2024 Portal Madness Thread
-
In NCAA fashion they have changed the grad transfer rule to now have Grad’s fall within the portal window rules. Before Grad Transfers could transfer out at any time after transfer windows closed, no longer the case. Of course they do this with just a week or so left in the current portal window.

Yes Small is likely to visit this weekend it’s looking. Wouldn’t be a replacement for Kugel position wise but would absolutely add value to this team as a combo guard. Dooley has a connection to him.

He is from Oklahoma St right?

So I posted it elsewhere but it wasn’t seen. This is certainly the current face of the portal and it’s disturbing. If Brad Underwood was actively making deals with players while they were currently playing for another team in the same conference he has lowered himself to the dregs of the college hoops world in my view. Of course it begs the question was Bill Self doing the same or did he have the decency to wait til the season was over?

Are there tampering rules around this? Once we destroy the NCAA who is going to do anything about it?

And this is why NIL has screwed up College Athletics— just minor league team. -Dam go buy yourselves a car - -a Hooker - -a blow up doll ,a condo–what the F - - -ever quit screwing with College Basketball.-- The fun , the excitement has ben taken out of the game.
If they are going to have this dam NIl- -then put a cap on how much is the ceiling, no way unproven players should be given this kind of money while still in College, I se players half assing it now, cause they have this ridiculous amount .
NBA screwing with the College game first–now NIL want to f - - - around. In the end, who do you think ends up paying for this NIL - -the fans, you gt these dam schools throwing money out there wazzu to gt some guy for what - -a year ? – the result tickets prices go up-- -Concessions go up-- Parking - – in one way or another this is all connected and the fans who grab their ankles and pay in the end goes up –

Wiscy should have a wealthier alumni/donor base than us, so pony up Badgers!

It really seems like there should be if there isn’t.

Snag Small and add a third new pg to the roster. Not looking to upgrade ball handling/scoring at all.

There are rules against tampering that are practically impossible to enforce. No one is allowed to contact the player so what generally happens is coaches contact a go between. Typically family, a former aau coach, a mentor etc…

If you ain’t playin’ the game today you ain’t going to be winning games tomorrow.
-
@BShark OK, I always thought there was. So when Storr says he had a handshake deal with Illinois in February isn’t that a major violation of the tampering rule?
I think they should reverse the sanctions handed down to us a year ago as what was alleged then was perfectly legal today. Give us our rightful spot at the top of the wins race! Give us our FF banner back for goodness sakes.
-
@dylans look at the box score from our games w/OSU, he’s terrible! We’re talking okie state, right?
-
@wissox feel like there’s a small chance we take the wins leader back this year even without that happening
-
Roflmao , just got through listening to one of my favorite podcasts. ,( Could be wrong ) love that podcast.- -Had me rolling today talking about KT and all this and that , talking about NIL talking about joking like here’s a bag for you, and a bag for you, and a bag for you --& like WAIT don’t cash that check for a couple of weeks yet, we got to move some money around lol. -Telling a player ya well w know we said we would make a deal of 750,000-- ya well it’s actually gonna be more like 600 thousand lol. they crazy lol.
Serious note -seems to think we will hear about Griffin Friday probably, fully think he will be a Jay Hawk, but probably hear something probably Friday
One thing they was saying to, that no doubt KU has got some guys now With Mayo and Storr that can get buckets - -I agree on that for sure. Saying Stor will probably drive Coach nuts, BUT Coach will be so far up Storr a - - , that by the end of the year your going to see a guy totally different. -They were talking and saying Coach knows what he is getting in a player, might be like with a guy like Storr - - -he say to Coach I’m going to shoot 15 time a game - - -Coach be like that’s fine , you better make them – -you don’t make them you better play some D.
They reall brought up some good points today -when they wasn’t iving one anothr the business lol
-
@wissox They would have to prove it. Right now we have… the word of a Michigan State writer and a Wisconsin blog rehashing that? That’s where it gets difficult.

Jaylen Wells in from Washington St. Too talented to not get involved
-
Woogla Poplar in from Miami. Has already reported interest from KU. Another worth going after

@BShark Bill’s pets strike again
Don’t play the best players …rather he plays who he likes
-
@kuballin10 dont feed the trolls, like @BShark, he’s not worth it
-
@kuballin10 dont let him suck you into his black hole of whine
-
@approxinfinity Had a hearty laugh. KU hasn’t got serious with a single 4 type in the portal.
-
Just read from Mike Vernon that we got Griffen! Fantastic
-
Welcome Rylan! Huge pickup. Should have been a Hawk all along. Glad he didn’t get deterred waiting his turn.
Swain said that the staff told Rylan they made a mistake with him out of High School and wanted to make it right this time.
-
You think coach is happy w/Clemence at 4?
-
Brea likely to Uconn
-
I’ll tap the sign again https://x.com/cbb_central/status/1783911696286777498?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

@BeddieKU23 And Liam? Hmmph.

Would have loved him here but it didn’t work out. Perhaps we see him again

Watch he will be a savant there on d. Just watch lol
-

He’s a perfect fit for Hurley’s system. He should thrive there.
-
I’d be floored if Brea replicated his production from last year but he’s a nice piece for them
-
Does UConn have a big man?

Reed from Michigan. Their backup from this yr is a stud too

Oh yea. Forgot about that. No one will replace Clingan. They are losing a ton. I’m interested to see how they do this year.

Will be very interesting. Brea and Liam don’t exactly “slide”.
-
Kadari Richmond. Why not???
-
Makes sense, the efficiency numbers are off the charts and he will be facing a new level of athletes. He’s going to be a good shooter but yeah I don’t think your expecting 49% next year at that volume again.
-
Swain has mentioned an unnamed player could be in play for the 13th spot. He can’t share it yet but it also may be the name in the other thread. It’s not a “flashy name” but “could help down the line”. Stay tuned.
KU is working to figure out the Kugel situation. Both sides want him here.
They will look for another wing if no Kugel. Will be really hard to find anyone as good as Kugel tho

Always read Transfer Rumblings.

Yep. Was just recapping for those not paying as close attention and it’s easy to lose the current pulse of things depending on the day
-
Miles Kelly from Georgia Tech in. Ideal wing.

If KU wasn’t loaded up, I’d say they should take a look there.
-
Thinking if Kugel can’t come in you try… good player
-
@BeddieKU23 Going to be very hard to find someone close to Kugel that will be okay with being the 7th guy I feel.
