Keenan Henderson Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 In this topic we can keep an eye on transfers for ORU and other league teams. As Eaglefan 21 mentioned there has already been some transfers within the league. Bruns, who was the freshman of the year, left North Dakota. Denver just picked up a 6'7 guard from Little Rock, Mario Lukic, who averaged 11 points and 3 rebounds last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summit League podcast guys seem to think Bruns is headed for USD, which would be humiliating for UND. The commissioner's office should have a rule prohibiting transfering within the league; or at least a mandatory season of ineligibility if you do so. I can appreciate guys stepping out of conference to a bigger stage for more exposure, or to a smaller stage to earn more player time. But, I have no sympathy for budding stars who "team-jump" within the league just to chase a ring. It smacks of AAU shenanigans - or Kevin Durant. #cupcake 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the NCAA wants to limit the coaches along with players then that's fine, but don't just restrict the players and not the coaches! But if you can count an any organization to wait until something is a huge problem and then react-usually in a ridiculous way, if at all- it's the NCAA!! The "shenanigans" ship sailed long ago in college basketball lets not just penalize or limit only the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Bruns is from South Dakota, so it makes sense that he would transfer to USD. Western Illinois has already had two enter the portal. Would not be surprised if we see another 1500 transfers this year in college . Do transfers (non graduates) have to sit a season or are they eligible right away? Covid changed that rule last year but is that from now on.

I think they have had the freshman of the year two or 3 years in a row now and they immediately leave for less Ice-filled pastures. If Bruns chooes USD, they may be the team to beat next year regardless of what happens with SDSU, they will have AJ Plitzuweit coming back and I think most of the rest of their impact players are sophmore's or juniors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 St. Thomas loses one of its stars to the portal: Andres Nelson. Nelson averaged around 15 points and 3 assists per game. He was listed as a senior, so might be using extra Covid year to see if there are greener pastures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglefan 21 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 4 players have now entered the portal for North Dakota. I wonder if peer pressure starts to set in on some of these young guys as they watch their teammates move on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember last year, K.O. waited until the July 1st deadline to announce his transfer. So it is a long waiting game at this point.

ORUTerry Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Maleeck Harden-Hayes and Grayson Harmon from NDSU entered the transfer portal (3/14) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Add Jarius Cook, a starter, to NDSU's transfer list. They also lost Griesel and Rocky Krueser to graduation, so the Bison will have a lot of rebuilding to do next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is where Kansas St got their football coach so might as well go back and get their Basketball coach as well!:) Really wondering what Tulsa can pay for their basketball coach? Just not a great looking job with the conference they play in with no fan support and supposedly no $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind, the only player that can afford to wait it out and still land wherever he wants is Max. I'm sure we'll start seeing announcements in the next few days, just surprised we haven't seen any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
