Nate Kingz in the portal

[TommyA13]

Wow

 

[PauliePeppas]

Not surprising, they cant just wait around for his waiver to be approved

 

[RedtheGOB]

Expected. Surprised this didn’t happen awhile back.

Doesn’t mean gmac can’t keep him if he wants to hold a spot just in case it looks good for an appeal.

If his waiver gets approved, Kingz will be instantly a top 25 portal prospect. Someone is getting a MAJOR pickup. I don't think he fits in the plans with Tobiason and Doty in the fold, as well as Anthony returning, so by the chance it does, I wouldn't expect him to be back.

 

[granthath9]

Disappointing but I highly doubt his waiver gets approved

 

[Orangezoo]

With the upcoming NCAA decision you have to if you are in his situation.

Hes already played five years of college ball Im pretty sure

 

[Bayside44]

Don't think the waiver gets approved. SU doesn't.

 

[granthath9]

Don't think the waiver gets approved. SU doesn't.

Under the new eligibility rules, he wouldn't be included either. Its five years no matter what, including injuries which he had in 23-24 at Oregon State.

i feel like anyone with a brain would take him over any of those guys, no?

Only if he's eligible.

Tobiason is far better. He can actually pull up off the dribble and create pull-up jumpers. Kingz can’t do either.

 

[Blanko97]

well of course, but that wasnt what the comment said

 

[Cusefan69]

Thought I saw it posted here that the waiver was already shot down. Is he appealing?

Maybe he will sue, so the NCAA can fold like a cheap suit

Maybe im sick of the mid-range game from watching JJ waste multiple possessions over and over but I'm not exactly sure in today's game i want a pull up guy. If im not mistaken when ISU was humming offensively they took like zero mid range shots and it worked wonders. They arent efficient shots to take. Nate showed he could get to the basket when they actually passed him the ball. He was a more efficient shooter, albeit not by much. His usage stats were likely hampered by playing for the worst coach in D1

Meh.

 

[Newhouser]

Like him but in my opinion the fan base fondness for him is due more to effort than play. He was a good player for a bad team.

 

[DoctahLexus]

I like Kingz more than I do Tobiason or Doty. Certainly more than Kiyan. Get we can't depend on him being available with the waiver situation but it is a shame that he will likely be replaced by worse players. Feels like there is still technically room for him since he can play the 2 or the 3

 

[rocfan44]

Who knew that his agent was Adrian Autry Jr. There probably was no way in hell he would stay even if he got the waiver.

 

[Cusefan0307]

By the end of the year I thought he was our best player. Hopefully we can find someone who can replicate his efficiency.

Tobiason has higher upside. He needs to cut out the iso jumpers, but otherwise he’s super efficient.

Wait, seriously?

 

[jdubs30]

26 games as a freshman
31 games a sophomore
Missed entire junior due to injury
31 games as a redshirt junior
32 games a senior

His argument is he’s only played 2 years of D1 basketball …..

 

[rrlbees]

Wait, seriously?

yes

 

[OrangeXtreme]

We discussed this in the other Nate Kingz thread. If he doesn’t enter the portal by the 22nd, he’s out of eligibility.

If his waiver gets approved next month, the only way he can continue to play is to enter the portal now.

He can still come back here
