Morbidly curious who will announce first

[qdawgg]

The Russian bot stuff and AI fakes are really cool though.

Wait, it’s a Russian bot site. I thought it was the new p0rn site.

Why would any coach spend 3 or 4 years kissing a HS kids arse when three things out 4 are against you.
1: They stay because they weren't very good.
2: They transfer.
3. They go pro.

4. They are good and they stay.
So, 3 years minimum of sucking up for a 25% chance you get two good seasons out of the kid.
No thanks. It's all about the portal. HS kids either need to be one and done to the pros or the odds are stacked against you.

Disagree

We are more likely to land a 1-2 year stud via HS vs the portal where we have no chance.

End of the day talent still matters.

 

[OCESIP]

The last couple of cycles has SU ending up a net negative when it comes to the portal/NIL era. Realistically, what will it take to become a player that can compete and comfortably make the tournament year in and year out. I can't see what will set us apart from dozens of like programs that will have to scratch and claw to reach that level.This cycle will be telling.

 

[HyattsCuse]

It will likely be Bell. Going to be made public soon.

Is he getting “the talk”? Looking for a bigger role? I can’t see many schools giving big minutes to a 3 and no D guy.

He’s been here 3 years. Seems like he’d benefit the most from playing a bench role like he did this year and getting his degree.

Neither side would benefit from him sticking around.

yet I'd still want his return over JJ

Hope JJ has the same talk as Bell

How did that work for Rutgers?

 

[miamicuse]

We should change the culture. No need to announce portal entrances, assume everyone bound for the portal, announce those who are returning. Set a deadline to commit to return by, once decided, have the NIL sponsors sign a deal with the return player with language in the NIL contract on withdrawal penalty.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

So because Rutgers going to Rutgers your solution for SU is to only get mid level portal talent and squeak into the NCAAT every year?

 

[Red2003]

Thinking more. Doesn't it make sense for Donnie's agents and camp to leak that he wants to go into the portal either way to drive up the NIL price?

That lights the fire under Cuse to up their NIL. I think the worst possible thing that can happen is the Brown situation with a complete blindside where he's giving interviews saying he expects to come back but then is just poof gone cuz we were a half million short.

All we can hope with Donnie is he is open to coming back if we get the money he wants. Worst case is we offer the same money and he still leaves...Like others are saying that's just all on Autry being bad news.

No. Go after elite transfers. If we can get McCord on the football side we can get an elite basketball transfer.

Players announce their entrance to the portal. They'll want to go somewhere they like and get a nice bag, so they probably see a need to announce it to prospective suitors.

Also, setting up your own transfer and NIL bingo card with your own rules and limitations is likely a sure-fired way to get results you deserve.

 

[FloridaCuse]

But don't we need a Fran Brown type coach to be successful?

 

[JKinPhilly]

No. Go after elite transfers. If we can get McCord on the football side we can get an elite basketball transfer.

I doubt Red has any long standing relationships like Fran did with Kyle...not realistic

He did it was JJ

 

[JKinPhilly]

He did it was JJ

the key word was elite

 

[Cusefan0307]

We have money to get players this year. Whether they want to play for this staff is another story.

 

[kcsu]

yet I'd still want his return over JJ

Why?

 

[HRE Otto IV]

For McCord our coach had a relationship with the player which KC is saying we shouldn’t be doing. That actually is an example of putting in the work with HS kids not against it.

There won’t be a bunch of elite portal guys. The pool is shallow. Of those few elite guys we won’t win the bidding war.

The portal isn’t magic.

 

[Madbiker]

Just read on X née Twitter, that Donnie will enter the Portal.

If true, Indicates the inmates know Red isn't up to building a winning team/program. Very bad loss for Cuse. He'll go to a big program with a top coach and turn into a star. He has the talent.

Maybe follow the portal thread that’s already started before making a blind statement.

 

[pearl31]

Why?

Because JJ is horribly inefficient, can't shoot, and can't defend - not the attributes you want from a shooting guard.
I should have stipulated "as long as he's less of a head case" for Bell, because when he's not a head case he is an elite shooter and those are good to have on hand.

It means you believed a guy with 30 followers.

Who did we land that is elite? Thought so.

We have a better chance of landing a guy like Kadary out of HS and finding a way to keep him here vs getting him via the portal as a SR.

Or guys like Malachi, Ennis as one and done vs their equivalent via the portal.
