[Dino611]

Bit the bullet and it looks like it’s between us and Louisville for him

[jcru]

Thanks, we appreciate you doing that. Here's hoping. Can't go wrong with a grad student shooter or two.

[sbrand]

Getting side info from Jake. Will let you know.

[PeterRamTime]

Even if we miss on him there will be a million more to choose from

[Rhody15]

Doesn’t seem to be a significant difference maker.

[Dino611]

Doesn’t seem to be a significant difference maker.

Agreed would be a nice piece off the bench but not a big difference maker

[Jdrums#3]

Bit the bullet and it looks like it’s between us and Louisville for him

Thanks for the intel, Dino.

[PeteRI]

Doesn’t seem to be a significant difference maker.

6'5" guard averaged 12.1 points and 4.9 rebounds on 37.8% shooting for 3s and 41.8% overall. That's more production than anyone other than Ish. Just a reminder - we SUCK right now and can use upgrades at every single position.

Yes pete he did have good numbers but at the same time he had those numbers on the worst team in the southern conference, and yes he had good games for the three games against A10 teams good to hear but we can do better imho

[bigappleram]

We can’t have enough shooting on this roster so I say take them all. Hard to say who is or isn’t a difference maker without seeing what else will surround them.

Portalpalooza starts today buckle up!

And Weston had a double double against Kansas St who is a 3 seed in the tourney. You can cherry pick any stat to fit your argument.

His whole college career was decent at VMI, don’t think he’d be a huge difference maker in the A10.

Sure he’d probably help us a bit, but after El Ahmin and Betrand, it gives me pause to say a lower level player would significantly contribute here.

It’s more than 1 game and all against our league so the stats aren’t meaningless in assessing his ability to translate to higher level. We need not only a couple of potential studs but also some role players. This kid could be that type. Look at Shriver at VCU this year for a comp. His stats weren’t gaudy but he was def a difference maker for VCU to space the floor and hit timely threes. He won the game at UD for them almost single handedly.

I am not really sold on Conway either and feel there are better options out there.

But some lower-level conference players can translate their success to a higher-level league.
It all depends on how well the staff evaluates those players.

Tyler Kolek from GM is the current BE POY.
Also Dae Dae Grant from Miami/Ohio was a good fit for Duquesne.
Many more examples, of course, around the nation.

True, but Kolek was only a freshman when he transferred, Conway is a senior and probably isn’t going to get all that better next season wherever he goes.

Like BAR said, yes we need role players and Conway would probably fit that.

Wouldn’t expect him to be an all conference type kid.

I agree that if we go the direction of a grad transfer (1-year), we need a major impact player not just a role guy.

[Billyboy78]

Yes, we need role players. I want our role players to be Bassy, Tchikou, Rory, Weston and maybe the 2 frosh. I want our impact players to be Ish and 3 or 4 guys who aren't here yet.

Agree - I guess I was just pointing out the three games against A10 competition. It's better than 3 points against Richmond, 0 against Davidson, and 4 against Fordham. I guess it shows he's a capable player against this level of competition. He is not our transfer savior.

The goal is to get old at every position including role players. I don’t care if they are 1 year or 3 year option we need more scoring period.

We do, but much depends on how many spots we have open.
I still have plenty of trust in the staff in bringing in the right players.
