Transfer Portal Watch -Basketball

[Stonewall]

I knew of one for certain that came to us . Others that didn't pass the background check.

Does absence of news mean Gregory is returning? That would solve a big question mark. Obviously Delph returning would be amazing as well.

Is May 1 the last day to enter BB transfer portal for this year?

[BambooRdApp]

Any athlete who requests to transfer after May 1 — unless they compete in a spring sport — will have to work with the NCAA in order to become eligible to compete in the 2022-23 season.

Is May 1 the last day to enter BB transfer portal for this year?

Kerwin Walton, a 6-5 SF at UNC-CH (a 3-star player from Minnesota) entered the portal about 45 minutes ago (as of 11:35 AM). Midnight tonight is the basketball deadline. Expect a bit of a last minute surge in entries this afternoon and tonight.

Interestingly, I read on CBS.com that kids can remove their names from the portal. I also read that last Wednesday (4.27.22) was the deadline for players to pull their names from the NBA draft. I wonder if AD is still in or out?

Doesn't apply to grad transfers if they haven't transferred before. As long as they have time left and have completed a bachelor's degree then they can play immediately if they enroll in a grad program. No one time waiver needed. Even those who have transferred before will usually get a waiver.

Arkansas St lands a transfer from FSU. A center from France, likely their attempt to replace Norchad Omier



They have also added a JuCo All American. Manciel averaged 15 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists 41% 3P

[Stonewall]

YES.Indeed.

[AppFan11]

And?

[firemoose]

Will announce tomorrow.

[T-Dog]

I'm gonna take a guess that this means Delph and/or Duhart are coming back.

I’m also wondering if maybe the 6’10” Nigerian guy who plays for covenant day in Matthews might be a possibility. He decommitted from Boston U a couple weeks ago and was on our radar.

per ESPN's Jeff Goodman...

Appalachian State has landed D-2 grad transfer Tyree Boykin from Union (Tenn.).

Boykin is a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 20 points per game last season and has scored more than 1,700 points in his career.


Happy to have Tyree join the squad, but I hope this isn't the big splash that was teased late yesterday.

[CharlotteApp05]

Yeah - Interesting. I do think he will be a nice pickup, but was wondering the same thing.

My guess it is. He is a 38% 3 pt FG shooter.

Same guy Boykin you posted. I enjoy seeing that even though we are not a power house, we are still a desirable enough location to land transfers in this new portal world we live in.

[asu66]

Mike Almonacy version 2.0?

Maybe Tyree will give us more consistent scoring.

[pop5app]

Really?

[Stonewall]

Leader, high character.Can score from anywhere. Comes in with something to prove.
