Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

Just ignorant spending of money. I'm ready to get it this ride.

It's definitely making me quickly lose much interest in college hoops. The Football portal is a joke too but I think it's much worse in basketball because of the way smaller roster size.
 
Looks like OSU has missed out on both of their original top portal targets. Rob Wright has chosen to return to BYU and Jalen Haralson has committed to Tennessee.

Not to seem like sour grapes but I think Haralson is a bit overrated, he's a decent player but he has some major flaws (especially when it comes to shooting) I think some in this fan base were gassing him up a little much.

It would have been great to land Haralson IMO, but at this point I'm just hoping for a team with legitimate quality depth this season. No college player is flawless, but Haralson has tantalizing talent - obviously his jumpshot is a huge question-mark but he still managed 16 ppg without one & the other thing that makes me question Haralson is why he only averaged playing 26 minutes when he was by far the leading scorer on a terrible ND team. Makes me think if he's by far the most talented guy on the team but still not playing over 30 minutes, there must be some other flaw to his game.

The Buckeyes seem to have the frontcourt in OK shape, now need 2-3 guys to play the 1-3 positions that are better than 1-4 ppg scorers.

I'm hoping for Jimmie Williams and a PG type that's at least somewhat better than Cupps

That with Jelavic and Ivan as big subs would give us a sizeable improvement over last year's bench.

Feels like they’ll end up with a 7 player main rotation. Get one more 2/3 position player then fill out with low NIL players. Depth beyond 7 would require some surprising player development.

They'd be totally screwed if they stopped where they are right now. The have no guards on the bench currently besides Myles Herro and Braylen Nash, if those guys are having to play meaningful minutes it would be a very long season. They are going to add probably 3 more guys, you'd hope at least 1 is a guy who can play good minutes at the 2/3 when called upon
