2025 Transfer Portal

Feels a little like a Mick Cronin team.

Measurables off the chart, should defend and rebound a ton -- offense? Eh...

Agree 100%

I dont see a guy whos a proven scorer that we can go to. Would be nice to see us add that soon.

[Xavier]

I think we have a few guys who have shown they can score. All Wright averaged almost 16 a game and averaged 25 ppg in his conference tournament. As a Freshman I think that’s impressive regardless the conference.

But overall, I don’t think we have a guy that’s going to average 17. But like 4-5 guys that will end up between 9-13 ppg. Both Wright and Pozzato play with edge to them, I don’t see either being afraid to take the shots.

But in general, yeah. Mick ideology (defense, rebounding) +fast pace offense (NM was like 3rd in country in fast pace points)

To be clear that’s an estimate, I don’t believe we’ve spent that. According to the spaces last night- X feels like they are in a good spot, they have money to make a big splash but are committed to not overpaying for a splash. But they certainly have the money left to get another solid player or two.

I hope X has enough $ left for a decent pg.

We are on that list but Louisville is not? Hard to believe we’ve spent more than they did. Not saying it isn’t possible, but it looked like they were literally throwing money at some top tier transfers I thought I saw they picked up (including Conwell).

My guess is that we are probably close...remember it said transfers only and they only signed three and they were all guards who are typically "cheaper."

My guess is that they have spent around 4 and X the same as far as transfers.

Yawn.

This is just some guy that has decided that he’s capable of estimating the market value of these players in spite of basically no hard data actually coming from the market? So first, I’d give the estimates at least a 30% margin of error.

And second, why just focus on NIL for guys coming from the portal? I mean, had we kept Conwell and Swain, we would have spent about 2 M less of the guys we got (or whatever amount). But that doesn’t mean we didn’t spent AT LEAST 2M to keep those guys.

It’s just a dumb metric. We had 1 returning guy. Of COURSE we are going to spend a bunch in the portal.

But a team bringing back 8 guys may have already committed 5M to their roster and won’t be spending much in the portal at all.

I’m just looking at this and asking myself “and….”

[D-West & PO-Z]

While keeping in mind that it’s an estimate, I think it’s pretty useful for us to see specifically for Xavier as it’s gives us a relative idea of what X’s total NIL spending is since we needed to acquire a whole team. Good to see the numbers that have been floated out there of our total NIL amount being around 5.5 mil seem to be pretty accurate. Even if that’s off and we’ve spent less so far, with Roddy (already on the roster) and some additions still to be made, I think we can all feel good about Xavier’s NIL capabilities considering it’s at or above 5-5.5 million.

[GoMuskies]

Who are the people kicking in for this? I'm pretty surprised that Xavier's collective (or whoever is handling this) can put out a call and $5-5.5 million to pay players arrives.
