Jesse Edwards in portal and transfers to WVU

[phil77]

Booooooo

 

[dasher]

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

No. I don't think it is that

 

[hoopsupstate]

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.

There has to be other trips they could take.

 

[Scott11]

No. I don't think it is that

Fwiw I was told the bad news is true

On short notice planning wise? Not sure how long it takes to get it all setup

Nothing is official until Edwards makes things official so lets see what happens. Decisions probably swing back and forth 30 times before a final decision. Hopefully the decision swings back favorable again.

Honestly, I thought it was a stupid choice to begin with. There is just too much danger in that part of the world. Beautiful country. Historic. But just too dangerous for my taste.

I am thinking the same thing. He might have had a fight with his GF yesterday.

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

Other schools seem to have figured out the oversea NIL player loophole. Wonder if Syracuse hasn’t/wont?

That’s just not true. Very safe unless you go to Gaza which nobody does.

You are entitled to your opinion. But rockets have been fired in to that country since I was born. Woman and children murdered just going to the market. A hard pass.

Is it too soon to say that this makes my prophecy that Benny would be our starting 5 next season seem that much more likely?

 

[Cuse1055]

Honestly I hope Jesse does us a favor regardless of his decision and makes it public somewhat soon so we can entice a center from the portal.

 

[rrlbees]

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

1. He somehow gave NIL to Fair to keep our best womens player for a 5th year.

2. Unless he gets a different visa or we do go out of the country, nobody can give him NIL.

I wish he had done this weeks ago. This is ridiculously late.

 

[rrlbees]

As someone, Mike?, suggested, just take a short trip to Canada.

Can't he literally go just over the border to Fort Erie Ontario or Gananoque and get paid?

 

[Cuse181]

I is sad

As mentioned in the Judah thread, the staff needs to operate as if Jesse isn't/wasn't returning. It is what it is. Tear it down for 2023-24 and build it back up for 2024-25.

I think foreign players just can’t get paid to do work. They might be able to get merchandise/ apparel deals?

It‘s college basketball. It should not take 2 years to rebuild.

They did it in what 2015? I can't remember. Or maybe the Ennis year.

Beat me to it. LOL

I have no clue what it takes. Just hear people say it has to be done in a foreign country. Can he sell an Edwards jersey for $1m? Lol.
