Transfer Portal 2025

A 6’11 guy who can hit 3s always has some value.

They probably won’t ask him to do as much as we were forced to.

Unfortunately, Luke can’t hit 3s.

Unfortunately, Luke can’t hit 3s.

34% for a big guy is pretty good. On a better team like Missouri, he might be able to raise that a few percentage points, too.

Unfortunately, Luke can’t hit 3s.

Our defense wasn't good enough to give him enough real playing time to make 3s. Still shot close to 35% as he was.

Clemson was listed earlier but not any longer.

Seriously, I say find the money. Please.

Trilly put in a prediction for Indiana to get Lamar Wilkerson too. Maybe they’re an either/or?

 

[hoopsaustin]

Adams does a ton of stuff that doesn’t show up in a box score. He’s a great defender and very smart player. Flory has way more upside but also very raw and I don’t think was necessarily quite ready to be a guy who played huge minutes.

Agree to disagree on this one

Guessing there's going to be a flurry of announcements on Monday. Honestly thought I would have seen a higher number so far.

 

[SunshinePumper]

Still clueless on what we are doing at center. Need someone

Have been that way for 4 years

Not even close to 35 percent. Came in below 32 percent this season and 30.7 for his career.

He was a good FT shooter too. Struggles around the rim more. Lacks athleticism, aggression and confidence.

Returning to Manhattan is a possibility, huh? Okay then.

WOWOWOW

Good for Luke. Has to be cheap, almost like a walk-on spot.

Good for him. Just up the road from where he grew up. He probably grew up a Tiger fan.

I expected him to go to a mid-major or even a D-II school (like in the MIAA).

I wish him well except when we play them.

patiently waiting for that "Nijel Pack to Oklahoma for 2 million" announcement to drop

Wasn't Nijel Pack the very first NIL/transfer portal deal? I remember Miami offered him $ to transfer from K-State.

If you have athletes you can maybe hide his lack of athletic ability and just let him shoot. But in the SEC they'll just expose him on defense. I don't see him getting a ton of playing time there unless he becomes a different player. Situational stretch 4. If we had better athletes at the post I wouldn't mind OU keeping him but we still probably won't have athletes there.

Agreed on the lack of athleticism and can’t play defense.

But I have to keep saying it to dispute his reputation- not really a stretch 4 either. Can’t stretch much only shooting around 30%

But that’s just it- he can’t really hit 3s.

IIRC, 31% career at OU

People will refuse to admit this. He is a low percentage shooter who essentially had about 5 good games in two years. People remember a handful of makes and ignore the fact he’s a career 30 percent shooter from distance.

He definitely got a huge NIL contract from Miami.

I don’t think ou has enough here, especially if Indiana or kansas make him a priority.

I was so incredibly naive to think it would be quick and easy to add a solid lead guard from the portal after the departure of a lottery pick lol
