Undersized guard. But, the kid can play. Very well might be the most valuable transfer in the portal.
Eric Gaines to UAB. Elite defender. Combining forces with Jelly Walker could make UAB a very dangerous team in March.
Speaking if wku, wonder if the 7”5 sharp kid is gonna hit the portal. Gotta think he could land at a high major program.
Likely to get a waiver? The way unc played so much better without him id be leery. Granted we only have 6 players atm tho lmao
I have no idea if he’ll get a waiver but I hope so.
He’s a good player. Just sometimes things don’t work out or the fit just isn’t there.
Yeah these three are all potential first team all confeerence guys in high major leagues.
For sure. Big-time players. I think all three will be the lead guards at some P6 school.
Somebody pointed out that whoever made the screenshot had those Kentucky players at the top, because that person follows them. When I looked at Timme's followers, here are the 10 most recent college basketball players he follows:
Keegan Murray, Iowa
Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky
DeAndre Williams, Memphis
Malcolm Dandridge, Memphis
Kobe Young, Boise State
Jamaree Bouyea, San Francisco
Sydney Curry, Louisville
Zane Meeks, San Francisco
Eli Scott, Loyola Marymount
Kerr Kriisa, Arizona
So I was curious as well. Even if they weren't recent, he also does follow Cason Wallace, Livingston, and Keion Brooks
The Rafters Kentucky fans make the off-season much more enjoyable. The smallest amount of evidence something positive could happen and it catches fire and spreads. I’m really not saying that as a negative, just that Rafter rumors are really hard to put a lot of stock in.
So, in the past week we've seen Kendric Davis, Grant Sherfield, Antoine Davis - and now Tyrese Hunter and Yuri Collins enter portal. Whew boy! Portal is heating up big time. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Transfer portal sucks. It will ruin college basketball.
It makes continuity almost impossible. Turnover rates are at an all-time high. The best players on the best teams go to the NBA. The best players on mediocre teams transfer up. The role players on the best teams transfer to schools where they can get more PT. It's very difficult to retain multiple starters.
This point coupled with the new, unregulated NIL has made college basketball a complete shit show. I'll still watch and follow my team, but it's hard to get excited about the sport in general with the direction it's taking. The lack of direction and leadership by the NCAA is pathetic, but not surprising.

That's what happens in a free enterprise country lol. College athletes just want too much freedom to cash in as others have on them. And permitting them to transfer, what are they thinking lmao. I mean choosing the direction of your own life. What a bad concept.
They did choose the direction when they committed to their original school. Maybe they should honor their commitment instead of tucking tail and running to the next best thing when things get difficult? Coaching changes aside, there was nothing wrong with having players sit a year for transferring. Nothing. Now it's basically free agency and players being tampered with during the season. NIL is fine if it's truly being used for the Name Image and Likeness of the player, schools funneling money through charities and boosters paying for entire position groups. There is zero regulation to this thing and it's polluting the sport. Your oversimplification of the topic speaks volumes.
Devin Askew back in the portal. You’re a clown @SheriffBufordTJustice
I don't see a thing wrong for a player to be able improve his setting. Some settle initially because they have no choice. They improve and their choices become broader.
I was an all state running back coming out of HS I was 5'11" 165lbs. How many choices do you think I had. A year and half later I was 6' 1" 210 lbs. Suddenly my growth gave me more options.
Things like this occur. Players improve, get bigger, stronger and become more viable for better programs.
I could see a situation where the transfer portal makes a lot of high school guys become relatively “under recruited” from what they would have been, with many high-level coaches trying to save a scholarship or two for the portal instead of signing a full freshman class. I wonder if that could lead to future transfers from guys who would have been fringe power 5 level going mid-major and having to prove it out that they belong.
I agree unfortunately. Before too long college ball is gonna look like European soccer leagues, with the same teams having ridiculously stacked squads every year and the same teams at the top of the polls. And anytime someone emerges anywhere else they will get snatched up by the big dogs like soccer transfer fees. Hmmm maybe the ncaa should make schools pay each other transfer fees lol
Not much talk of Max Abmas since that Sweet 16 run last year.
Time to start a rumor. Max Abmas needs a bigger market and will soon be in the portal.
