2022 Transfer Portal Thread

Cool, they finished 9th and here's another one year guy that isn't helping build towards anything next year.

Actually, this is helping build towards next year.

I see someone prefers their Wheaties with piss.

People want to win now until getting an impact 1 year transfer hurts their narrative.

He is helping build a culture here. We’ve got two solid guards coming in who need a little seasoning and veteran leadership to help them. Cooper and Bailey will be those super seniors. They’ll get a chance to take over as sophomores.

And that is where you're wrong.

Having these one year guys, to fill holes we have, will allow the younger guys, Fernandez and Dinkins at this time, to develop normally instead of being thrown to the wolves for 35 minutes. It also allows future recruits to see where CKE is driving the Mason bus and know there will be a place for them to get minutes because there is a one year guy that will be leaving.

We heard the same about Ticket and he lasted for just the first half of the season

Double-digit scorer in 10 of 18 games in '22, finished the season tied for 2nd in the A10 for rebounds and top 10 for 3Pt %.

But OK.

 

[GMUgemini]

Things changed after that missed layup against Richmond. Also, he hadn't played those kind of minutes in about 3 years. He got tired, just like the rest of the team. It happens.

Hoping we see someone come in who can take a few minutes from Ticket next season. They tried Jones there and he wound up being moved to backing up Oduro by the end of the season. Maybe he’s the backup 4 after a full off-season, but he doesn’t have the foot speed right now to guard smaller players.

This you @masonjoe?

[Oduro] Fat and raw, DP making moves!

Oduro is a project at best

There isn’t a knowledgeable person in the country that wouldn’t trade Bailey for Hartwell or Gray (no disrespect to those two).

Too elegant and nice of a way to say that Gunnie. We have heard about how bad those guys were for months from some folks here.

you included Only Durlak truly thinks Hartwell was good at basketball

So you're saying he will be coming off the bench? I kinda doubt that

Our new PG will not be Tyree Appleby. He is staying at Florida for his extra COVID year.

I'm 100% fine w/that. Good player but a douche. Florida deserves him.

Very underrated benefit of this move. Pretty much everyone has assumed JF will just be handed a starting spot, but that might not be the best thing for him or the program. Adding another veteran guard who is physically a grown man and has played in two major conferences will allow the young guys to develop without being forced into starter minutes before they are ready.

Apologies for quoting myself, but if JF is good enough to beat out one of two sixth-year players (Cooper or Bailey) for a starting spot as a freshman, I wouldn’t complain about that either.

Pretty sure we didn't land JF by saying maybe you'll get some minutes off the bench as a freshman

Best players play. The only coaches who don’t ascribe to that philosophy are the ones looking to get fired.

KE has said as much before. Minutes are earned. I’m all for him filling the roster with talented transfers and letting it all play out.

I also think he needs to get a big that has some years of eligibility for when Oduro graduates. l don’t consider Peter as the filler for Josh in a years time.

 

[dr. gunnie]

Our 2, 3, and 5 positions are set.

Get a legit starting PG and a solid PF and this roster will be legit.

Little Oduro has to be viewed as a “what if he turns into his brother” play, purely upside. We also could add 6-9 Elvis Nnaji in the 2022 class as a developmental big to potentially take over for Josh … hopefully we won’t have to worry about it for two more years but more likely one.
