OT: Non-UConn transfer news

[gioff2323]

Marshall brought in multiple portal qb's so he has some fighting to do.

Marshall needs portal more than any other program this year.

Honestly…I didn’t see a lot of QB skills out of Turner. He did a good job of playing within himself...but that’s about it. I thought Roberson showed much more potential.

I agree. Turner showed some leadership and moxy. But QB skills, not so much. Wish nothing but good things for the young man, but we’ll see.

We can agree to disagree. I probably should have qualified my statement by saying as a True Freshman he showed some pretty good skills. He had a decent arm and I thought pretty accurate. He also was fast when he ran although not as elusive as we would have liked. As you may remembered our receiver group was hit hard by injuries that year. One of the starters for most of the year was a walk on. I didn’t think he should replace Roberson after Roberson slow start on 2023 but many here did. Going through his reads in real time was definitely holding him back. Maybe, Zion will not do any better at Marshall but some players do develop after their freshman year. We shall see.

Here is a new twist on all this. Let's see if this becomes a thing.

Kid signed a revenue sharing agreement with Wisconsin, asked to transfer because of a family illness, Wisconsin refused to allow him into the portal because of the revenue sharing agreement, so the kid dropped out and enrolled at Miami.

The real key here is at that the NCAA said "“NCAA rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately."

So -- why exactly do we have a transfer portal? And why exactly do we have an NCAA?

Meanwhile Wisconsin has the NIL rights to the kid who is going to get paid to play in Miami.

Fast is not a word I would use to describe Zion.

It's not clear they own his rights. The House settlement hasn't been approved yet. And besides, what's to stop Miami from paying him out of revenue share anyway? The NCAA just told both schools that it has no control over the situation and will consider him eligible to compete for the 'Canes.

Essentially what happened here was Wisconsin threw down a pair of aces and Miami countered with a Royal Flush.

Also nothing prevents him being paid via deals set up by the Hurricane collective.

Miami just exposed and simultaneously eviscerated the myth of the transfer portal. Basically they proved that it does not exist.

And this is great for UM. The return of the evil renegade empire is WELL overdue.

Meanwhile, at Wisconsin's recruiting office....

I said it in a thread somewhere but the NCAA is toothless.

We all knew the genie was out of the bottle, and it wasn’t going back. I don’t know if anybody knew how powerful and destructive the genie would be. This mess is just heating up! Stay tuned. Wow.

Tampering and tortious interference inbound!

Interesting. So for 20 years, we’ve heard that the reason UConn isn’t in the ACC is because of hard feelings from litigation. So is Miami killing their chances to ever get out of the ACC, because their only entry to a Big 2 is through the Big Ten, not the SEC.
