Transfer Portal Thread

Cortes had his worst game of his Freshman season at Tech. If somehow he goes to Tech. I hope he enjoys those padded seats down there in Tech.

Yeah, I don't see him playing at a school like Tech. They're big and he just doesn't seem like a fit.

But Cortes following two coaches now sort of speaks to the thought of him leaving. I guess we'll see.
 
I might be wrong on the flight. Hard to know.

What makes me think it's possible?

UTRGV has the following guys in the portal:

PG LaQuan Butler JR 6-0 170
PF Shavaul Butters FR 6-8 210
PG Ismail Habib FR 6-0 175
SG Quinton Johnson II RS SO 6-4 195
SF Malik Lawrence-Anderson JR 6-6 215
SF Marek Nelson RS JR 6-7 200
PG Ricky 'Doc' Nelson RS JR 6-1 170
PG B.J. Simmons RS SO 6-2 195
PF RayQuan Taylor FR 6-9 195
SF Sai Witt JR 6-8 230
 
Arky love them or hate them... they support. OU hoops fans dont. Its a sad reality. I know when we are top 10 they show up but thats not good enough.

Sadly, I agree

For any of you who listen to Teddy and Gabe's pod, they interviewed Thad Turnipseed last week. One thing that struck me was when he spoke about the Clemson football fans. He said that from the time he got there, he noticed that their fans showed up to every game on time and stayed till the end (i.e., even when they were playing terrible teams), and no matter what time the game started. He clearly believes that kind of support made a huge difference for the program.

OU fans don't even do that for the football team, let alone the basketball team. If we can't get fans to show up because game time is too early or too late or not in the perfect two-hour window for their personal schedules, it will be tough to play with the big boys when it comes to NIL.
 
He was Arkansas at an AAU tourney this weekend. He is a grinder. He'll get dudes. Just needs some time.

For sure. I'm just trying to pin down the flight lol.

It was interesting that he spoke about players creating separation. I imagine that's priority #1 for him as he recruits right now. Players who can create their own shots. Mo tried but is/was often too small.

Took a minute to look at another flight or two. This flight could/would make some sense...

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/OKC116/history/20220329/1430Z/KPWA/KHUF

Leaving Wiley Post (OKC) to...

Terre Haute, IN. Home of Indiana State. Who's in the portal from IN ST?

A total of six kids but namely, Tyreke Key and/or Micah Thomas (okpreps).

From Terre Haute to...

Chicago. That's where it gets dicey. He could be swinging by just to say hi to some Loyola friends and/or family since he's from there. But the length of stay leads me to believe it's recruiting-related. There are several Chicago D1 schools but I'll list the main names in the portal...

Zion Griffin - UIC
Terry Roberts - Bradley (an hour away but maybe could meet in Chi)
Ryan Young - Northwestern

but there are a couple of other kids transferring from elsewhere who are from Chicago. Jeremiah Williams (Temple), Xavier Pinson (Mizzou), etc. Maybe they're home...probably not.

Okay, from Chicago to...

Normal, IL. Home of Illinois State and home of? Antonio Reeves. A guy OU has contacted reportedly.

Then the last stop, before flying back to OKC, is....

Springfield, MO. Whoever is flying plans to be there almost 3 hours. The big fish at MO ST, Isaiah Mosley, isn't currently in the portal, publicly anyway. They do have a couple of others in the portal though.

Maybe, maybe not. Just sort of messing around.

You're doing the Lord's work with the flight tracking. Thank you very much for doing it!

I really wanted him last year when he entered the portal.
 
LSU is loading up fast w/ new coach Matt McMahon.

First, Kendal Coleman from Northwestern St and now Justice Hill follows his head coach from Murray St. Hill averaged 13.4 ppg, 2.3 rpg, and 5.1 apg. First Team All-OVC honors.
