2024 Transfer Portal news

Here is an unexpected one- Northern Iowa's Nate Heise enters the transfer portal- https://twitter.com/VerbalCommits/status/1769793539615957216

He will be a grad transfer, but could have 2 seasons of eligibility left if he chooses. He has a Covid year, plus a year for the redshirt he took last year.

Also for UNI, seldom used sophomore guard Ege Peksari also hits the transfer portal-

Another transfer from UIC- leading scorer Isaiah Rivera enters the portal- he has one season of eligibility left. He averaged 15.4 ppg, and shot 41.6% from three. Bradley recruited him out of high school in Geneseo, Illinois.

I thought he was impressive, but wonder if someone like him is worth pursuing considering his limited eligibility. I think anyone with less than two years of eligibility doesn’t benefit the program.
 
I wonder if he or a family member has a connection with a major school like Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, etc, and they are open to taking him. He would probably end up being a reserve on a major team like that, but he has the talent to contribute.

Depending on the roster needs that year, he could definitely be bit contributor for a year. Plenty of grad transfers contribute a ton. Look at Rienk, Domask, etc this year in the BIG10. You don't pass on those types of players just because it changes up roster construction a bit for a year IMO.
 
If they even avg 10-12 ppg or are good ball handlers, there will be some P-6 team that will take as a backup,
Like ISU’s Josiah Strong who bolted for Colorado State so he could average 4ppg behind Isaiah Rivera

Cole Henry, Nate Heise, Ege Peksari, and now Michael Duax leaving. And as you noted, in past seasons, their roster has remained amazingly stable.
I'm beginning to wonder if something might be about to happen at UNI.

id take Titan Anderson off their hands
 
Yesterday, there were around 200 names reported to be headed for the transfer portal.
24 hours later, the number will approach 500 by the end of today.
I thought maybe because around 30% of the players in last year's portal never landed at another D1 school that maybe players would be a little more cautious, do their homework, and be sure they can get other D1 offers. But that does not appear to be the case. Must be that imaginary pot of NIL gold that means more to most of them than playing for the coach that recruited them.

There is no loyalty in this generation of kids. They want immediate gratification.
 
After reading all these comments, I hope Bradley can keep their 3 main starters from this year! That's Hannah ( if he chooses), Hickman and Deen! I also hope we keep at least a few good rotational starters/ Bench players! I'm thinking Davis, Atlison, Burch! But we need much more good depth! To risky to only go 7-8 deep! 9-10 deep solid players sound good! Injuries happen and we lucked out this year only losing Connor for abit! But Indiana State lost 2 games when Kent was injured and they paid the price in that loss at home to Illinois State! So let's go Grab a Bunch of very good portal players!!! We could possibly have the edge next year to win the Valley tourney by being the most stable program! I mean it already looks like Indiana St. Will lose their coach. Drake could be next and Tucker goes with his father. Northern Iowa loosing good players. Belmont is losing 2 key players and SIU has just 4 players left and must do a total Rehab!!!! So Though the Valley could be weaker next year, but if that gives Bradley a better chance to Dance, then let's do it!!!! I can't wait to see who we get in portal! I think will be maybe favored next year in a weaker Valley unless a Valley team can pull off a total rebuild like Utah State did and a few others. Will be waiting to see!
