On to the best part-- speculating about what's next, even though we all know that most of the guys we get from the transfer portal will be names we haven't really heard of. Wouldn't be surprised if that ends up having a Big XII or Mountain flavor.


RUMORED INTEREST:

Jaxson Robinson, BYU – would be a huge addition to the roster;
Jacobe Coles, TCU – 6’8, 215 pounder shot 42.5% from 3 last year;
Amari Williams, Drexel – PF is 3x CAA Defensive POY;
Javon Small, Oklahoma St. – Playmaking PG has lots of suitors after his coach’s dismissal;
Aly Khalifa, BYU – BYU big is in portal and not ruling out Kentucky;


NAMES TO WATCH:

Great Osobor, Utah State – adding because Utah connection, a better Fousseyni Trarore;
Richie Saunders, BYU – entered Sunday;
Danny Wolff, Yale – 7’0 shooter who can handle;
Frankie Fidler, Omaha – projects well schematically; likely Mich St. or Wisconsin;
Robbie Avila, Indiana St. – maybe wishful thinking for some fans, but he fits the system;
Rylan Griffen, Alabama – wishful thinking for other fans, likely going back home;
DJ Davis, Butler – 95% FT shooter, can make plays and create for himself;


PREVIOUSLY RUMORED, RULED OUT:

Dallin Hall – BYU shooter entered portal following Pope’s exit, won’t be a Wildcat;


OTHER FUN NAMES IN THE PORTAL:

Marques Warrick, NKU – former Henry Clay Blue Devil averaged 19 ppg, bad scheme fit;
Andrej Stojaković, Stanford – Peja’s son, likely stays on the West Coast;
Malik Dia, Belmont – nice fit, but probably going to Ole Miss;
Kerr Kiirsa, West Virginia – likely going to St. John’s;
Jamal Mashburn Jr., New Mexico – oh, why not?;
Trey Townsend, Oakland – too soon?; no chance he’s at UK, just wanted a Cal dig;
