Grizzlies Sign Cam Spencer To A Guaranteed Contract

[HooperScooper]

Cam didn't enter his name in the transfer portal until we lured him into it late with $$.

I agree with @Chuck. Where are you getting this conspiracy theory?

First off Cam did enter the portal late because there was no deadline for transfers who graduated.

If UConn was the one who tampered and got him to enter the portal then why did he visit Miami before visiting UConn? That would be strange.

Rutgers transfer guard Cam Spencer, one of the premier shooters in college basketball, committed to UConn on Tuesday night, sources told ESPN.

On top of that Hurley has been very vocal about not liking other programs tampering and said UConn doesn't do that. It would be a really bad look for him if what you said was revealed some how after what he's said.

No surprise on the updated contract. All he needed was some PT to show his value. Will continue to evolve and adjust to the NBA game. Heart of a Lion.

You guys are a bit naive IMO. "Tampering" has an obvious bad connotation but there's levels to this. You don't think it was weird that Cam waited until late May to enter the portal? He got a sense of his market value and opted in. I'm sure it wasn't an explicit "hey we've got $500k and a Hellcat for you" like Kansas' approach, but he wasn't performing charity either.

And I'm not disputing his quote at Big East Media Day:

For me, I wanted to play at the highest level that I can professionally and I thought UConn brought the best opportunity. The Big East provides a lot in terms of me raising my level from a guard standpoint. Along with that, the defensive end is somewhere I want to get better at and playing against great guards is something that will help me get to the next level and be successful.

Could be. I don’t dispute there is lots of tampering with transfers. But you have no evidence to back up your assertion. I prefer not to point fingers at our own staff without some facts.
