Transfer Portal Starting to Load

[BullDawg]

Not for athletes...

but that wasn’t what was being discussed.

Khamenia probably would have started over him at the 3, but still weird. Sounds like he's going to Miami though so he should still get paid very well

That sounds like a bridge too far.

I think you're being a little harsh on RP. LOL

I wonder how this will impact Ahmad Nowell.

Will be checking Tasheed Carr’s Twitter feed to see his thoughts

 

[3rdbass]

Interesting.

 

[Iluvsuebird]

i kind of wish pro sports would follow this model. Everyone a free agent every year. No long term contracts. The chaos would be entertaining

Not sustainable. Pro franchises/leagues are smart.

I know ya’ll hate Duke, but their acceptance rate is less than 5%.

Lots of people in New Jersey- not enough spots.

Weird He didn’t have a very good list for a top 50 player: VCU, Xavier, Iowa, Vandy

Haven't watched Papa Kante play at Pitt and he had low minutes and productivity, but at 6'10 235lbs he would seem like an interesting possible fit as a 3rd center for low dollar outlay. At South Kent I thought we had a dialogue with him. I thought he had potential at the time. Anybody watch him at all this year and have an opinion?

 

[3rdbass]

No surprise.

No surprise.

KD lol that was almost 20 years ago is he the last OAD Barnes has put in the nba?

Thank God Rick Barnes coached KD for a year or maybe he wouldn't have made it to the NBA

Fede Federico just entered portal in the 18th. Great energy/shot blocking 4/5 for Texas Tech. Would be a great fit to what we need

 

[Deleted at users request]

No surprise.

I'm pretty unimpressed with him as a top 5 player. Alijah Arenas should be a better player.

No. He's had 4 in the last 5 years, though 2 were 2nd rounders.

6’11” 215 and quick enough to cover forwards

Wonder what’s going on with TT they’re one of the 10 schools with $10milly in NIL but Williams and Federico are both in the portal. They did land Lejuan Watts as a replacement for Williams.

If Alex leaves gimme Williams as our starting PF. If Alex stays gimme Federiko as our backup 4/5 altho he doesn’t take 3s so is he strictly a 5?

And the plot thickens.

I always felt a tad bit sad whenever the NCAA tournament ended in the past because I knew the college basketball season was not only finished, but we wouldn't hear a peep about college basketball until November or sometimes December.

I know the NIL structure in conjunction with the transfer portal needs some fixing for sure, but it does keep the off season interesting.
