Hoops Southbound David Harris

The Alabama Crimson Tide locked down Clifford Omoruyi. Arkansas picked up Jonas Aidoo and Johnell Davis. Mark Pope is bringing his offense to life with Koby Brea, Kerr Kriisa, Brandon Garrison, and Andrew Carr.

We’re recapping the portal after closing and more today on the Hoops Southbound Show!

Alijah Martin, Amari Williams, Sean Pedulla, Felix Okpara, and other were all commits out the top 150 players in the transfer portal heading now to an SEC team next season. We’ve three days left until the transfer portal closes. We’re breaking down the players coming in, looking at who is still out there in the portal, and looking at the work still left to do. Plus Arkansas and Alabama had a big week on the recruiting trail picking up freshmen in the top 35 in the country. We’re talking about it all today on the Hoops Southbound Show.

Excuse our silliness but today we are talking the transfer portal. We’re also going to give some smaller updates on the Freshmen Decommits that have taken place and a quick SEC look at the NBA Playoffs.



We recorded this episode this morning. Here are some updates that have occurred since this morning:

- Amari Williams did go Kentucky
- Jeremy Roach went to Baylor
- Alijah Martin did go to the Gators

Thank you guys for understanding this is a very fluid thing we're keeping track of. Everything else should be up to date. But please understand I can't go back and make sudden updates to recorded video.

The offseason is here in the SEC. College basketball's transfer portal is going crazy. Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Kentucky make changes at head coach. Players like Rob Dillingham are declaring for NBA Draft. So let's get caught up on everything that's gone down since March Madness.

UConn wins back-to-back national championships! Dan Hurley has solidified himself as one of the best coaches in the sport. But will he stay at UConn? Arkansas created tidal waves, hiring John Calipari as its new head basketball coach. Now one of the biggest jobs in the country, Kentucky, is searching for its new coach. The Wildcats fanbase is hungry to win. Who will they go after?

The Alabama Crimson Tide are headed to their first ever Final Four! Nate Oats and company got revenge on a tough Clemson Tiger team. No matter what anyone says, Alabama is heading to Phoenix. We look at the upcoming game against the UConn Huskies as well.

Meanwhile, Tennessee loses a somewhat controversial game against Purdue. Zach Edey shoots more free throws than the entire Volunteers team. While Purdue may still be a great team, there's a foul taste in Rocky Top fans's mouths.

Also, Tennessee transfer DJ Burns and North Carolina State defeat Duke. NC State is back in the Final Four for the first time since the 1980's!
