Does anyone have a recommendation for a website that shows you players that are leaving and coming into a given school?

Both of my go-to's Wikipedia and 247 are kinda clumsy for these purposes.

With AJ Storr's girlfriend going to KU, maybe they decided to take the economy route on their alleged take it or leave it offer. Throw a little extra cash at his girlfriend, reel him in and stay within their NIL parameters. Diabolically evil.

Jaden Schutt is a bum, I always got the feeling he thought he was too big time for Illinois out of HS, and now he's coming off a major knee surgery.

We've been bringing in transfers on the upswing or who have at least seen major minutes and could score wherever they were at previously. Heavy pass on this guy.

Don't forget our boys Quentin Snider and XRM. Ironic because that "coffee is for closers" meme used to be spammed here all the time but Groce literally couldn't close on a single big time recruit 😂

Quentin Snider was the biggest of all imo. We were in desperate need of a point guard and when flopped from UI to Louisville that was huge and was the beginning of the end to the Groce era.

I guess it depends on what exactly you are looking for... on 247 Latest College Baskeball Transfer Page https://247sports.com/college/transfer-portal/season/2024-basketball/transferportal/ . If you click on the school that the player is transferring to/from, 247 takes you to a page that shows what players that school has transferring in and what players are transferring out.

Thanks!

I'd love it if they'd include guys out of eligibility and incoming freshmen all on the same page though. Doubly so if they had some quick stats so you had a sense of how much of their production they were losing.

Has he been ranked yet in the portal?

Depends on your source. I've used 247 for keeping tabs on our targets for the portal tracker sheet, and I've found they lag by roughly 24 hours (give or take) from when guys enter the portal to assigning a transfer rating/ranking.

"JFG" was a thing for a while. Just like "BAM". Same as it ever was....until Daddy Brad came along. *knock on wood*

I would say that he ranks #1 for me as the most unlikely to follow through on a commitment of all time though - I remember that little janky presser where he called us Illinoise and seemed to have an interest level of 1/10. I was expecting him to leave from the get-go.
