Transfer Portal

I took it to mean he got a tip from Luke Murray but had to bite his tongue and not say anything. Take that to the bank with 20% confidence. ie I don't know either, so on the Boneyard my input is worthy.

 

[MDHuskFan]

I took it as he knows what’s happening with us signing a recruit but can’t say

To know something but respect staff/player enough to not leak it is some A1 journalism by Slater & a great show of respect

Things went from bad to much worse.

I used to think this was a good tweet for us… im starting to question if it was the CFJ farewell one…

Are you suggesting we were supposed to infer that Corey Floyd Jr was transferring from your post that Dan Hurley is like the AD at your daughter's Catholic HS?

You new here? Yes, anything that happens Chief will subsequently claim he informed us all of in some unrelated nonsense he posted beforehand.

I confess I didn't get it. Especially the AD reference as opposed to Principal. I can imagine, having had a kid go K-12 in Catholic school recently, some parallels. We had a choice of two HS and know many kids who went to each. The one she picked ended up being overly strict and nitpicky about so many things. The other one gave the kids a little more freedom and individuality.

It wouldn't surprise me if playing for Dan Hurley is pretty constricting and not a lot of fun. All season I commented on how freaking tight our team seemed. The just weren't loose much of the time, and I think it caused some of the shooting woes, especially among guys like Hawk, but probably Gaff as well. Then the tweet from Slater talked about Hurley finding guys who are mentally tough, and Stacey Castle made related comments.

Third hand, but I heard from a friend with a good source two weeks ago that Hurley might be wearing players out with his over-the-top stuff.

UNC's Dawson Garcia Enters Transfer Portal

Love his game. He's a good player

 

[rip7774]

Love his game. He's a good player

Me too. Really love his game. Skilled 4 man.

Did he get hurt or simply get no run? I def saw that transfer as a tamper but I guess there was a coaching change in retrospect.

 

[AllAbout5]

The thing is, I know our backcourt is the top priority right now, but I feel like we could use a good shooter who plays the wing. Any good options other than Shannon who I doubt we'll get?

Marquette's Justin Lewis declared for draft while maintaining eligibility. Which leaves Shaka in a spot where he's also going to have to look to the portal for a replacement. If Lewis doesn't get drafted, it'll be after the portal deadline, so I'm not sure what that means - does he have to go back to Marquette if he opts to not play G league or overseas? This new world has me confused...

I’ve seen lots of tweets in the past referring to Minnesota as a landing spot for Dawson Garcia. Not sure if there’s actual smoke there or if it’s just because he’s from there. I’m a big fan of his game as well and hope it works out for him at his next destination.

 

[storrsroars]

Do you know the answer to the question?

I do not. I, too, am an unfrozen caveman lawyer.

Garcia left the team to go home halfway through the season. I think there was some sort of family medical issue. My guess is he wants to transfer to a school near his hometown

Says he had some family issues and didn’t return for the second half of the season

How many of the elite coaches in basketball do you think aren't strict? Imagine what a Coach K practice is like? Jay Wright? Musselman? Look at all the HOF coaches in the past. You don't get to that level by running a program that cares more about "fun" than winning. There is a fine line between being over the top strict and taking time to enjoy your successes though, I'll admit that.

 

[UconnU]

They need to reinstate the year sit rule. This is total madness, every kid with any minor gripe is going to transfer. This all highly favors big name teams and big media market teams. You find a diamond in the rough through scouting, he’s gone. You spend a year developing a kid instead of playing him, he’s gone. It’s so frustrating.

Oh for sure. Calhoun was. But there are coaches that let young guys play through mistakes, who encourage guys to shoot out of slumps, and there are coaches who can't handle that very well. So far, Hurley has had too short a leash with several players. None of us knows where the line is for each player and coach. It's on the coach to find that line, every player will react differently to encouragement and criticism. But it wouldn't surprise me if some guys get tired of his act, especially if they don't think his words match his actions. Hurley said he'd have a mutiny if he didn't play the best guys...well, he's got a mutiny of sorts.

Key words there are "his best guys". The first 2 guys left because they weren't good enough to even get on the court. Floyd is still a mystery although with this potential Castle and Young news, maybe not so much anymore. You're right that it does all come down to fit though. Some guys want to have that tough coach that pushes them harder than anyone else. Some guys cant handle that. Everyone knows which side Hurley falls on, it's not like he tries to keep it a secret lol
