ACC Transfer Portal Winners
After a chaotic three weeks of widespread transfer portal movement, we are starting to have a clearer picture of what ACC basketball will look like in the fall. Some teams, like UVA and Duke, have leaned into roster retention, while others like Louisville are prioritizing acquiring big name assets from other teams. In this episode, we analyze the ACC's most interesting teams in the early roster-building period. We also discuss the conference's lackluster performance during the NFL Draft. Topics for discussion include: The ACC's (and Virginia's) poor showing at the NFL Draft (0:00-12:33) Mel Kiper's strange eating habits (12:33-15:40) UVA basketball retaining all its scholarship athletes (15:40-24:03) Other ACC winners of the transfer portal season (24:03-42:13) You can always email the show at preferredwalkons@yahoo.com.
