2023 Transfer Portal
- Thread starter Buffsbball
- Start date
ESPN's got him at 45.7% FG this past season, so maybe got the numbers conflated?Where did Rothstein pull that number from? Kid shot 37% this year
He is a career 40.3 3pt% and 84.6 FT%, so the dude can definitely shoot.

Big dude, give us some size inside. Haven't seen him play enough, role guy more or less?
He will be the starting center for us. He is good
Nice

Tad better hit a damn home run on this last spot with Knecht.

I love the Lampkin pickup. He was a stud at TCU despite his so-so stats. I think if we can land Knecht or another big scorer our team next year will be solid!

His career defensive rating is sub 100, so that's extremely encouraging. Slightly better than LL's.
His O rating is almost 20 points better than LL's. I didn't think an O rating of 88 was possible, but LL managed it. Nique was at 85!
Getting Lampkin means everyone on our roster that played last year has positive ratings on D and O, aside from Hammond who is basically a 100-100 guy.
The NIL price likely blew right by what we could afford.

Would hate to be burdened with the problem of having too many good players. Never works out for the blue-bloods.
That's a narrow definition of "good player" if you only want scorers

I know where you are coming from, but I am very excited about the potential of Lampkin. At a minimum, he will bring some badly needed size and strength to next year‘s team.
He is a very high risk transfer, but has serious talent when motivated and not overweight. He quit on TCU, but something seemed amiss. On the other hand, I watched as he murdered Arizona in the 2022 Tourney, 20 pt and 14 rebounds, his fifth double double of that year. The reason his statistics were so mediocre in 2022-2023 is he only played 22 min a game because he was out of shape last year.
The thing I love the most is he has the potential the re-energize a program to fans which badly needs strong personalities after Battey left. I will bet money he will be a huge crowd favorite, but he has to be disciplined and committed to getting in shape and practicing hard.

As my Hoosier father always says - you need that wildcard (Rodman Bulls perfect example). Watch Lampkins tape, dudes a menace that is a ball of emotion.
Glad we scored him. I think we all wanted Ike, but 99% of things happen without this forum knowing. Maybe he already told Tad no, I’m heading elsewhere.
I would suggest looking at the rosters of the Final 4 teams. Lampkin would have been top 6 or 7 in scoring and one of the better rebounders on all 4 teams. Assuming TDS and Simpson return, and with the addition of Williams and another transfer (PLEASE be Knecht), the scoring is there. Lampkin is absolutely good enough to be in the top 5 of a Final 4 team.

Yup...Ike is chasing the bag.
That highlight tape - 3/4 of those step back 3s would get fouls called by pac-12 refs for interference on the landing. Dude could be a 4 pt machine
Significant? No
Yeah, he'll add a lot of size, physicality, rebounding and energy. He should serve as an anchor/glue guy for that starting unit.
LL probably has more upside, but they need Lampkins fire. That alone is a huge upgrade.

Lampkin has got the physicality and experience that LL was missing. Digging deeper (and hindsight being 20/20) I'm not sure LL has the most important quality that Lampkin will provide, grit. It feels to me, and this is all conjecture, that LL was disenchanted as the season waned. Replacing LL with a bigger bodied emotional leader is a huge positive!
