Technically, the transfer portal isn’t even open yet (opens 3/24) but there’s already a major WCC name to be going in: Pepperdine’s Moe Odum.

We can discuss transfer portal news here. For a reminder on last year’s portal madness, here’s the link to the 2024 Transfer Portal thread.
I was pretty certain that was coming… nobody wants to stay at Pepp
I suspect its less about not wanting to stay at Pepp and more about having significant suitors for his services after his outstanding WCC tourney. $$$ coming his way.
Definately that is part of the equation.
All year he was kind of a pill on the court… then he started playing rather well in the tourney and acting like less of an ass to his teammates and being more of a rah rah guy. I figured it was a little bit of over-acting hoping for some NIL dinero.
Honestly, he kind of seems like adding a cancer to wherehever he lands from my perspective.
Yeah, I would not be in favor of adding Odum–not that I think he’s looking for his third WCC school anyways.
But Alvaro Cardenas, formerly of SJSU, was identified last year as a good option for SCU. He had a good year at Boise State. Boise probably cut him a slightly better deal than SCU could have, if he was ever even a target. But a guy like Cardenas would have been a huge asset this year and would be yet again next season.
He will transfer and disappear. His attitude won’t be tolerated.
100% agree with this.
Cardenas would have been an excellent fit at SCU, filling an important need.
