Transfer Portal 2025

i have good memory lol there are 2 sides to the coin… you were also the biggest galen robinson hater …didnt think corey davis would be a star preseason his senior year (but were high on armoni randomly)… and this very offseason had jizzzle as far superior to uzan… and have called us falling off a few times a few years ago (in the context of maybe falling to 3 or 4 in the aac… not fully falling off)…

i will say this about you… i dont agree with the logic you use often… but i truly believe lean on your logic outside of Cincy… there is bias when you evaluate UC, but thats fine… outside of UC you make takes based on your logic and your reason, based on stat you think are important… like when you were big on PER or whatever (even tho i disagree)… its not like blind bad takes

side note: ride with your takes. even if its wrong, just come back and post, will make jokes for like a day, and then we’ll move on… no need to disappear

I think most NIL agreements contain a provision that if the player enters the Transfer Portal (TP) again, the current NIL agreement is terminated. With as many athletes as there are entering the TP and still available, I wonder if some have second thoughts about entering the TP? Not getting any other NIL offers when your in the TP lowers your marketability for your current team. I think some players stand to lose money with NIL.

Some players may not recognize when they have a good thing going.

We can just laugh at them anyway

Having guys that foul usually means plays inside or takes the ball inside. That in turn usually means more turnovers. Also means clearing out the middle and less O rebounds.

Our pace did not determine how well we did when we didnt ahoot well. What did make a difference is getting more shots (winning turnover and rebound differential).

Not a fan of constant driving as a main strategy.

Not sure what this response was in reference to or why it came to me?
But ok.

It looks like I was responding to you but I wasn’t. It was where my message fell in the queue.

No problem.

Ok that makes sense.

BTW - nice name👍🏾

This transfer portal stuff is crazy. It’s ruined the college game.

The teams that lose their entire rosters to the portal, i feel for them.

But if Mid Majors, make a great hire like Quanas White to Louisiana. You can bring in alot of good talent immediately & be relevant

Would i prefer a 1-time transfer rule, yes.

Would i prefer player contracts & buyouts for leaving a program, yes.

I think transfer portal, has brought like a free agency vibe to college basketball. Which can be good & bad.

The scary thing is even schools like Arkansas, Kansas and Baylor are completely overhauling rosters.

Not sure about Arkansas but from what I heard, Baylor and Kansas roster overhaul is intentional.

Transfer portal & NIL, is great for financial opportunities for players. Life changing money.

But, i can see the downside for coaching. Where you wanna build that relationship, that team culture & guys are just leaving for a bigger check

Coaches that got into the profession for the right reasons, to help mentor kids, im sure some hate this era.

Again if we Houston, were losing 5+ players to the portal every yr, i probably would have a different view on the portal
