Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

This year is going to be insane with the number of transfers due to the removal of the one-year sit out rule for transfers. I saw 2 Big East players have already entered the transfer portal:

Isaih Moore - SJU
Greg Gantt - PC

Hoping we get better players coming in than departing.....

Brendan Adams at UConn is graduating in three years and participated in senior day, so I'd say it's likelier than not that he's leaving this summer.

I think this was the obvious result of him being buried on the bench this year. KyKy was always talented offensively but I’m not sure he ever had the high major build to be a 2G, which seems like his natural position. Look at who he was being asked to guard: Duke, Moore, McEwan, Ballock, Weems, Martin/Bouk. Physically he couldn’t consistently handle those guys. I remember last year when he tried to guard Moore, Justin was able to get to the rim at will.

Wish him well. He can score the ball. Will be curious to see where he ends up. Any whispers on landing spots?

I don't totally agree, but I think that is how Steele saw it. I think his offensive strengths outweighed his defensive deficiencies, but I'm not the coach.

Gumby,
The hot rumor it's Vandy....close to home and it would give him an opportunity to be Chris Loften 2.0 and torment the hell out of the UK Wildcats from 3.

Both guys were snubbed by UK in theIr recruiting. Lofton made them pay severely....we will see but it makes sense.

.
With Archie Miller out the door, perhaps Xavier will have another shot at ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ C #13 Logan Duncomb, offered by Xavier on an Official Visit on January 11, 2020.

Rumor is one more unexpected transfer is on the horizon, but Horchler, Watson, and most likely Duke will all be back. My money, with no inside information, on the unlikely last transfer is Jimmy Nichols.

On the other end, PC has made the final 4 for FIU transfer Antonio Daye Jr. Arkansas, Clemson, Pitt, and PC are the 4 finalists.
