It's three weeks actually and that time might help them think through exactly why they want to leave and what they're seeking, and even see a team which might be the perfect match.
From a cost standpoint I completely agree. I personally wouldn’t trade some of the experiences and relationships I had from being a part of the dorm life community in school those first two years for anything!
According to this article, he played 2 years at Harvard then was hurt the next 2 years and graduated. Then played for a year at OSU before being hurt again the next year and graduated again.
I heard on the game broadcast he has one more year of eligibility, technically his 9th year in college. Frank The Tank approves!
Isn’t there some Boneyard Law forbidding speculating about our kids transferring? If so, please apply it to this thread. Bad Karma all around. Doomed?
People here are kinda delusional on Johnson. He’s had his moments for us, but he's not a projectable high level center with how he handles physicality. I hope instead he comes back with a Diarra level improvement and contributes even better off our bench.
Can’t imagine SJ would feel good about finishing his career coming off the bench after coming in with Wall aspirations.
Absolutely, would take the public side of the equation out, and at least “encourage” restraint. Doubt Slick Rick or any of his ilk ever have or ever will. At least the headline in the Post wouldn’t be Johnny enters portal before his teams second round game.

YES
Nobody ever said the truth was always easy.
Agree that that’s what probably should happen. And I’ll stop there before I break any board rules. Haha
Think the main thing closing the portal until the tournament is finished is to keep kids from officially signing with a school.
I do prefer the elite big(s) uconn teams (2004,these past two years), but like you said we've won with a cadre of average to slightly above average bigs who the coach can cycle through. Maybe we dont need an All Conference/American level guy but I really think having at least 3 good sized bigs would be critical. It'll be cool to see how Hurley navigates this when the time comes
Hurley will figure out what he can do and do it. No need to trash a kid that's giving us a pretty good year for what we think he won't do next year.
Comparing getting first dibs at the transfer portal to a bad team having the first picks of the draft is gold. Lmao
Maybe this is one guy who won't be swayed by big time NIL money given that his dad made almost $100M in his NBA career.Andrej Stojakovic transferring: 5 possible landing spots
Stanford freshman and former five-star recruit Andrej Stojakovic has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Which school will land the son of a former NBA All-Star?

I guess some of you know I do not like SJ as a player. BUT, I suppose you cannot count him out considering that he far exceeded expectations this year. Should he to make a similar jump next year, he can be a very strong presence for us. But for the love of God, stop fouling 24 feet from the basket!!!
I wonder how the evaluation process works with UConn coaching staff. Hurley can't look at tapes of all these guys- someone must weed out the players in the portal to know who to go after.
I’m not sure if it’s the same for cbb, but CFB has support staffs that go through recruiting tape for HS and portal players then sort and filter for coaches.
