Didn't take long to trim the list. Going off nothing except speculation, I'd imagine he'll most likely end up at a Texas school next season

Chris Beard "won"the portal last year. Three of the players are now gone.

Shouldn't Mitchell also have to sit out?

I bet we see Beard be a lot more methodical in how he uses the portal going forward. Last year he took a bunch of guys who were really good on bad teams, regardless of how they might actually fit in his system. It would not surprise me to see him go a more Buzz route going forward with a "Beard's kind of guy" approach with high level players, but ones that are willing to buy into his style.

Quote:

Three weeks after putting his name into the NCAA transfer portal, Oregon State guard Jarod Lucas said he's heard from 41 schools.

Lucas, the Beavers' leading scorer this past season at 13.5 points a game, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he's whittled his list to a half-dozen schools.

Lucas recently made official visits to San Diego State and Nevada. On Thursday, he'll visit Washington State. Lucas has up to two more official visits remaining. Alabama, Louisiana State and Texas A&M are the likely targets for the final visits.

Lucas is a 90% FT shooter. We could certainly use that.

Would love to see us add this kid. He looks like a Robert Williams starter kit. Would be a nice compliment to Coleman down low and would offer some much needed rim protection.

If he's not doing anything on offense, his defense becomes extremely poor. IF he ever reached his potential, he could be a great player, but he's just not constant enough. I know he's getting a lot of love, but I just don't think he knows how to put it all together.
No D bc no O- that is not going to work for our staff.

What


I didn't expect that based off final month, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Struggled a lot but was huge in clutch. I was hoping he turned corner.

Definitely an opportunity to upgrade the talent of the roster. Now the question is - will they be able to do it?

Can't really have an opinion until we know who we get out of the portal.

I thought he was the ultimate Buzz guy.

Buzz was even handing over coaching during some timeouts if I recall. This one is a surprise. He won the Abilene Christian and Florida SEC tourney game for us. Definitely a key rotation guy even for next year lost.

Lot of players listed in this thread, its hard to know if any are actually good. So I found this list on On3, its a transfer portal ranking.

https://www.on3.com/db/transfer-portal/top/basketball/2022/

Hassan is currently #15

I don't know what that list is, but if that is supposed to be som kind of rankings in the portal then I would never access that site.

We have tried to only put good players in this thread along with guys that might have ties to Texas or A&M with maybe the one exception being Coach K's grandkid.
MarcAg

Ok that list is based off some kind of HS rankings which serves absolutely no purpose in my opinion. It's not a ranking of how good they actually are now. For example Aku is ranked ahead of Kendrick Davis and most think Davis is best guy that went into portal this offseason.

Found a top 20 transfer portal ranking on CBS

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/ranking-top-20-transfers-for-2022-all-big-12-honoree-nijel-pack-commits-to-miami-after-strong-sophomore-year/

For us semi non basketball it's hard to know who is actually good, there are so many names out there.

If we got abogidi, I think everybody would agree that was an upgrade in talent (losing Hassan) yet abogidi isn't anywhere on the list. Not meaning any offense and just trying to be honest, but if Hassan is the 15th best player on the board then it is a weak transfer season. As Marc stated, seems almost entirely ranked based on previous HS rankings rather than what you've done since.

Also, what is up with those "NIL values". Values all over the place, too 10 players worth a couple thousand, oNeill worth 2.3MM

Hassan isn't one of the top 100 players on the board. And probably isn't top 150.

I don't see how staffs navigate this mess. When does transfer season end, ie is there any deadline for portal transfers in order to play in the Fall? I think declaring for the portal must occur by May 1st, not sure if my memory is correct on that. But I definitely don't know if there is a "must transfer by" date.
