| 4/24/26 |  The Best Transfer Portal Additions This Offseason | In this episode, Evan Miyakawa breaks down some of his favorite transfer portal additions of the offseason using his proprietary player evaluation model at EvanMiya.com. He walks through how his projections are built—combining box score production, on-court impact, and historical data—and explains why defensive value and overall impact often lead to different conclusions than consensus rankings. Evan highlights a range of notable transfers, including Flory Bidunga to Louisville, Acaden Lewis to Miami, Sananda Fru to Marquette, Isaiah Johnson to Texas, Leroy Blyden Jr. to Kansas, Najai Hines to UConn, Miles Byrd to Providence, and Zoom Diallo to Kentucky, while also discussing broader themes like freshman-to-sophomore leaps, the importance of multi-skill versatility, and how certain player archetypes tend to translate better when moving up levels.Chapters(00:00) Key metrics for evaluating players(05:05) Flory Bidunga to Louisville(08:26) Acaden Lewis to Miami(11:01) Sananda Fru to Marquette(15:22) Isaiah Johnson to Texas(17:08) Leroy Blyden to Kansas(19:23) Najai Hines to UConn(21:15) Miles Byrd to Providence(24:25) Zoom Diallo to Kentucky (28:13) Comparison to Alex WilkinsConnect with the show:Visit EvanMiya.comFollow on Twitter/XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow on InstagramFull Show ArchivesMerch | 32m 01s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 |  Transfer Portal 101: NIL Market Trends + Roster Strategies | The transfer portal is exploding—and so are NIL prices. In this episode, Evan Miyakawa breaks down a “Transfer Portal 101” guide to how teams are navigating the modern roster-building landscape, including why the NIL market is up 65% year-over-year and how that’s impacting decisions across college basketball. He dives into the economics of the portal, explaining why centers are being overpaid, why point guards may actually be the best value right now, and how supply and demand is reshaping roster construction. Evan also highlights key player archetypes to target (like sophomore breakout candidates) and ones to be cautious of (like high-volume scorers without well-rounded skill sets). If you want a clear, data-driven understanding of how teams are spending millions to build rosters in today’s game, this episode is for you.Chapters(00:00) Transfer Portal 101(01:56) NIL Market is up 65%(05:25) Front Office Suite tool for teams(11:26) Is the market sustainable?(14:09) Bigs are being overpaid(17:47) Where teams can find value in the portal(21:08) The Vandy and Nebraska model(22:32) Freshman to Sophomore leap(25:25) Teams are overvaluing volume scorersConnect with the show:Visit EvanMiya.comFollow on Twitter/XSubscribe on YouTubeFollow on InstagramFull Show ArchivesMerch | 30m 49s | ||||||
