Transfer Portal Starting to Load

[Leebo]

Indiana fans see a gif of Hurley celebrating and take it as a bad sign for Hurley?

Could be nothing but interesting:

Is this opinion or insider info?

Pick up a subscription to Storrs Central. Much more reliable than these dopey podcasters and random X accounts posting outrageous stuff looking for clicks.

Just your classic internet rando. People love a rando that can read tea leaves and guess with 60% accuracy.

He implies it's good news - he also said he thinks Hurley will get one of the top portal hauls as well, for whatever it's worth

Ok... I don't frequent the twitter-verse, so I have no idea who this person is and if there's any semblance of credibility.

 

[HuskyCLT]

I don't really see this as "news." It looks like it's just someone on X who's optimistic that if we were to have players leave that it wouldn't be a max exodus of players we desperately want to retain, but rather players who coach feels may not have a shot at have a shot at being really successful in our program. Makes sense, we can hope.

 

[DRBackup]

But we better get some competition since I didn’t even see flashes out of him where I thought “he’s going to be really good once he figures it out.”

To me, this is the key. He could very well come back and be excellent next year, but when he was in games this season, I never saw much to suggest he should have gotten more minutes. That's all

 

[DRBackup]

The reality is that any remotely high-profile player in the portal has been receiving overtures all season.

They really need to add a rule that any kind of tampering like that eliminates that team from being a transfer destination.

Kalkbrenner replacement

LOL, hardly

This is the second reference to this apparently 100% meaningless tweet. WT F ??

 

[superjohn]

Considering how early it is in the process, that tweet may have more to do with who is staying (instead of chasing NIL dollars) that who we are adding.

I'm pretty confident we will add a couple nice pieces as well.

I think the guys Hurley wants to stay are going to stay. This isn't based off that tweet.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

It's a disgusting environment but this is what people wanted.

You've made this point at least twice. Do you include yourself as among the "people" who wanted, or just a voice of authority telling us how it works?

 

[Deleted at users request]

Any coach who isn't talking to other players during the year isn't doing their job adequately in this environment.

People didn’t want this

Liam is gone. We went through the same process with DC last year. The plan has always been to be a one and done.

Clingan was a lottery pick, top 10. I don't know how accurate these mocks are, but if you're a top 10 guy, or if you're a lottery guy, you go. If you're end of the first round, you might want to stay. There's a huge difference between top 10 and end of 1st. In fact, I bet Donovan would've been taken end of 1st if he left after his freshman year.

And the scouting report attached to that #25 pick at the link is 100% accurate

You go anywhere with guaranteed money. C'mon now. The 30th pick is still getting 4.2 million guaranteed and the best training on the planet with 0 practice time restrictions.

Liam's a top 20 guy. He leaves and his absolute worst-case scenario is he makes 9m guaranteed across the next two years. Much more likely is he makes $23m (or so) across four years before signing his second contract.

There's no scenario in which it makes sense for him to return.

Aaah a post that actually based on factual info
Thank you!!!’

 

[JayPak]

He received an ‘unvitation’ from Mac.

I also think it’s more likely than not Dix shows, he’s from Council Bluffs and wants to play at or near home.

Jays got Freeman but not Dix.

Not sure if he'll just end up at another SEC school for more money but IMO it's still good to see a big bad SEC team losing a valuable player to the portal.

Georgia was more of a "mid bad" SEC team.

I hate tweets like this, cause even if we believe you, we don’t know what you’re talking about. So pointless.

And so it begins…

Yeah but they all think they’re big and bad…and they beat St. John’s
