Matt Garry in the Transfer Portal

[Hey Adrien!]

Would be awesome for him to land a D1 spot!

I held my tongue before, but this is the last straw. Fire Hurley

 

[rollskies]

Have to wonder if this is because Hurley lost the locker room

(in all seriousness I wish MG the best at his next spot & best of luck in the future. i’m gonna miss the we want Garry chants)

What you really have to wonder is whether if this is sarcasm or not.

There is barely any shot of knowing on this board lately (I do think this is).

 

[aburks41]

Wow. Didn't want to compete with Newton for playing time?? WEAK

Since the boneyard is in an extremely fragile place at the moment, I will specify that that was in fact sarcasm

 

[ClifSpliffy]

well, that makes eleven.
gross.

You can't build culture without Matt Garry.

 

[Get a Job]

I am confused. What does it mean for a non-scholarship player to enter the portal? Does he just have his one extra covid year for eligibility, or does he have four years since he never had a scholarship? Or is this just a joke that I didn't get?

 

[Scoe]

Ok now I’m sad.

 

[8893]

You had to see this coming when Hurley never played him on Senior Night.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Maybe he has a chance to get a scholarship and play even if I s D2.

I don't think he needs a COVID year since he's only logged game time in two season. It's just procedural if he wants to transfer and play somewhere else. Would be pretty cool to see him drop down a couple levels and get a chance to get some real PT.

I smell tampering

The women's team walk on entered the portal last year, I think it's mandatory. And ended up at a junior college.

Who do you think? Yale? Sacred Heart? Rutgers?

He has two first names and no last name. I was always suspicious of him.

Mandatory.

A bunch of the players in the portals are walk-ons or walk-on grad transfers.

Sometimes your enemies are even closer. I'm thinking ECSU down the road in the Little East Conference

Now if Andrew Hurley leaves then I will be really concerned about culture .

 

[bendm]

Huge sigh of relief assuming this was the last of the speculated transfers

 

[NowInStorrs]

Well now that you've said that... doomed

 

[RJScootin]

This one has hit me hardest. From being there to see him miss 4 free throws to my son being mad I brought that up when we met at Atlantis. Go get some playing time my man!

 

[NH Husky]

Come on. April Fools was 2 weeks ago.

This might be a dumb question, but if you enter the transfer portal does that immediately sever your ties with your current program? Like, entering the portal is essentially the same as a high school player reopening his recruitment after decommitting, correct?

Anyone have stats on percentage of portal players who end up staying with their original school? Does that happen? @auror @UConnStats I feel like you guys would be the experts here, any insight?

No stats, but just from experience seems to be very low except with a new coach who recruits the guy back.

 

[Shamon30]

I just assumed he'd be gone anyway as he was a non-scholarship senior.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Why is the portal not public? These are adults.

 

[McLovin]

As long as we still got Richie Springs, we gonna be alright!
