The Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel 2023-24

[Jersey77]

Wonder what happens to the other big names at WVU: Battle, Edwards, Kriisa, Perez, and Toussaint.

The roster is falling apart, not unexpected.

[Blue Man]

Mazzulla to WVU players: “don’t leave, be a Mountaineer!”

WVU players: *leave*

His speech to the team went over super well.

You can see with motivational skills like that, why the Celtics won the NBA title this year.

Everywhere he goes the coach gets fired. Cal better update that resume.

kinda doubt that even...

Beginning with the 2022-23 season, he still had $61.5 million left on his deal. It would be a steep buyout if Kentucky were to fire him. If fired, Kentucky would owe Cal 75% of what remains of his deal. If he was fired this offseason, he would be paid $39.75 million.

Tre certainly isn’t at fault for Beard or Huggins getting arrested!
But this is the new world of the ncaa.
I can’t wait until players can just leave any “school” at any time and be immediately eligible anywhere they can make more money or get more love.
Four “schools” in five years. How many more years eligibility will Tre have when he leaves UK?

It is just a matter of time when players can transfer midseason & play right away. The rationale will be, "why should this elite player on [insert a low mid-major here] have to sit out for the tournament. They should be able to play for [insert a P5 school here] immediately!"

[section(105)]

Or players can transfer at half time and play for the opponent for second half…….

[bigappleram]

I think actually the opposite will happen and more controls will eventually be put in place. It's the wild Wild West until the NCAA can exert some control at some point. While no going back on players earning dollars I do think there will be some controls in place that regulate the market, create windows when things can and cannot happen, etc. All pro leagues have these protocols in place and if in fact college football and basketball will mimic pro sports then it is only natural there will be transfer windows etc.

[Billyboy78]

Make high school recruits play 2 years before they can transfer without sitting out, unless there is a coaching change.

Yes, I meant to type “portal” instead of “NIL.” My bad there.

The point still stands.

There will never be a policy saying incoming freshman have to stay for two years unless there’s a coaching change. Nonstarter.

Suggest adding to this, if they found out for one team they change jerseys and continue playing

Some news on Jalen Carey. Was verbally committed to Temple, but accepted a pro offer.

Just because it will never happen based on the direction that things are moving in, doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good idea for improving the landscape in college basketball. Both of your points can be correct, and are correct in my opinion.

[bigappleram]

It’s not like 15 has ever said something had zero chance of happening…and then it happened….days later.

Anyone claiming things in such a an absolute way is destined to be made a fool.

[ramster]

wow, could we ever use this guy

He's so good. Someone is getting brizzed from a P5 to make room for him.
Wonder what happened at UT.

[RI_Bred]

I think that's just insane that he entered the portal, committed to transfer to TN, and now can re-enter the portal (assuming he's looking for or has been offered more money). Where are we going with all of this, Jeez?!

Rick Pitino strikes again. Pitino only kept the St John's starting center, Joel Soriano from last year's roster. He has rebuilt St John's in 4 months to a potential Top 25 Team. Ludlum a huge pick up for St John's.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/former-vol ... 39948.html

[ramster]

23. St. John's

Projected Starting 5:
G Daniss Jenkins
G Jordan Dingle
G RJ Luis
F Chris Ledlum
C Joel Soriano

Projected Bench: Simeon Wilcher, Drissa Traore, Cruz Davis, Quinn Slazinski, Sean Conway, Brady Dunlap, Naheim Alleyne, Zuby Ejiofor, Glenn Taylor Jr.

Key Newcomers: Daniss Jenkins (Iona), Cruz Davis (Iona), Quinn Slazinski (Iona), Sean Conway (VMI), RJ Luis (UMass), Glenn Taylor Jr. (Oregon State), Naheim Alleyne (UConn), Brady Dunlap, Jordan Dingle (Penn), Zuby Ejiofor (Kansas), Simeon Wilcher, Chris Ledlum (Harvard)

Yes Ramster, they certainly look loaded this season.
Aside from some very talented and high scoring transfers, they also recently signed 4*/5* top 30 freshman recruit Simeon Wilcher who had decommitted from North Carolina.

He would be a great start for 24-25.

St. John's will need to reload again after this season.
They lose:
Soriano (15 pts/12 rebs)
Dingle (Penn. 23.4 pts/ 3.6 rebs/ 2.3 assists)
Ledlum (Harvard 19 pts/8.5 rebs)
Jenkins (Iona 15.6 pts/ 5 assists)
Conway (VMI 12 pts/ 5 rebs)
Slazinski (Iona 11.3 pts/ 5.7 rebs)
Alleyne (UConn 5 pts)

Might have to subtract Slazinski from the list above per Zags.
St. John's over the limit (13) with the addition of Ledlum.

No problem. St. John's reloaded THIS season. Only Soriano was kept on by Pitino. 1 player and Pitino just started in April only 4 months ago.
Pitino is not worried about reloading next year or any year.

One year at a time in college basketball for most teams now

I've heard said by some here that Cox got left with very little talent by Hurley. If Jacob Toppin makes the Knicks, which I think he will, that means Cox had a team with 3 future NBA players on it. Dowtin with Toronto, Martin with Atlanta and Toppin with NY Knicks, plus Fatts Russell. All Cox teams decreased in talent from that team. Toppin and Martin chose other pastures to develop their skills and bodies. No URI team has had 3 NBA players on it at the same time that I can recall.

URI had $1.5 million from Hurley's buyout by UCONN plus 2 years of NCAA Tournament money having gone to the 2nd round twice. But we went cheap at $700k per year with Cox.

Should have gone after a Pitino or Archie level HC then, not an unproven, inexperienced assistant.

What might have been...............

Pitino got a starter in Ludlum in mid July taking a roster slot plus lots of playing time minutes

West Virginia has openings due to unexpected Huggins departure.

These late roster moves are unsettling to players on teams in positive and negative ways.

Mid season transfers some day?
