2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[TrippieRedd]

Portaling is a drug. You ain't quittin' that easy. We know you'll be back for a taste.

I think the reason why I’m less engaged is because we kind of know who we’re probably gonna get. (Budd & Freeman)

Usually BTO doesn’t mention names unless there’s something there, and we usually end up getting them. I’m probably an idiot for thinking that, but oh well.

Another reason is…I know whoever we get will be good, so whatever


Edit: Oh and I’ve been traveling a little bit as well, so I’ve tried staying off the internet to focus on my family!

Just highlights how many of those conference awards are about best teams instead of best players. DK for example was on a Northern Colorado team that finished 8/10 in conference standings and 12-20 overall that year.
North Dakota is 6/10 and finished 12-21 overall this year


Also I don't think Treysen is a Grant Nelson clone at all. Nelson is 6'10" for one, and lead North Dakota State & the conference in rebounding his last year there while also being a top 5 scorer in his league.

Other than both being from North Dakota and the Summit League they seem pretty different as players.

Right, nothing like Nelson,, who is 6'11

Nah, don’t really care too much anymore. I haven’t been keeping up with much of anything lately.

I got on X, and the first tweet I saw was that this kid entered the portal.

Trippie wants to know if our basketball team can pick up a starting running back too. Ha ha.

I’m joking with ya man.

If BYU is intimately involved, could turn into a very major bidding war, which I imagine would leave us on the outs

Didn't with Chaz

All good, no harm in some fun.

I’m just not a fan of our current group, I’ll die on that hill. I’ve been wrong plenty of times and I’m sure I’ll be wrong a ton more lol

Chaz is from Nashville.

I know where he is from, but he still turned down much more money. Lots of people would turn down their state school for a lot more money. Kentucky offered more and isn't a lot different distance wise from Nashville.

Any rumblings about Blake Harper of Howard?

Agree. Lots of people would choose the money. Chaz Lanier didn’t…in large part because he wanted to play for his home state school. That’s the point.

Lanier has stated multiple times how much it meant to play at his home state school. That was a huge factor in UT’s favor with him that will not be a factor in UT’s favor for a kid from the Dakotas.
