The 2023 Official “Jay Bilas No Rules” Transfer Portal Thread

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

'22 four star recruit from Nebraska (Isaac Traudt) has entered the portal. Looks like he redshirt at Virginia this year. He's a 6'10" FR. Don't know much else about him.

I think I'm a little obsessed with adding size to the roster.

Would love to add him to the mix! My guess is that he is Cretin bound. Originally from Grand Island, NE and recruiting by everyone and their Mom out of HS.

Apparently his girlfriend goes to Creighton so I'd scratch him off the list.

I don't know. Creighton girls love the Shocker. Could be the best thing for their relationship.

There's also a 7' C leaving Oregon who is from Arkansas. He was the #8 player in his class I believe. Gonna guess he can pretty much go anywhere he wants.

Kentucky's PG, Sahvir Wheeler in the portal. Houston kid.

Shox wanted him bad before he transferred to UK a couple years ago. Shox made his final cut.

Wichita State has reached out to Cal transfer Sam Alajiki (6-7, 230) with 2 years of eligibility left. Averaged 6.1 points & 3.6 rebounds as a part-time starter for Cal this past season. Looks like he was recruited by Mills at ORU the first time around.

Kel'el Ware. Originally from Little Rock. Averaged 6.6 / 4.1 and 2 blocks this season. WIth Muss at Arkansas I will give you one guess as to where he will end up...

Although, I just looked it up and he was offered by Oral Roberts out of HS. #7 ranked player in class of 2022.

Update: Oral Roberts made his final 10 list out of HS.

Thank you Pin. Does any one know if any ORU players have hit the portal?

Might be worth a look especially if he is from the Planet Krypton. He doesn't have a cousin named Kal-el does he?

Another PG that will be generating plenty of interest just hit the portal. Caleb Love of UNC-CH. A 6'4" junior for STL

This was in the other portal thread in the Men's Basketball forum:

https://shockernet.net/forum/wichita-state-athletics/wichita-state-men-s-basketball/1382375-the-2023-official-%E2%80%9Cjay-bilas-no-rules%E2%80%9D-transfer-portal-thread?p=1388526#post1388526

Now, why we have two 2023 Transfer Portal threads in two separate forums is not clear to me but we do.

Offered by both WSU and Oral Roberts out of HS.

Sam needs some coaching. He clearly has some skill and perhaps more physical ability, but there's no excuse to be a 39% FG and 55% FT when you're a VOLUME 3 guy (33/92 36%).

HCPM has made it clear he's looking for a fit. To me at least, it kind of takes the fun out of looking for recruits. It's probably just me though. All I can hope for is that he can find some "fits".
