Assuming you are talking about the WV kid

Yes. His biggest complaint apparently was Huggs played him out of position all year at the 4 instead of the 3, which I would agree that's his natural spot. I've watched every game that kid has played and one of my biggest complaint on him is with the skill set he has, he just never takes over games and dominates and gets real soft at times.

Sounds pretty similar to what I thought of Savion Flagg during his time here honestly.

Not sure he's a real option for us but sounds like he might not be the best fit for Buzz's style of play. Who knows though, maybe a change of scenery is all that's needed. Sure seemed to work for Tshiebwe this year.

I think a lot of questions are going to be answered by the coaches' opinions on who can handle the ball next season.

If Wade/Boots/Manny can manufacture our PG/ballhandling it opens up more roster space for front court support.

I don't see us going after a "true PG" as people here often say. I think we targeted wings and big men.

Yeah I don't think it's a good fit IMO.

Don't get me start on that Oscar deal either. I could rant forever on that.

I agree. We aren't going to have many spots available, although I do wonder a bit if we might end up with one less guy in the incoming class. With Radford, Manny, Wade, and Diarra all showing some ability to provide productive minutes as the lead guard, and with Radford and Manny playing big enough on defense and the boards that we can afford to play three guards consistently (thus alleviating the pressure on the nominal PG), I would expect us to prioritize length and size on the wing and in the paint.

If we don't find a n offensivereplacement for Q, we have legit hope of guys like IV and Mo improving enough to offset that to a large extent, when combined with the assertive version of Radford. We don't have a guy on the roster who can give us the bigger, longer athletic defender that we need. That's the guy we have to go find, and I don't think we can afford to rely on the LA kid for that, because (a) he's a fish coming from a small LA school, and (b) he may be too much of a liability offensively to play major minutes even if he's good enough defensively and athletically.

Now those are the portal nuggets we are looking for.

He has some length and shoots FTs very well. He could be the kind of guy we are looking for to replace Q's offense. Would be interested to know how well he defends.

Trevon Brazile tells me that he has heard from the following schools since entering the transfer portal: Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Cincy, & more.

I really like this kid. Long, athletic, shot blocker, very good rebounder and he can shoot pretty well also.

The last handful of games in SEC play he was basically a consistent 10 point, 8 rebound, 2 block per game guy which is why you see everyone in the SEC contacting him.

Yeah, he would check a lot of boxes for sure.

Brazile is a take for sure. Unless he hates to play defense.

Dontaie Allen, 6'6 SG from Kentucky hit the portal. Averaged 6 minutes per game this year.

Ranked in the top 75 by Rivals (No. 68) coming out of HS, where he averaged 31 ppg.

Was recruited by Buzz at Va Tech

Xavier Foster, 6'10 from Iowa State (four-star recruit) is an interesting transfer. He was dismissed from the team for an alleged sexual assault. He was recently cleared and his recruitment is wide open.

I'm taking him. He was a mess this year. But the first season he showed a little something. If he can regain that shooting touch he had his first year then he helps us a lot. Change of scenery probdbly will be good

looks like he'd be a 4th year with up to 3 seasons eligibility remaining

Lyle Wolf "liked" this tweet, FWIW.

I’ve decided that it is best for me to start a new chapter in my life and enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. I want to say thank you to everyone who has been a part of this ride with my teammates and I. Forever a Trojan at heart. Thank You for everything! ✌️ pic.twitter.com/fK90QspEPv

I didn't watch much Pac basketball this year, but my initial take is he looks like a bad shooting DJ Hogg

So DJ Hogg 25/32 games?

Louisville, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Virginia, Cincinnati, Xavier, NKU and Western Kentucky are among the early schools to express interest in Kentucky transfer Dontaie Allen, source tells KSR

— Jack Pilgrim (@JackPilgrimKSR) March 25, 2022

Not sure what has happened to this kid, but he's barely played for DePaul or Nebraska after being a highly touted recruit. Back in the portal. Was a four-star rated #96 in his class.

Keon Edwards

Evidently Pasadena is his hometown, but he played HS ball at a couple prep schools.

September 21, 2018: Offer - Texas A&M Aggies offer Keon Edwards

LSU guards Brandon Murray and Xavier Pinson become first players to transfer, reports say

Let the mass exodus begin at LSU. This was a LONG time coming.

Ryan Young, 6'10, 240 averaged 9 ppg, 4 reb for Northwestern.

Yeah Bridges couldn't play for Huggins, he won't do well with Buzz. And Buzz would play him at the 4 as well.

Newest schools that have entered the sweepstakes for South Carolina transfer Erik Stevenson, sources told @Stockrisers, include:

Texas A&M, Cincinnati, Arizona State, and the new staff at Missouri, led by Dennis Gates. https://t.co/fsK5FkSfNk

— Jake (@jakeweingarten) March 25, 2022

Stevenson is a SG who is a career 35% FG shooter and 30% 3 pt shooter and never really got any better at either over 4 years. Seems like a roster full of those guys would get a coach fired...

Texas Tech's Terrence Shannon Jr. tells me that he is entering the transfer portal.

Will still consider a return to Texas Tech.

Averaged 10.4 PPG.
