Transfer Portal Thread

[bleedingTNorange]

Is he the west coast player not yet in the portal Austin Price was referring to last week?

I’m not sure what you’re referring to but would make sense if so

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Sit a year and recoup/rehab from torn ACL?

I think the expectation is he will be ready for start of season

As a recruit

Yea, we got involved the first time around which I said at the time was a little strange given the competition.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We will have to see if it comes to fruition but with Oregon losing last night I would think if it’s gonna happen it will sometime fairly soon...been rumored for awhile N’faly Dante will enter the transfer portal and is a name Tennessee has been eyeing as a big man.

6’11” 230lbs 17.7mpg 8.2ppg 5.8rpg 1.2bpg 65.6%fg...would have 3 years remaining.

Good size and multiple years. Yes please

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Was Dante hurt last season too?

Tore his ACL very early

So two knee injuries in two years?

Yup

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man, we're getting a lot of turnover this off-season. Losing potentially 2 assistants and something like 5-8 players via draft/graduating/transferring...

Next year could be a mini-rebuild, or could be the year we see Barnes go for broke.

 

[BruinVol]

So two knee injuries in two years?

Risky

More Roster Movement?

I'm hearing Tennessee is debating internally as to who gets voted off the island next. It seems based on folks I've talked to that a couple of forwards could be facing the chopping block...

From Basilio's blog this morning. Sounds like a few between Olivier, Anosike, Walker & Uros may be asked to move on. Also stated that Tennessee is in really good shape with Parker Stewart if they want him.

Olivier could be asked to if it was up to me.....

PLEASE let the Vols be involved with Dante. Remember when UT was looking at him in recruiting. Loved his game in high school.

Price mentioned it when he was interviewed by the Outkick show on Friday.

He went to Sunrise Christian in Kansas, where Kennedy Chandler goes. IDK if they were there together, but could be a solid connection

VQ saying Tennessee will have interest here, and Kim English helped get him to Colorado so guessing he may put in a good word for us...

7’ 235lbs, can shoot the 3 ball too.

Hard pass

Those minutes don’t look encouraging

I agree on the surface, we could do worse, but he’s not going to move the needle much. He would essentially be a better option than Plavsic or Anosike as a backup 5.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Have to say I agree with Bruin here. (My lord)

For his career he’s a .410 from three but on less than one attempt a game.

I'll be honest, any 7' that isn't pulling down 5+ rebounds with that many minutes is also a pass for me.

Nah Kennedy went there only this season, was at Briarcrest before

They played together in the summer for Mokan Elite. He was always catching lobs from Kennedy and they won the championship too.

And Bailey may know him a little bit too. While they didn't play together, Bailey was on Oregon's roster when Dante was being recruited by them and when he took his official visit there.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Damn...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn...

Damn indeed. Stewart probably announces UT soon if we're as interested in him as speculated.

 

[VolGee4]

Damn...

Did not see that coming, but I would guess that means Justin Powell is not going to UK. Not sure what transfers see in Cal. It appears he is playing the market more to add experience to his teams, but he's really only good at the 5 star freshman thing.
