2022 Transfer Portal Thread

I love the idea of getting P5 players. However, I think we saw last year that getting starter minutes is a big adjustment. Just food for thought

You are right. Even though this kid was a top 40 prospect, who knows what he development curve is adjusting to legit minutes. Personally I'd love to get a kid like this, have him learn under Oduro for a year (or two) to tap into his full potential.

That said there's also like 50 other schools who probably think they can do the same thing. Can dream though.

Whether its this kid or someone else, depth is needed because there is going to be an adjustment to playing big time minutes.

There is a difference between starter minutes and "being the only option" minutes. Hopefully last year was more of an aberration and we have more depth this year so it won't be as big a change with this type of transfer.

A former 5-star recruit most likely isn’t coming to Mason, but he’s definitely not coming to sit behind anyone lol

and those who cant earn a starting spot hit the transfer portal every year

Yeah. If it continues like this, the NCAA might as well drop the scholarship limit from 13 to 7. Everyone else can be walk-ons.

As I understood it, a player may transfer only once and be able to play immediately. A subsequent transfer means sitting out a year. Sitting out a year is still a compelling deterrent. I'm curious, how many players have made multiple transfers within the current system? How did Justin Kier transfer twice, UGa to Arizona, without sitting out a year? Did he use his "free" transfer and then a graduate transfer? This transfer business is caca-coo-coo.

Because he's grad transferring

Kier got 6 years of eligibility (similar to Cooper), after he red-shirted his senior season. He grad transferred twice.

Jaelin Llewellyn to Clemson. Thought he’d do better, but I guess ACC is ACC even if the program is mediocre.

Not sure what this means, but per Twitter the staff has been in contact with former Belmont G JaCobi Wood. Seems weird because he just announced a top-6 schools and Mason wasn’t one of them.

"Former Charlotte guard Jahmir Young is focused on the NBA Draft process, but is receiving substantial interest in the transfer portal he tells me. Gonzaga, Miami, Wake Forest, UConn, George Mason, Maryland, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Cincinnati & Georgetown are interested."

Let your dreams run wild.

Now if there was ever someone worthy of @bygeorge tweet assaults this guy would be it. The exact opposite of any point guard we have had since Cam Long. Completely ball dominant, not afraid to take tough shots and can actually dribble the ball.

Came here for @sleeperpick's reaction haha

I was surprised to see us even mentioned in this list.
