Transfer Portal Starting to Load

LOL!! NYC basketball will be just fine with or without Pitino. And he's 72, he isn't sticking around for long. What's going to happen to NYC basketball in 5 years when he's long gone ?
My guess is if his son does well at Xavier he will be the next St. John’s coach. He will still have access to Mike Resople $$$$ for the best transfers money can buy.
 
He will be gone before Karaban makes up his mind. Like any good 4 will be..

Enough with the Karaban deserves the time he wants. He’s starting to hurt the team.
Anyone ignorant enough to not think it hurts is wearing blue glasses.
Any chance he’s delaying announcing anything to gain leverage for NIL negotiations? Ie the less quality PFs in the portal, the more valuable he becomes? He and Hurley are BFFs obviously but business is business.

It's a good conspiracy theory but I don't think Karaban or his family would do that.

We don’t really know what is going on behind the scenes. AK could be going pro and there is someone in the wings. Along with other scenarios. We just don’t know. Chill pill time.
 
I believe the “do not contact” tag is in place because he has already selected Illinois. Illinois moving on from Sarr, so I think this was their next target.
I’d still hit up his agent, which is all do not contact means now. He’d be a great fit and worth kicking the tires on.
 
Didn't UConn recruit him? I think they offered but not sure if he ever visited. Would he come east? The 3 isn't a need but would love to have him in Storrs. If Karaban leaves he plays the 3 and Stewart the 4. The 3 freshmen wings and Ross would not be happy.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Interesting development…

Classless move, no way that Alex and family roll like that.
 
not sure what waiver he can even claim but whatever, these dudes don't want to leave college NIL money behind

How stupid. Just because they sue doesn’t mean they’ll win. the ncaa still needs to justify any additional year of eligibility they approve of.

For oh so many years, the "he should come back" chant was led by homer fans wishing that a kid would give up NBA dollars to come back to __________ university. It's obviously not like that anymore. AK's case is a bit unique. We all watched this season. He's not getting first round $. He surely is getting 7 figures to return. Now, staying can actually have positive monetary implications and I think that is AK's case.

Maybe hard for him to swallow? One thing Dan Hurley and squad are good at is being brutally honest.

IMHO, he's back.
 
Can I get in the portal?

I'd likely need a waiver, as it's been nearly 2 decades since the clock ran out on my standard 4 years of eligibility, but I'm not going to let that stop me from trying.

If a school wants you bad enough they’ll sue :)

Sorry but I have a completely different take on this.

The portal is VERY fluid. Good helpful players are entering every day and will continue to do so. Cam Spencer entered late.

Karaban not announcing leaves flexibility and my guess is he's being a team player. If he announces he's coming back it eliminates UConn from likely being a destination for any top player who has recently entered or will enter in the coming days. If a better fit than Alex is out there or enters than the coaches and Alex may make the decision that he should move on. If the right guy isn't out there, he can come back.

The notion he doesn't know what he's doing or the coaches don't know or that we may lose a guy we want is ludicrous. They are in Warde Manuel mode (monitoring the situation). Unlike Warde, they truly are.
