2024 Transfer Portal news

[egib52]

Former Missouri State big man NJ Benson, who Bradley recruited in the portal, has just committed to DePaul.
I guess he's going for the NIL money with a horrendous perennial last place team instead of wanting to play with a good team.

I think Holtmann is going to build a winner there. He's a good coach/recruiter. However, Benson against Big East bigs is going to really test him.

I think he will rise to the challenge.

Yes, it is all done through a sophisticated online system that connects the player with the teams that are interested, and allows them to set up further communication with the teams they choose to talk to.

Here is an actual photo of the transfer portal. (Are there any 1960s sci-fi TV watchers here?) TT.jpg

Bryan Mullins prob working overtime on all the MVC guys like NJ, Hickman, Alston- lots of instant playing time & they’re working hard to raise NIL $

That is what I thought since DePaul has gotten 2 Valley players out of the portal.

Evansville takes another hit- they lost their leading scorer Ben Humrichous last week, and today, Chuck Bailey, thei top freshman is in the portal. He played 18.4 minutes per game and averaged 8.4 ppg and 2.6 rpg, and shot 40.9% overall and 35.2% from three. - https://verbalcommits.com/players/chuck-bailey-iii

I don't have a link to this, but I read on another board that every Louisville MBB scholarship player has entered the portal. No link, so take it for what it's worth, I suppose.

Wouldn't surprise me. They won 3 conference games and only 8 wins overall this year.
