At one point, I was hoping we might have the possibility to get Oweh. He is a pretty good one.

I think Oweh is a good player. I do not, however, think Kentucky fans will think he is good enough for them.

Just think how great we can be this year wihtout adding anyone more if we are 8th when we were 41st last year and hit the Elite Eight with a final #6 ranking. Things are looking pretty good and BU is still in the kitchen! Life is good.2024 Transfer Basketball Team Rankings 4/25

He was really their only good player that game but he was also soft and did not seem like an EDG.

He was good in Omaha! Probably following his coach.

The Christie’s seem to be ABI.
They're ranked that high largely because of the volume of transfers, not because the transfers themselves are established high-level players (other than Boswell). Definitely still need a star... or two.
The wing is which ever wing commits to us, that is the one we were waiting for
White was top 40 and booth top 60 in their class. These guys have a lot of upside.
We do need a star, but we aren’t ranked so high just on volume.

Any ideas on how many players enter the portal and end up without a seat when the music stops... and their spot at current school has been filled.?
I like the look of this one; but assume interest will be high and Kentucky will be a favorite.
Can someone please explain the draw to Memphis for top players? Penny’s program seems to be a hot mess that consistently underperforms with top tier talent year after year. They don’t play in a top tier conference nor do they get a ton on national exposure. I genuinely don’t get it2024 Transfer Basketball Team Rankings 4/25

Currently the 64th ranked team. Adding Humus gets us inside the top 50. A lot of work needed to be done

FedEx pledges $25M to NIL program at Memphis
FedEx has pledged $25 million over the next five years to be used in sponsorship deals with University of Memphis athletes.
Bardo on his podcast mentioned Minny is behind others with NIL/$$$. I imagine they will lose players who are on the fence or wanting more NIL.
While I can understand a moderate amount of angst due to the lack of star power committed, I like where we stand:
1) We know the status of Domask and Hawkins. That opens up desirable slots for stars.
2) Role players have been gathered FIRST. I think it is best this way, since gathering stars then luring guys in to play behind them is less desirable IMHO.
3) As been stated on here, $$$ spent early by other teams allows our $$$ to be spent on those pulling out of the draft (most talented players).
4) The $$$ market is set now. Allows funds to be allocated "properly" rather than early overspending.
5) Antigua is on staff = more prospects.
6) Brad is cooking.
We'll be just fine.

Is that two words?
I hear you but, we did have Hawkins and TSJ both return also and i would assume they werent counted in the portal rankings.
