@drgnslayr Cal’s recent comments on the transfer portal were really some of the best I’ve heard. He talked about having the first transfer be allowed with no penalty but then requiring the year to sit after that. You get into a bad situation, the coach lied or left or whatever, then yeah get out and find somewhere better, but after that don’t go chasing money. And his concern was not for himself and as a coach but instead for the players. Talking how if you transfer to four schools in four years you almost assuredly aren’t graduating. And then you have no connection to any university or people who will commit to helping you down the line.

Yes! He's gone all over the sports media on this topic. And he's right about this.
And now we have Baylor!
What do you all think about it? What if we brought in one of these guys right now?
At what price are we willing to pay in pursuit of a trophy?
I like how Cal said he is sticking to his approach of going after high school kids.

Baylor adds 21 year old 7'0 250 lbs center James Nnaji who has played the last five years off and on in the Euro League. Knicks hold his draft rights but he has never the been paid as a pro and his G-League was paid travel and per diem. He is not the only in season player foreign professional player addition as BYU, Dayton and Washington have done likewise. He had never enrolled in college here and is within the 5 year window that equates with his HS graduation he now has 5 years of NCAA eligibility. He's is the only one who had enough ability to have been NBA drafted two years ago. Drew is getting grief but he's not alone.

I’m very unhappy with the fact that I agree with Cal.
-
@HoraceZontal lol I hear ya that's for sure BUT he sure hit it on the head for this , very very solid. I thought dang are we sure this is Cal lol. This is already out of hand need to cut it off at the head before it spreads
-
@Tallturd1 so he’s not signed an nba contract?
-
I don't think these rule suggestions are bad, but the courts seem likely to strike down anything restricting player movement unless there are contracts or it is collectively bargained for and I haven't seen any movement on the NCAA side to put either in place
-
No contract has been offered. Just like an NFL player has to make the final cut before he gets a rookie contract.
-
No one that is drafted in the NBA should be allowed to play college ball even if they were previously an international player.
No one that has decided to play G league ball should be allowed to play college sports.
No one after a certain age, American or international, should be allowed to play college sports. Confirmation of age can be completed by medical specialists that can make an informed decision about a player’s age based upon bone maturation, whether medications have been used to hinder the closure of growth plates, and telomere length among other things that I have not thought of to determine the age of a player. -
You have listed the uniform consensus complaints followed by the NCAA does lack most of these. The NCAA official response is we have been losing every appeal in court. It's like why bother and coaches will keep doing that because winning is job security. The huge college basketball following is driven by fanatical school devotion and the NCAA tourney is the second biggest sporting event every year. The Baylor center was drafted 33rd which is one pick out of the first round. The NBA might be able to help but they generally like less hyped players staying in college because it gives them more time to screen and evaluate them. The draft pick was part of the Timberwolves/Knicks swap of CA Townes for Julius Randle. Both UK guys. Until the money is affecting the brand it's just hand wringing probably.

@drgnslayr Best thing I have read in awhile.
