Malachi Palmer didn’t exactly rush to throw his name into the transfer portal.

Kennadi Williams, pinch runner extraordinaire and daughter of Husker basketball coach Amy Williams, came roaring around 3rd base as the 10th run and an 8-run lead for the Huskers which would potentially end the game if Jordy Frahm could shut things down in the bottom of the 6th.

I’m not sure if it’s cause and effect or simple correlation, but it can’t be denied that Wisconsin Badgers head coach Greg Gard has been absolutely dealing in the transfer portal since former Athletic Director Chris McIntosh shockingly announced his resignation last week. Since then, Wisconsin has landed three new players in quick succession: guard Trey Autry, center […]

Despite his smaller stature, he’s an absolute machine on the boards that racked up 4.3 […]

His impact […]
Penn State basketball added another transfer to its newly-made roster, landing former Buffalo big man Tim Oboh. Oboh is a 6-foot-11, 230-pound center who was a sophomore last season, meaning he should have two years left of eligibility. I say “should” because of the ever-changing eligibility rules in the NCAA, and the fact that Oboh […]
Washington added one of the elite players in the transfer portal yesterday with the addition of NC State transfer Tilda Trygger. The 6’6 forward from Sweden averaged 10.6 points and 7.0 rebounds last season as a true sophomore. Trygger was one of the most highly sought after players in the transfer portal. She was rated […]

The transfer portal window is incredibly unforgiving. When it became clear that top-tier target Paulius Murauskas was likely heading to Arizona State, Mark Pope quickly pivoted, bringing Colorado transfer Sebastian Rancik to Lexington for an under-the-radar visit. Unfortunately for the coaching staff, that stealth mission did not result in a signature. Rancik has officially committed […]

He gutted everyone: UNC, Connecticut, Kentucky. They all […]
