Transfer Portal Starting to Load

Pop Isaacs in the portal again, damn that was fast. considering his surgery I'm surprised a team is willing to commit a higher number than Creighton if the reason he's bouncing is over money.

They were better without him, bad seed

I wonder how many more teams will pay Hopkins big not to play. He is the Kawhi Leonard of college basketball.

That's putting it nicely compared to the comments I have read on Friar Talk.

I know over on Friar Talk they bad mouth Kim English, but bluntly put, I think his grade should be an I for incomplete. He has been absolutely screwed over by Hopkins injury last year and him only playing a handful of games this year.

Kim English did a poor job building the team, which likely made Hopkins' decision to sit out a much easier one. It's hard to pass judgement on either of them without knowing exactly what was said or agreed upon, but I can assure you the team wasn't going to be very good with or without him.

Unfortunately, and through no real fault of his own, I think the English/PC marriage was doomed from the start. He's not going to get a real shot because the program isn't in a position to be patient enough to give him one. They're probably not going to be very good again next year and then that will be it.

Sure sounds like one to me
and you have zero idea who is going to get what

These are facts.

If you think it's not going to have an impact, you're dreaming.

Many schools are already getting zippo.

Go ahead and whistle past the graveyard. You will see what happens.

Who is "CoachKnows" and what does the GIF imply? People are staying? People are coming in? More dragon undies in stock?

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.

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.
 
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.

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

The reality is that any remotely high-profile player in the portal has been receiving overtures all season.
Expand ...
They really need to add a rule that any kind of tampering like that eliminates that team from being a transfer destination.

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

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

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
