CUTTING DOWN THE NETS

Rick Barnes has had some success in the portal - Dalton Knecht - Jordan Gainey - Chaz Lanier - Ja’Kobi Gillespie

The Vols transfer portal predictions: Tier 1 - Brett Decker Jr (Lib), Derek Dixon (UNC), Somto Cytrel (UGA) Tier 2 - Juke Harris (WF) - Samet Yigitoglu (SMU), Malik Mack (Gtown) Tier 3 - Pop Isaac’s (A&M), Donnie Freeman (Cuse) #NCAABHOOP #CDTN

Forgot to add Acaden Lewis, the Villanova transfer to that tier 1 group

Miami Hurricanes Transfer Targets in my opinion: Tier 1 - Naithan George (Cuse), Matt Able (NC State), David Punch (TCU), Somto Cyril (UGA) Tier 2 - Khani Rooths (Ville), One of the Kentucky transfers, Brandon Garrison or Mouhamed Dioubate, Pop Isaacs (A&M) #NCAABHOOP #CDTN

Denzel Aberdeen is headed back to the Gators! Absolutely love this for both Aberdeen and the Gators. Aberdeen will have more of a role with Florida this time around than he did when they won it all back in 2025. Huge get-back for Florida and Todd Golden. #NCAABHOOP #CDTN

@JonRothstein Arizona could be a school to watch out for too
