SJU with a huge pickup in 23 year old PG Quinn Ellis from Olimpia Milano (Euroleague)

Technically an incoming freshman? Not sure what his status is, but definitely a "portal" get from what I've read... lol

Yeah... I have absolutely no idea lol. Apparently he's being "loaned" to SJU the way European soccer clubs loan players between league. What is this sport coming to?

In other news UConn locked up Najai Hines and is rumored to be the favorites for both Nik Khamenia and Donnie Freeman. No idea how we get both and keep Mullins + Ball but if we do this team is absolutely stacked

Thanks, I hadn't seen 2/3 of these

Don't think Dioubate to St. John's is official yet. He's visiting Monday, and supposedly they're in good shape with him. But in this new NIL environment, it's never over till it's over.

Appreciate that, I had seen reports saying it was. I will delete it

Marquette expected to sign St. Thomas' G Nolan Minessale. Averaged 19 points last season.

Will be a great pickup. May be a little premature but I'll add him to the list

Throw in Perkins with the 4 guys listed here and I think Nova has their starting 5. Solid lineup

My bad, thought I had already thrown Khamenia up in here. Has now been updated.

Seton Hall nabbing Roddie Anderson seems like a good fit, scrappy defender

He is. I wish that he had stayed at X. But the Musketeers have loaded up for next season, and should be competitive within the top 4 teams in the Big East.

Khamenia is official. A huge get. He was ranked #15 in the country by 247, coming out of high school. Very versatile.

I guess that he used his year at Duke to move up to a more highly ranked program.

Darryl Simmons II to Nova, their 2nd PG in two days.

Not portal pick ups, but certainly interesting is Butler picking up 2 European pro league players, Asim Djulovuc (6-9) from Serbia and Samu Adler (6-6) from Finland. With Providence also signing Dink Pate (6-8) from the G league, this could be the start of a trend.

Thanks for sharing. I've added both

I wonder how much each is expected to play. Are they practice bodies like Elezaj and Paunovic were for UConn this past season? I know nothing about either

Syracuse's Donnie Freeman to St. John's.

Looking around, it appears St. John's is still in the mix for Massamba Diop and Moustapha Thiam (both top-15 transfers on the market), but competition for both is competitive.

Big East added a lot of talent through the portal this offseason. Nice to see.

Malik Mack to Providence. Wow.

I think St. john's is considered the favorite for Diop right now, he's visiting this weekend. I've never seen Quinn Ellis play, but read somewhere that had he played college ball last season, instead of in Europe, he'd likely have been the No.1 ranked point guard in the portal this year. With Freeman on board now, and the other Euro guys, St John's has a chance to be really good and give UConn some competition at the top of the league. With Nova, Providence and Xavier making some good moves, league should be substantially better next season.

Freeman to SJU, Malik Mack to Providence.

Providence is just stacking guards

Host of Locked on UConn saying we are in the mix for both as well. Has said our 2nd big will be one of those 2 or Kepnang. Big claim, we shall see.

Also agree with your below post about Mack. Kind of surprised he went to a team that is seemingly log jammed at guard
