Message: [QUOTE="50YRsofCuse, post: 5354629, member: 6044"] I personally liked it better when a player transfer to a school for a better opportunity and not for money. I had have better time watching a team of 1st year players learning to be a team than adding several players from the portal with no continuity with one another trying to play together. Please don’t think that I did not enjoy adding a transfer like Mike Gbinije, Wes Johnson or JJ Stallings to a team one at a time to complement the existing team. Pitino’s philosophy is geared toward the big pay day by loading up his team with more experienced transfer players than taking the time to home grow them. It fits in perfectly with the NIL/portal era where money talks and there is no need to nurture young players. Bring in the transfers, pay/play them for a year and then bring in the next bunch of transfers. This is the professional mind set that will kill the enjoyment of watching college basketball. [/QUOTE]
