Reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year Norchad Omier commits to Miami

The reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year entered the transfer portal on March 30th.

reigning sun belt player of the year avg 18 and 12

I've seen Omier play a bunch of times. Mid-major competition, but he was a man among boys. Foul trouble is the only thing that can stop him. And supposedly has only been playing basketball for 3 or 4 years. An interesting wrinkle is that, as a foreign player, he apparently isn't allowed to have an NIL deal.

am guessing everyone is going to be after Omier - but yeah, that's the type of legit scoring/rebounding PF we need to play both the 4 and 5 for us

 

[pearl31]

as "meh" as he may seem, Bryce Golden might be the play if indeed the staff wants a bigger body who could slide into the 5 for some minutes and hit the 3 if left open

This site might already have been linked. If so I apologize. If you click on the basketball, and then transfer portal, you can get a list of all the players in the transfer portal sorted by player ranking.

Frank is rated 109. Quincy is rated 262.

Top 20 only thus class can still top UCLA and get into top 4

 

[AngryOtto]

Coaches don't respect their commitments, why should kids. BTW, unless it's a full 4 year scholarship, it's a year to year commitment.

It is a full four year scholarship.

With no knowledge, I’d guess Camden would be at the absolute top of the list. Extremely similar to Cole and also hustles his ass off. Watched Memphis’ first scrimmage before he got hurt. He was lethal from 3.

dasher do you think we try to bring in a backup center and a starting sf? Or just one or the other?

I hope both. I still think we will see another portal or two. A 5 for sure.

Very blah because of his defense. Don’t understand why we would want him anymore. I know we recruited him late out of hs, but would really hurt us at the 4 or 5 on defense. I mean really hurt us.

Do you think they could pursue a stretch-4 type PF who could also serve as backup C?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I”ll repeat this…

Is this kid that much better than Bunch or Taylor?

If the answer is no, not really(and I think it is) it makes no sense to bring someone in just a year ahead of our freshmen.

We would need to sign someone who would be here just for one year and is a proven scorer.

This kid doesn’t seem to be it.

Counterpoint - our recent roster management doesn't make sense anyway.

I will know more later in the week. That would make sense.

It is a full four year scholarship.

No, it's not. Few schools make that commitment, as it is optional.

 

[AZOrange]

Yep.

LSU who also had their whole team transfer. Reason no 402 why I think we have an internal household name with an orderly transition

 

[jordville]

I would love this one, but we have no previous relationship here (outside of Benny's family). Efton was tight with Woody, so this one likely will never happen. Too bad. His mother was always fun to chat with during the EYBL when I watched Team Takeover. She is the one that told me Woody and family really wanted Syracuse before his commitment. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Virginia.

 

[jordville]

Already transfered from G-town. He would have to sit unless granted a waiver for a coaching change.. or is considered a grad student.

 

[Loki]

No, it's not. Few schools make that commitment, as it is optional.

At power 5 schools if on scholarship prior to enrollment it's a full 4 year scholarship.

 

[UpstateSM]

THIS is the dude we need

I would have to guess UK is all over him. It's their backyard plus they just had a ton of success with Tshiebwe. He will be highly coveted.

I am wondering with all the players in the portal last year, what happened to those who were left standing when the music stopped? Did they all go back to the schools they jumped into the portal from and those schools took them back? Or they ended up at a lower tier school or had to accept an even lesser role? Any player left without a scholarship because there is no more spot available? I haven't read any report where they discussed or interviewed some of those players who wished they didn't jump into the portal?

I imagine for a player it’s an embarrassing fact to publicize that no one wants you. I would imagine that each player still holds onto some hope of eventually finding a landing place whether a reasonable expectation or not.

The perils of the transfer portal: Purgatory is a very real thing

The days mostly looked the same for Jordan Anthony during the fall of 2020. He’d start around 6 a.m. at a Harris Teeter in Olney, Md., where he worked as a home shopper.

The humbling process of being stuck in transfer portal purgatory

The transfer portal can be an appealing second start for many FBS players, but fewer than half of them manage to stay on the FBS level after entering the portal.

I imagine that more very sad stories about the transfer portal will pop up in 5 to 10 years from now when a player looks back on opportunities lost from a different and sadly more permanent perspective.That is, if the media wants to expose it too.

Thanks for the link.

This stat:

"Of the 480 Power Five scholarship players 247Sports studied from the 2019-20 cycle, only 26.5% of them stayed as a scholarship player on a P-5 roster. Another 26.3% signed with a G-5 program. Overall, 47.2% of P-5 scholarship athletes went to the FCS, junior college ranks or did not find a landing spot. Among the 826 FBS scholarship players 247Sports examined, only 37.8% stayed on the FBS level."

so for football, 47.5% of P-5 players did not find a landing spot at another school. That's about half. Yet they kept entering the portal.

Our sweet prince has given up his Syracuse/DePaul beat and seems to have moved on to St John’s
