2024-25 Portal

We may have "legit" NIL money, but we will never have $EC NIL money, especially for multiple players when we have to fill out an entire roster.

We'll see over the next few months, but if we strike out on all our top targets (over time) with more and more strikethrus that went elsewhere in the portal targets thread, it will speak for itself.

 

[Melancer46]

Can we just stop with the "was a 4 star, was a top 100 recruit" BS? Once they spend any time in college that all goes out the window and is absolutely meaningless.

I agree and fortunately, it really only applies to one guy that we've reached out to so far.

I had heard from a friend who is very close with contacts across the Mountain West that Syracuse was very involved with Dedan Thomas from the beginning. The rumor is LSU gave him 3 million. Last season LSU had the second worst basketball NIL in the SEC apparently but they have clearly bumped it up.

 

[wiseman3]

Are you confirming that High Point(!!) has legit NIL money?

I wouldnt be suprised by this at all. Their Arena and Campus are incredible

Not surprising.

Unfortunate, but not surprising.

Brian Higgins said Nate Kingz is currently in Syracuse.

It is just a reality that there is $EC money, and then a few other schools will be on that level, and then everyone else it will be just like football.

Danny Sprinkle? Sounds like a medical issue that he needs to see a urologist about.

We played against him in the NCAA tournament one year!

Ohio State Center Aaron Bradshaw Enters Transfer Portal After One Year With Buckeyes

Ohio State center Aaron Bradshaw has entered the transfer portal after one season in Columbus.

Big time athlete, but can't stay on the court due to personal fouls. He fouled out against Michigan in 11 minutes. That's impressive.

Whoa Etan Thomas level

Any relation to Dick Trickle?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Can we have two former UCLA players at the center spot, please?

Alcindor & Walton.

Their ability to raise money is incredible especially considering their size and conference affiliation.

This is cray. LSU’s coach is on the hot seat and hasn’t proven anything. Very weird choice for this kid. I wish we had been able to get involved.

Isn't Red also on the hot seat?

 

[longtimefan]

Isn't Red also on the hot seat?

"Hot seat" is not nearly as big a deal as it was even a few years ago, because every player is now a free agent after every season, ready to move on for whatever reason.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Here’s the best players signed(Kyle included) and best available according to Jonathan Givony.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Brian Higgins said Nate Kingz is currently in Syracuse.

Suzyn Waldman said Roger Clemens is in George Steinbrenner’s box.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

New Interest!

 

[PeteCalvin]

Attention…it’s page 44.

Carry on.

 

[Sherman20]

I guess we can’t feel too bad. Kentucky fans are losing it on twitter, saying Mark Pope is whiffing in the portal and is 0-4 on their major targets. Making gallows jokes about losing Dedan Thomas to LSU where no one can even name who the coach is there. I gotta admit, I can name many P5 head coaches but I had no idea who was coaching LSU.

 

[phil77]

USC is on TV right now if people are interested in watching #1 on there team

 

[Cuse4455]

Claude is less than impressive...

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Stunning

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Lots of smoke that Star Purdue Guard Braden Smith is entering the portal tomorrow.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Damn Louisville is doing well in the portal.
