NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing transfer Landers Nolley 11 finalists

Seton Hall Pirates

Thanks to the massive success of Myles Powell, scoring guard transfers all over the country are interested in playing for the Pirates. You’re seeing that already, with a ton of grad transfers having this team among their list of finalists, so expect them to add at least one.

That won’t affect Nolley, who’ll have to sit out next season. By then, most of the current perimeter players for Seton Hall would have graduated, except for 6’5 sit-out transfer Takal Molson. He averaged 16.9 ppg in his last season at Canisius and will have an impact on next year’s team. If the desire to have big role on a winning program is the biggest factor, look for Seton Hall to have a real good shot at landing Nolley.

TCU Horned Frogs

The massive set of departures from the previous offseason affected this past season for TCU, finishing at just 16-16 overall. And with leading scorer Desmond Bane and other key seniors gone, it’s hard to envision this team being much better in the next season. They’re trying to add more immediate talent, including USC transfer Charles O’Bannon Jr. and Chattanooga transfer Kevin Easley.

With a whole new batch of players for Jamie Dixon, the concerns about “culture issues” should go away for now. However, is the Horned Frogs a situation that he’d want to risk everything for? There are other players who can offer as much playing time and is more likely to win in 2022, without fears of a exodus of players. Unless there’s a burning desire to play for a program with a tournament appearance in nearly 30 years, I doubt this one makes another cut.
