Basketball Transfer Portal

[ytownchief22]

Several, and I mean several basketball players entering the transfer portal on both the men's and women's side.

DQ
Hamperian
Ganley


Mary Dunn
McKenah Peters
Taylor Petit


Very strange to see so many players leaving.....

Chief,

Do you know how many of them entered the transfer portal because they were not being offered scholarships by YSU?

Trying to put some perspective on this and not thinking it's only a YSU issue I looked at the other teams in the Horizon league on verbalcommits and found the following as of 3/13/2021.

Green Bay 3 transferring
Milwaukee 2
NKU 1
Oakland 1
Ft. Wayne 3
Robert Morris 2
UIC 3

Not sure how many are walkons vs scholarship players.

This is the nature of college sports in 2021 and probably more for a player who wants playing time now than possibly waiting for their chance with work and patience.

I would assume that is the case for Hamperian and Ganley. They weren't gonna see much playing time with the new kids coming in.

Owen Long has committed to YSU from the portal.

He never missed a shot in the video.  Actually he shot 47% from the field and 42% from 3.  Likes to lean back on his shot.

Was wondering what made coach go after him.   Third year in a row YSU got a D2 transfer.  Last year was Greyson Kelly and the year before we got a guy who was from an Northeastern school.  Never actually came here.

There is something wrong with this picture. Our D-1 guys are transferring out and D-2 guys are transferring in.why can’t we get some D-1 transfers?

I am not sure if I have heard of D2 guys transferring up.  It probably has happened but never heard much about it

I thought Owen Long (as reported by Chief) who transferred in was from a D-2 program. I actually Googled the school.

Well we had 1 last year and got another this year so it's happening.

Looking at the roster as listed on the website, we have 12 players (5 seniors and 7 Freshmen).
What happened to all the sophomores and Juniors?

That was part of the problem this past year.  Had all of the seniors plus DQ when he was healthy, but really no experience off the bench other than Hamperian.  We had all those freshman and losing so many practices and non-conference games really hurt.  Now with juniors DQ and Hamperian gone, they were the only 2 non-seniors or freshman.

Hope you guys know what you’re talking about    I watched all the YouTube videos on the recruits that were mentioned and I have to say rather underwhelming
