2021 Transfer Portal Thread

That's a bummer about Jackson, but I wish him the best! Probably a good decision for him.

Toppin is another player who I guess you could call a "frontcourt" player, but he isn't really. He can play big but he's much better as a rim runner/open-court athlete sort of player.

I look for good things from Toppin. His hustle is great no matter where he plays.

Per Jon Rothstein, the SEC will vote on its intraconference transfer policy today.

It's expected to pass but if not, Saavir Wheeler will have to sit a year.

The SEC passed this. Wheeler (looks like it’s SAHVIR, good to know) is eligible.

Zagoria reports that Jalen Duren, the top player in the 2022 class, is reclassifying and will enroll somewhere to play next year.

This was shot down by Givony a little later (Givony says this *might* happen, but things need to get worked out before he can graduate), but if Zagoria's reporting is true then it's pretty big news.

Kentucky is obviously interested. Duren won't turn 18 years old until November.

If Cal can pull that off it would be amazing, but if he goes anywhere other than Kentucky I would rather him not reclassify and go the pro route.

I know nothing about this kid. Is he a big or a shooter?

Duren’s incredible. He’s 6’10” with a chiseled frame, but moves like a ballerina. He does some things that are hard to fathom.

Landing him would vault us into championship contention, simple as that.

Thank You! Sounds a lot like Zion, only bigger.

You know I've been on top of all the article/updates re: J Duren...practically stalking the kid! Lol Regardless if the reclass goes through and he goes on a few visits, he still has the pro route listed as one of his options. Hell, he may pull a Scoota Henderson reclass to get a jump start in the pro league. But I'm with you DVZ IF we land him . Trying NOT to get too excited of the possibilities like I said I wouldn't so early this season-oh, and Michigan is our competition too (and some believe Miami because they hired one of his HS coaches).

Thanks. He would be a great addition, if we can get him.

Y’all need to start keeping a close eye on the Jalen Duren situation.
