2025 Transfer Portal

[bjf123]

Has anyone ever tracked the number of players entering the portal who don’t get picked up by any other school?

De Vries to Indiana, I have to think Powell will join him.

Craft, the guy just is not athletic enough to create his own shot and defend at a high D1 level. That could be from his injuries or just a general lack of quickness.

Powell already in portal, and we all know he will end up at IU.

And your thoughts on Craft are off - have you ever watched him play? He can 100% create his own shot. He may land at a power program because of what he did and how he did it this year.

I’ve seen him play quite a bit. I could certainly be off but I see a lack of athleticism at the high major level and a guy who takes a long time to get his shot off. He’s fine at the mac level, but I don’t see it at a bigger school. Maybe a bench spark plug.

He had some good games but he also had some stinkers. Let’s not act like he lit it up every game. He scored 13 points a game and did little else to affect games. We shall see if a high major is interested. He left it open to return so he’s probably just seeing what is out there in the “free agency” market.

I saw MAC on plus this year, I agree with Xville here. He looks good in the MAC and will probably at higher levels, but if he moves to a high D1 program that will change.

I got to sit one row back from courtside a few years back at a holiday tournament in Vegas. The early games were low D1 like 280+. They were big and looked fast to me. Then the high D1 teams rolled out, the difference wasn't massive. It was just enough to make a huge difference in game outcomes. Lanes close and open shots become contested a little quicker as the college level rises.

I thought Craft looked promising at Xavier in his limited minutes, but that was two years and multiple injuries ago, so who knows. He certainly won't end up back at Xavier, but I hope he finds his appropriate level and thrives, whether it's Miami or somewhere else (unless it's Dayton or UC; then I hope he fails miserably!).

Powell entered the portal before Devries left. Not much before, but before.

I’m skeptical that Powell knew that Devries would leave. Why would he? That was a quick decision. Heck on Sunday, we all expected WVU would be playing this week.

So in my logic, Powell left both WVU and Devries. Hooking back up with Devries at IU seems illogical. But who knows…..

It’s a rumor on x so take that for what it’s worth, but there’s a rumor that devries accepted the job months ago and that’s why Tucker sat out the rest of the season. It’s a stretch, but nothing would surprise me anymore. I’m sure that kind of backroom dealing happens all the time

It wouldn't sound so nefarious if you say different. Woodson stepped down in February. De Vries was injured in December. I could see dad telling his son to not come back and play too soon, but rather fully heal his shoulder upon taking the job in February or early March. He could have only had 2-3 weeks of games to work back to game shape.

IU's NIL should be higher than WVU. He will get his son and Powell.

[GoMuskies]

That's if he wants Powell.

In three years, Sean has landed an all big east guard in each season. I really havent looked at much yet, but if that streak continued it would be a great start. (Conwell/swain/all big east guard).
