The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24

[Jersey77]

Probably time to start this thread, currently 53 players in the portal.

A10 Players:
Tyrone Baker (6'9") - Dayton
Kaleb Washington (6'7") - Dayton, former 4* top 100 recruit.
Kevin Easley (6'7") - Duquesne, their top big in 21-22 averaged about 11 pts, led team in rebounding (6.6)
Jabari West (6'8") - GW
Justin Tadjore (6'7") - Bonnies

[SGreenwell]

Agreed, thanks Jersey. I made a minute adjust to the topic title, since (at this point) we now have similar threads in the women's basketball and football forums at times too, haha.

[Obadiah]

Great informative thread to keep us all up-to-date!

[Rhodymob05]

Are these guys who are transferring mid-season?

[Jersey77]

Are these guys who are transferring mid-season?

Not sure 05, some may have entered prior to mid-season break.

[hrstrat57]

Somebody splain to me what this means. Are these players sidelined? It’s all so confusing…

Wild West hoops.

[Jdrums#3]

Yes, the Wild West. Anything goes.

And, post game handshake lines are like speed dating opportunities.

[ramster]

Yep. You definitely don’t want to miss those handshake lines

[Jdrums#3]

I wonder if it’s off base to pass out NIL agreements in post game handshake lines? Small ones…like business card sized. Can’t make it too obvious.

[Jersey77]

He is a redshirt freshman PG from Va.
Had several P6 offers out of HS: Arizonia, Mich, Northwestern, Cal, Colorado.

[McRam]

Wow, Is Loyer transferring?

Davidson was on his list before choosing Villanova. Red shirt last year. Was playing dbl digit minutes at the beginning of this year, but, had fallen out of rotation. Entered portal Dec 30. Sounds as if this might be a mid year transfer.

Anyone know the story on Easley fro,Duquesne. Looks as if he is a big(6’7” 230)with rebounding credentials and it shows him available immediately. Previously, Archie would not take a junior- wonder if that thinking has changed?

Transferred in from TCU. Played last season for Duquesne and then started this season. Playing time reduced and production this year. He served a 7 game suspension this year, returned and decided on portal. His playing time reduced due to competition being better this year.

Actually TCU was his second school, started at Chattanooga averaged 14 pts (40% 3pt)/6.3 rebs.

Recently took a recruiting trip to Nevada.

The NCAA will not allow you to play for 2 different teams in one season.

I'm not saying at all that he would play at two different schools none year.
Why would we want a guy who was suspended for 7 games this year at Duquesne and has had his playing time reduced this year at Duquesne?
Duquesne cast offs? Please no.

Provided the young man meets official requirements...I'll take a 40% 3 point guy...

Actually Ramster, that was in response to McRam's question regarding immediate availability.

I agree with you, that I don't think he would be a good fit here.

He originally committed to VCU, but changed his mind when Will Wade went to LSU.
He was rated as a 4* ESPN.

This will obviously pick up over the summer, but some names already hitting the portal.

We already have a thread started on the transfer portal '23.
Scroll down to next page, been awhile since a post entered.

It looks like that one is more for 2022-23, whereas this would be for 2023-24. I'll rename some threads to reflect that.

ETA: Actually, I was mistaken, there was one for 2023-24 already - whoops. I've tried to merge and rename some threads here, to make things more manageable.

[Rhody72]

Roster building is no longer a developmental exercise - you need to do it to compete next year and every year. Tammi gets it, and I hope Archie does. I don't want to believe Archie's song-and-dance that what he did this year was his desired strategy. I think it was his only option so he tried to sell it as a positive. I hope Archie has a reputation that will make URI a desirable destination for top players in the portal. Losing Ish or Bray would be a very bad sign for the future of URI basketball.

[KevanBoyles]

I think Archie is going to take his time and let the team grow old in experience in years 2 and 3 and build a culture along the way. Then we’ll start seeing short term transfers to shore up our weaknesses.

Just my 2 cents…

I think you can do both - develop and bring in portal surfers (transfers).

I get what you’re saying, though.

[Rhody72]

See? Posting logical, normal thoughts isn’t so hard.

I would rather be right than logical and normal - sometimes I'm both.

[Dino611]

Well we definitely know we’re going most likely have 2 transfers out this year, the two who are the most obvious, and they will be replaced with two others that are more experienced and better options

[section(105)]

Sure, I/ll bite, Bassey and Hutch?

[Dino611]

Sure, I/ll bite, Bassey and Hutch?

Yes on Bassy, but no on Lou, technically this was supposed to be his post grad year in HS so I’ll give him a little pass plus I want him to play more

The other is Samb, I truely wonder what he was developing last year while redshirting, damn you David Cox

[Rhody15]

See? Posting logical, normal thoughts isn’t so hard.

I would rather be right than logical and normal - sometimes I'm both.

Yea you sure were right when you said we should extend Cox along with then hiring Tammi to coach both the women and men.

[Rhody72]

Yea you sure were right when you said we should extend Cox along with then hiring Tammi to coach both the women and men.

You omitted that I would not extend Cox's buyout. You see my wisdom with this year's roster and no recruits from Cox's final season. My suggestion of an extension without buyout would have cost URI nothing more when terminated but allowed him to recruit which is his forte.

Are you saying that a woman couldn't coach the MBB program or are you saying that Tammi is not capable of coaching a MBB program? There are plenty of men coaching D1 WBB programs. I have confidence that Tammi could successfully coach any college MBB or WBB program. I support Archie's hire but having Tammi coach the MBB program is a viable option which would keep her here.

I am saying Tammi could not coach both the mbb and wbb team at the same time like you brought up.

Top notch troll comment.

[Rhody72]

Tammi could have an Associate Head Coach for each program. I don't think it has been tried, you might be right or wrong. You say right, I say wrong.

[RhodyKyle]

I mean, how can anyone not laugh at that assertion? That's funny as shit, right there.

Why not Iona with Slick?

[SGreenwell]

He's almost certainly going to have to transfer down, since his departure from URI (attitude issue that leads to dismissal with a respected coach) is way different than from GW (coach that recruited him got fired). Also, while it's still easier to get a waiver from the NCAA now than 10 years ago, his circumstances mean he might have to sit for a year. There are plenty of smaller D-I schools in Virginia and Maryland that would probably be interested, even with the baggage.

SG, I don't think he has to transfer down, he proved he can play at this level.
Not saying he won't moved down though.

Maybe he pulls an A10 Trifecta and ends up at GM.

Every coach feels they can correct an attitude and teach defense.
Bray has offensive skills that will attract many schools.
