The transfer portal is driving Dick Vitale crazy, baby
The flood of college basketball players into the transfer portal isn’t sitting well with ESPN analyst Dick Vitale.
Here are a few of his tweets over the weekend.
Dick’s objections haven’t done much to stop the avalanche.
Some highlights:
▪ Kentucky has picked up transfers Oscar Tshiebwe from West Virginia and Kellan Grady from Davidson. John Calipari is reportedly in the mix for Minnesota guard Marcus Carr, among others.
▪ Over the weekend, Louisville added Florida shooting guard Noah Locke. He joins Miami transfer Matt Cross and Marshall transfer Jarrod West.
▪ On Sunday, Alabama received a commitment from Furman forward Noah Gurley. He averaged 15.4 points and 5.8 rebounds last season. He joins Texas Tech guard Nimari Burnett, who is transferring to Tuscaloosa.
▪ Arkansas has added transfers Chris Lykes from Miami, Au’Diese Toney from Pittsburgh and Stanley Umude from South Dakota. Umude averaged 21.6 points and 7.0 rebounds a game last year.
▪ Auburn received a commitment from Eastern Kentucky guard Wendell Green.
▪ Pittsburgh point guard Xavier Johnson is transferring to Indiana.
▪ Florida has commitments from Brandon McKissic of Kansas City and Penn State’s leading scorer Myreon Jones, who averaged 15.3 points per game last season.
▪ Missouri has added Amari Davis from Wisconsin-Green Bay, Jarron “Boogie” Coleman from Ball State and DaJuan Gordon from Kansas State.
▪ Tennessee has a commitment from Auburn guard Justin Powell, the former Trinity and North Oldham star.
