2024 Transfer Portal - Potential Incoming and General Discussion

Hes gone - but yeah it has been quiet on the "Teams who have reached out to Baraka Okojie" front.

if so, he won't be the first player to overestimate his market value

Just because he hasn’t publicized his list doesn’t mean he isn’t getting what he thinks he’s worth or good offers. I’m guessing he has plenty of suitors.

I think he ends up at Howard to play with his brother.

I wish Skinn, offered his brother to come to Mason though…

If Baraka isn’t at a Power 5 next year, he did something wrong.

Kid is super talented and well beyond a MEAC program IMO.

0.0% chance he ends up at Howard. He’s gonna get a bag, that’s the whole reason he’s leaving.

How funny would it be if BO is the one to end up at Michigan St, USC, or Arkansas..

That wouldn't be funny at all.

To each’s own

I only hope he announces a top 4 where all 4 schools are actually interested.

I do know he’s special, but Howard has deep pockets, and I can imagine him wanting to play with his brother.

I imagine he chose Mason in part to be relatively close to his brother at Howard. In an interview with Bill Roland, he mentioned that despite being so close, the demands of the basketball season kept him away from his brother.

Curious where you saw Howard has deep pockets?

If they do, that’s great and I didn’t expect that. MEAC programs usually have to take a ton of buy games to keep lights on.

Well idk about it terms of operating budgets. But huge endowment and lots of notable alumni. Although I doubt PDiddy will be donating anytime soon.

Not sure about athletics but Howard University’s endowment is $875 million.

For comparison, Mason’s is about $189 million.

Holy shit. Thank you for sharing.

there is no substantial NIL money at Howard
as a result, they have lost multiple players to the transfer portal over the last 3 years
but because of the name and their unique situation they are still able to attract some transfer and high school talent

And $0 from either of those is going to NIL.

I feel like Howard can make a couple quick calls and get some substantial investments in NIL.

If they want the basketball team to succeed, it will.
