2024 Transfer Portal news

[Da Coach]

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.

This may not be official, and I don't know how many players they had, but Verbalcommits shows 11 Louisville players in the Transfer Portal.
Schools like Louisville that had a coaching change have been hit especially hard.

I saw that Rhode Island has 8 players in the portal, including Zek Montgomery, and they didn't change coaches - https://twitter.com/0wenCarlson/stat...16328653066521

Looks like Rick Pitino is up to his usual tricks with tampering and offering impermissible benefits to players on other teams to transfer to St. John's. - https://twitter.com/S_CharlesNFL/sta...21086509425054

Recall that Pitino cost Louisville over 120 wins that they were forced to vacate, as well as a Final Four season in 2012 and the NCAA National Championship in 2013, which were also vacated due to Louisville's stripper scandal - https://www.12up.com/posts/revisitin...r-01e70rjhyye7

Why this guy was allowed to still coach I will never understand. After 2013 he should have been disgraced and never to return.

Now that it appears ZEK is coming back, what about Reink??? haha but wouldn't that be the talk of peoria and college Basketball!!! I guess I can't be to Greedy....the odds of getting just 1 player back is Astronomical!!!! But you did it ZEK! Now that we have this Division 2 player ConnorDillon committed to BU, let's hope in the future other players will want to come home! I'm thinking of Lathan Sommerville who could follow in his dad's footsteps!!!! He may not like Rutgers as he thinks! It's just a thought....I wish we could have gotten him right out of highschool!!! Another thought: to bad D.Hannah Brother couldn't be convinced by older brother to keep the Hannah name going at Bradley! Just wishing that our connections to peoria ( Marcus Summerville) and Our connection to the Hannah family would have brought us an incredible roster next year! However, we are still fortunate if we can bring in some more experienced portal players!!!
