Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[Orangezoo]

So my assumption is AW is the “source with direct knowledge.”

I sure hope we don't end up in scramble mode... and not just in terms of players...

 

[rrlbees]

Sorry for my language but this blows.

Honestly that's better than where my mind went. My mind went to, "all of our NIL money backed out." Maybe we go all in on Hunter Dickinson now and Straughn closes him before the draft, enticing Mintz to stay.

Hunter got a visit to Kentucky. He is looking at G -town. His home town. Our chances can't be all that good with him.

 

[Orangezoo]

Sorry for my language but this blows.

Yep..

Okay so is the concern that Mintz won’t come back or something bigger such as issues with NIL? Because I have heard that we have some major NIL supporters who remain under the radar.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If true, we have a starting spot at the 5 to sell

There are some good bigs in the portal.

On the staff to make it happen.

And Maryland just hired his HS coach…

 

[Cusefan0307]

Well we better be on the phone with more than Chance Westry.

 

[dasher]

Just what we need; a Dash's source vs Neil's source steel cage death match.

My source is not answering the phone.

Don't worry. we got Bell back

I don't know anything, but I suspect that it's more that it creates a question mark on the roster for Mintz to consider as part of his decision making ... if we don't snag a good player quickly.

William Patterson step right up

Don’t you have his beeper #?

[kcsu]

Its too bad the admin got their underwear in a bunch over the one guy who could help SU hang

 

[dasher]

Honestly, this guy always takes my calls.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

It's just impossible to feel even 5 seconds of hope with this team before something bad happens. I dont want to get into the whole "let kids make their own decisions argument."

I'm really disappointed at the timing of this.

 

[hoopsupstate]

The only center in the portal close to Jesse’s ability is Hunter Dickinson. There’s no one else even close. Red better find someone quick because season ticket renewals are due May 1. No Jesse or no Judah means a lot less renewals. Red will need a big splash to creat interest.

He’s not the only person. He’s just the one you hear and see the most of. I’ve heard there are multiple other people with just as much who prefer to be under the radar.

Adam couldn’t directly impact Jesse. It may be the workaround overseas trip concept went south.

 

[dasher]

Okay, lets not fly off the handle just yet. 11 days ago, I was told that Jesse is coming back. This from someone in a position to know for certain. It did bother me that nothing was said last week. But the ass't coach hiring was slow to report so I let it go. We still don't know what we don't know.

I thought that as well.

 

[Cusesky8214]

This sucks if true. We better hit the portal hard if he's gone and I worry that mintz is out as well (just my opinion) and current roster will not be looking too hot if that's the case. Lots of time to get it done so I'm not in panic mode but still a little concerning. Also hope the AW stuff doesn't hurt us with NIL and whoever the behind the scenes donors r have some deep pockets like AW. Gotta pay to play in this new era of basketball!

 

[Jake]

Honestly, this guy always takes my calls.

Lol. So you think he’s avoiding you because he’s got bad news?

 

[Orangezoo]

I thought that as well.

One thing I wondered was if the Israel trip would be called off because of what's going on over there... far prefer that to be the issue than something else.
