We will likely be looking to load up in the transfer portal this year. With so much experience leaving and the rest of the team being young, look for Wade to hit the portal hard. He said he expects the Big 4 to leave and will be recruiting accordingly. Likely a few others now getting Pt may leave also. That being said is anyone keeping up with it? What does the transfer look like? Are we in the running for any of them? I’d expect it to be deep this year. Are we in the running for anymore elite high school guys? What do the next couple years look like for recruiting? Can we land a few more guys like we have recently?

It's behind The Athletic paywall, but Sam Vecenie has done a good job tracking it:

Ranking 50 Best Available College Transfers and High School Recruits

His list includes some of the remaining un-committed recruits but provides excellent coverage on each option.

It's insane he's having to update it at least daily with how many players are putting their name in the portal

11 of the top 20 are transfers. Hoping Wade can land a big one

Pay site, I'm not interested enough to subscribe. I am curious, though. One of my son's old teammates entered the transfer portal from St. Johns. Gregg Williams. Curious if he ranks top 50 in that article. I haven't kept up TBH.

ETA: Just entered in the last day or so I think, so he may not be in that article even if he is considered a high prospect.

ETA again : Not listed in the portal yet on 24/7

I wonder how much LSU can "load up" from the portal? If we assume the "big 4" are all gone, that still only leaves LSU with one open scholarship based on my count. That is unless LSU has (a) unexpected attrition from the current roster and/or (b) the covid rules allow teams to exceed the 13 player limit with NEW players (as opposed to keeping seniors for another year)

247 and Verbal commits have trackers, the problem is that its hard to kind of see who all we are actively recruiting in it.

It looks like he's believed to be going to Mississippi St.

What is the window of opportunity to land one or two of these kids in the transfer portal? Is there a deadline date?

With Chris Beard going to Texas you have to wonder if that has any ripple effect on the Texas Tech roster. LSU recruited Micah Peavy hard. Though I don't know if a 6'7" SF with virtually no outside shot is what next year's LSU team desperately needs.

Tyreek Smith is a Baton Rouge native. He is a physical rebounder and shot blocker (though doesn't give you much offensively)

Dick Vitale is anxiously waiting to tweet out that "per his sources a lifetime ban of Wade and the LSU basketball program is coming within the next week."

Wish Quinones had come here. He had 16 rebonds vs Mis State in the semifinals and 18 pts in the finals of the NIT.

Not sure if he will enter portal, but LJ Cryer is barely playing for Baylor. Ties to Louisiana, officially visited LSU last year, one of top scorers in the history of high school basketball in Texas. 6’1” 180 guard.

I imagine Cryer will stay put. Everything opens up for him with Butler, Mitchell, and Teague moving on after this season. That's a lot of guard minutes.

Yeah, I figure he will, but I know we recruited him hard and we have guard minutes opening up and he will run well in our offense.
