Came at him hard. Fortunately, we found Daniel. At the time he was top priority. Nice kid from a small school who loved him. We should be involved.
2025 Transfer portal thread
- Thread starter boilerzz
- Start date
Well scholarships did expand to 15 so maybe. He will be a great scout team player for them
We have a few so called ones on here that I would love to nominate!
I tend to believe Cupps in the right scenario such as OSU could become a very good player.
BUT…. There’s a lot of smoke about Willard actually to Nova.
A ton of smoke and he isn’t doing anything to alleviate or stop it - he is actively throwing gas on the fire.
My take. Nova has offered the job to Willard and he said he wants to wait until his team's season is over before making a decision.
He is very publicly asking his administration for more resources in order to pressure them to give him the best possible chance to win a title at Maryland. If they give him what he wants, he'll stay at Maryland. If they tell him to pound salt, he'll accept the Nova job.
This is kinda similar to how the Painter to Missouri fiasco played out but it was much more behind closed doors.
Totally think that is what’s happening but he is doing a terrible job playing his cards. He might get the resources but if he screws up in the slightest they will fire him
A big Purdue is speaking with along with Washington.
I thought this was a negotiating ploy by Willard, but after reading the Ross Dellenger piece yesterday, I’m not so sure.
Sounds like the non football Big East schools might be able to spend more revenue share on hoops than SEC or B1G schools.
Oh, that perception is out there. But if it's anywhere close to reality, the B1G and SEC will figure out a way to eliminate their advantage.
Not big on Washington, he’s a depth piece I guess, would rather pass on him.
I’ve seen stuff that says we are one of the leads for him with Iowa State. Not sure how much I trust the person posting but makes sense for Iowa State since Rock left.
Solid depth though. We need a better bench big than Berg or Burgess at this point (Burgess is hurt anyway)
From what I've seen and his numbers, Cluff would be a huge piece to add to this team.
We are not going to get a high scoring #5. We don't have the shots for them and they aren't going to want to play 2nd fiddle to TKR. We're going to get a guy that compliments what we already have. Rim protector, rebounder and decent shooting % from field and FT line is what we will end up with. Sure, it sounds good to say we want a guy averaging 20 a game this past season, but that isn't what is going to happen.
CMP is going to get the support guys we need and we will be top 5 to start the year next year. Book it. I think I just convinced myself!

Can’t clog the lane offensively ether. Someone that has a jumper defenses must respect so they don’t sag and double TKR.
I’m advocating for the 7 footer from Wichita state! 10ppg on 75% from the field, 1.9 blocks per game, 9 rpg and 1.6 fouls per game in 25ish mins. Not good at FTs tho.
I also like Williamson (7 ft from BUCKNELL) and Davidson (6’10 from Nevada)
Williamson is a beast. I assume he will be looking for 7 figures tho
I
don’t buy into the theory we can’t pursue a high caliber contributor at the 4 or 5 position. If we are playing the portal just play the portal and get whatever pieces paint thinks plug in help in the NC pursuit. Need someone who can create if possible
Painter just said we are going after "one or two" guys in the portal. I'm going to assume it's 2 unless he wants to keep a scholarship open for some reason.
Totally agree. Let's dance! I am hearing a few names coming and going. Back into the sweet 16 without this generations most dominate player. Painter can coach several examples past and present. Let's keep playing everything else can wait.
Yes, Ballard may be a better fit or Williamson. Idk if Ballard has range, I'm guessing no, but Williamson appears to. Haven't seen video of Davidson yet.
Correct on Ballard…hasn’t even attempted a 3 in his career 😂
I like williamson’s athletic ability and rim protection. And he can shoot it a bit outside from 3. I feel like he’s where DJ will be in 2 years.
And here is Davidson highlights…he can score and shoot the 3…37% on 4 attempts a game….he prob isn’t going to transfer here and take a backseat 😂 I hope I’m wrong.
Coming from New Castle (not there now) and knowing the Alfords I watch Nevada when I get a chance. Davidson is a player who could be a bit more physical on defense, but does play solid D. He can score from outside, or inside and makes the team around him better. This was one of Steve's worst years in Nevada, and I'm sure he's going to do whatever he can to keep Davidson.
That being said, will CMP ever let a big man move outside?
Your guess is as good as mine. I mean his son hadn't played since like December anyways.
