2025 Transfer portal thread

I don't care about Butler or ND but I have a slight bias towards Xavier. Don't think they'll interrupt Indiana. Either We are good or we are, regardless of what Xavier does.
All 3 of those schools have signed Indiana kids that would have helped IU over the last 2 decades. But IU “recruits nationally”… 😂

In today's landscape, it doesn't have the same meaning. Indiana will still grab some guys from Indiana but with the portal, you'll see a bigger mix of guys. I think DeVries will try to split it. And yea, Indiana recruits nationally. Everyone does. Xavier had two guys on this year's roster from Indiana. Ryan Conwell who started at South Florida that wasn't recruited by Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame out of high school. And Bob Nunge.
 
NCAA screwed the pooch with this, more people are now concerned with the portal than the upcoming games that are yet to be played. Going forward this needs to be pushed back two weeks, at the worst start it the week of the final 4, this is like the NFL starting their FA period during the playoffs.

Needs to be streamlined big time.

Portal opens 1 week after national title game. You get 7 days to enter and then 30 to recommit.

Apparently, he’s better than smith…according to IU fans at beginning of year. However, I’d take him as a backup to allow Braden to take a break 5-7 min a game next year :

nature of the beast since most are not playing and the others are wishful for next year as you stated and can see this continue

Didn’t we recruit this kid? I’m old enough to remember when Iowa States coach was the hottest thing since sliced bread and here we have another early tourney exit and players rushing to the portal.

I was just going to post this, yes Paint wanted this kid bigtime, think we take one Center to share time w/ DJ for me Bucknell C or Youngstown C but if Paint wants this kid fine by me.
 
Might as well write next year off. Gabe Cupps to the Buckeyes. We were told he's a better version of Braden.
What do you mean?!

He’s still got time to be the BTPOTY, 1st team all B1G, 1st team AA, all time assists leader at OSU, be on track to break the all time assists record for the ncaa and win back to back B1G championships plus a BTT while leading the buckeyes to a F4 run!

Did someone post here or did I run into someone that coached Cupps in high school???? I have no idea, but vaguely remember something along those lines.

Not sure why teams waste limited NIL $ on bench guys. Get a starter.....a difference maker.

Every team I know of has plenty of bench guys, lol.

Don't understand teams that add bench guys unless they just need #s because their team was depleted one way or another. A big time D1 team adding Cupps or similar quality players to me has lost their direction.
 
Lots of options piling up but which ones are the right fit?? Good shot at a Final 4 run...should
Ballard is a 7-foot big who began his career playing two seasons at Florida State before playing the last three at Wichita State.


When does it end???????
How would he still have eligibility?
*looks like he got a medical redshirt granted recently from an injury plagued 22-23 season.
