2024 Transfer Portal news

[Da Coach]

A little bit of a surprise- Evansville's leading scorer Ben Humrichous (14.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 41.4% from three) is in the transfer portal today.
He played 3 seasons at Huntington University, an NAIA school in Huntington, Indiana, then transferred a year ago and had a nice season for Evansville, helping them to a better than expected season. Evansville finished 17-18 overall, and 6-14 in the MVC. He has one season of eligibility left for his Covid year.
He reportedly might also declare for the NBA Draft and reserve the right to return to college. - https://twitter.com/JonChep/status/1773369366488252800

Really nice press release from Evansville head coach David Ragland - https://twitter.com/UEAthletics_MBB/...96388354707645

The least surprising thing in the Portal.

There are a lot of things that can impact a player now that wouldn't have been worth transferring before -

A friend who plays got on at another MVC team, (Jason Kent), the student body environment isn't as fun as the player thought it would be (Go to more of party school with big enrollment like ISU), etc. In the past a player would have stayed put because they would have to sit out an entire year to transfer, and likely couldn't even transfer to another conference team. Now it is really simple and if you have a friend or two or a boyfriend going to a school nearby in teh same conference, why not just transfer in?? I'm sure stuff like this is happening. Also, nothing to stop competitor schools from finding more NIL money to lure their conference foes players away as well.

Yeah I get it. Just as the competitive person I am, I can't envision it.

I thought this one was interesting when I saw it earlier today.

I wonder if there was a falling out between father and son or, maybe, the son is transferring on good terms with his father because he wants more playing time. Sometimes, it's difficult for a son to play for his father as there is the difficulty of separating the father/son relationship from the coach/player relationship.

I just can't imagine transferring in the conference of your previous school. Especially one that put you in a starring role

Bradley's leading scorer, freshman Hallie Poock, just committed to Murray State - https://twitter.com/HalliPoock/statu...46696135885071



That makes the second year in a row that Bradley's leading scorer left and transferred to another MVC school.
Last year's leading scorer Caroline Waite transferred to Illinois State.

So when is the Bradley WBB coaching change coming? The AD completely destroyed her credibility and made it impossible for her to succeed.

Check out the list of schools this portal transfer has interest from - https://twitter.com/PDTScouting/stat...90253617717599
It doesn't look like Bradley is on the list, but from all the high-majors listed, I don't think he's looking to transfer down to a mid-major.
