Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

#1 rated transfer C Flory Bidunga is reportedly asking for $5M for one season. Duke is involved.
Saw one place where he was ranked the #9 C in the draft and was projected to be a late first round pick. If he can get $4-5M for one year, he should definitely stay in college.

I do like Justin Pippen to be a starter for OSU. You have to remember Juni Mobley is limited defensively, so anyone you are going to pair with him in the backcourt for any length of time must be a strong defender. Pippen is in the 90th+ percentile in block and steal percentage, also an elite assist man.

“He projects as a combo guard at Ohio State who’ll take a role similar to the departed Devin Royal.”

I know Royal didn’t play either guard position so is Thamel referring to the role of average 3-point shooter?
Yeah, that's the part I wanted to clap back on. No way is he comparable to Devin Royal. Justin Pippen is a combo guard. Devin Royal is a tweener SF/PF. You could see Justin Pippen play at the 3 possibly in a small lineup but that is unlikely to be where he fits in most of the time.

There’s one in the fold. Scottie’s son and former UM player, recently at Cal.

Double digit scorer at least so I like the upside.

Will be his 3rd school in 3 years but I guess that’s normal now.

Pippen was a pretty good player for Cal this year, this is a good pickup. Good distributor and a really good defender.

Of course, predictably some are having a meltdown already though because he's not rated as a top 5 transfer at his position.

How many Nascar drivers in your neighborhood around Lake Norman?

I'm in Mooresville. So... all of them? LOL.

Back in Chicago when someone with a straight pipe Mopar product drove by I chuckled at the posers... in Mooresville? There's a better than puncher's chance that it's someone associated with building one of the team's engines or at least on one of the crews. NASCAR culture is apparently a real thing down here. Who knew? No joke, when we first met our closest neighbor, he asked my wife "who her driver was?" She thought he meant who we use for driving us to CLT.

I don't know any of the drivers, I guess, except Hornish... but I don't think Sam lives down here, does he? I think he's still got his place in Napoleon... so I don't really know for certain who owns what as far as drivers or anyone on the teams goes. That said, I do live around the corner from McCaffrey's place. I don't think he lives there at all but I think it's currently off the market too. Nice digs, he's got.

OSU will have a season-opening "neutral" game against BYU in Salt Lake City on November 2nd. I can't remember MBB playing an actual game as early as November 2 before.

Also known games are vs. Kansas on 12/19 in Madison Square Garden and @ Notre Dame TBD. https://www.dispatch.com/story/spor...-season-opener-in-salt-lake-city/89541344007/
Might as well since they don't play in early April;-)

Too harsh?
