  • Ability to create for others
  • Ability to get downhill and attack the rim
  • Experience as a leader of a team

Unfortunately for them, iMac will be meeting with Pat Kelsey. A complete weirdo.

Ugh I’ll be so pissed if it’s Louisville. Come on UK

UL unfortunately makes a ton of sense for IMac. He can walk right into that Reyne Smith role and put up 10 3PA a game.

I mean…never know I guess. But that would be tampering. And since it’s completely needless, way too easy to go through intermediaries, the chances of that being true seem about 1%.

My Transfer Portal Wishlist

Hopefully 1 Bucket Getter (guys with eligibility that are 20ppg+ scorers right now)

  • Markus Burton - Notre Dame ($$$$)
  • PJ Haggerty - Memphis ($$$$)
  • Barrington Hargress - UC Riverside ($$)
  • Donovan Dent - New Mexico ($$$)
  • Terrence Brown - FDU ($$)
  • Nick Martinelli - Northwestern ($$$)
  • Abdi Bashir Jr. - Monmouth ($$)
  • Trey Kaufman-Renn - Purdue ($$$$)
  • Adam Clark - Merrimack ($$)
  • Paul McMillan IV - Canisius ($$)

Doesn’t mean all of these guys transfer and many won’t but if would love to get at least 1 guy like this. We may not bring Pitino here but would be thrilled to get a Donovan Dent if we wanted to jump up to HM. If I can get 2, bang for my buck would be Donovan Dent and Bashir Jr.

Pretty sure Abdi Bashir Jr already committed to Auburn or is going there with his brother.

I’m fearful of just raw stats 20 ppg scorer. If there was a high volume scorer who could enter, Id want young Peja. Kyle Guy work your connection with the Kings please

Dent would likely be just as pricey if not pricier than Burton. He’s the best mid major guard in the country and has some draft buzz.

I would take both at that price

Fuck it, get both and go win a natty.

What’s the price?

Lots of other people’s money.

Sold!

Yep, plenty of guys on that list that probably won’t fit but calling out Dent was mainly from the scoring and distribution ability and a guy like Bashir Jr. that scorers on high volume 3’s feels pretty transferable. There are some names in there that are like 6’0, shooting below 30% from 3, so those would not be ideals.

Also I saw juco Bashir going to Auburn but is this guy related to him? Nothing about a brother on is Monmouth page

I might be getting my names mixed up but the auburn commits are also from the same area. Maybe all related? idk

But if we keep racking up TJ Powers, we get less play money

My Transfer Portal Wishlist (Part 2)

A glass crashing big that will actually get rebounds and ideally buy us some additional possession on the offensive glass (guys with eligibility that are 6’8+ and averaging above 9 rpg but with 2.5+ orpg)

  • Duke Brennan - Grand Canyon ($$)
  • Nikolaos Chitikoudis - NC A&T ($)
  • Rafael Castro - GW ($$)
  • Baye Ndongo - Georgia Tech ($$$)
  • Corneilous Williams - North Alabama ($$)
  • Carson Towt - Northern Arizona ($$)
  • Jamichael Stillwell - Milwaukee ($)

Give me 1 of these guys to go alongside whatever we keep in bigs since rebounding was a huge struggle.

Now we are talking

This one popped into my mind as one that might fight well with Odom as a veteran bench presence when he entered the portal. Not sure he’s a starter for us.
