2022 Portal

Yeah. Can't say I'm thrilled about dealing with him at least twice next yr - he obliterated the zone last yr

We should be better on defense next year so hopefully that will translate.

Sounds like Syracuse native Quincy Ballard is our target.

That's a great fit if they can get him. He's only getting 3-4 min a game...maybe getting 10-12 to come home would be enticing enough.

So there are 358 D1 teams out there and over 1000 players today in the portal. We now have current players who can play at least 5 or some 6 years of college basketball because of Covid. There are of course incoming freshman from high school, junior college transfers, lower division players also attempting to play D1 ball. So there are enough players currently just in the portal to fill almost 3 players for every single D1 team - not counting incoming freshman, junior college transfers etc. Totally unsustainable and there are going to be so many players left out of this insane game of musical chairs.

That's the risk of jumping ship to the portal. With increase freedom of movement comes increased risk of no spot when the music stops. No free lunch.

Oh man, I feel bad for…no I don’t. The university knew he was cheating. The fans knew, everyone knew. I don’t feel bad for the players, they got their money, now they are free to get a second bag or choose a school/coach they actually want to play for.

that they didn't can the slimeball the moment they heard his "strong-ass" phone call - yep they're now getting what they have coming

LSU might be doing like a full swap. Murray St emptied their roster, guessing many follow McMahon to LSU.

Unfortunately, they’ll just get all the best Murray State players along with other top portal candidates. They won’t be that down.

 

[RF2044]

Whoa!

 

[RF2044]

Good

Cheating scum.

 

[sutomcat]

Whoa!

Read this is Keith Jackson’s voice:

Oh Nelly!

 

[Cheriehoop]

I remember watching LSU in the tournament during their loss and when the camera scanned the crowd, parents of LSU players raised signs saying ‘Don’t fire Wade’. Sounds like his players/families weren’t happy about his impending firing.

Maybe tough to beat their deal.

[tptcuse]

Whoa!

I see what you did there.

Why not reach out to KJ Williams ?-Conference player of the year for Murray State last year...in the portal now

 

[Dinkyspond]

Whoa!

2 chances or more to terroize SYR next year

 

[Sherman20]

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer program.

 

[tbonezone]

Did you see our press with great athletes. It was very, very good and brought us from the jaws of defeat many times. JB did not have a pressing team recently, especially this year. That looks like it will change now.

i believe you're referencing the famous TRUNK MONKEY. JB's cornered animal final reflex.

JFC, seton hall is stockpiling guards. What are they gonna play a 5 guard offense? Or are some of the current players gonna follow Willard to Maryland?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[Orangezoo]

Transferred the year before the portal madness and got a waiver i believe. Wonder how this plays out..

 

[dasher]

The only question I have is why haven't we offered this Zion clone? Replace Jimmy with this kid? What are we waiting for?

If Cole comes back, we aren't recruiting any other forward. It's how we kept Benny and therefore, how we got Mintz.
