Transfer Portal

VCU gets another Michigan castoff, this time 6-8 stiff Brandon Johns, who scored 6 ppg.
VCU is not exactly hitting the portal lottery here. I thought VCU was such a basketball "destination" that big time transfers would be beating down there doors, saying I want to play in the mecca of college basketball, "The Siegel Center".

As funny as this is about a week ago when Spiderdad was dropping hints about who we were getting I thought it was this guy based off his 3 point comment. Didnt bother to check one of the years though and was clearly way off. This is why I defer to more experienced scoopers and didnt want to say anything since he was in the portal. Although its never to late....
😀 yeah he wasn’t someone that was ever mentioned to me but I’m not an exp scooper by far 😀🕷🏀
 
Not sure this is the right thread, but have there been any facts or rumors about any super seniors for the Bonnies?
 
Welch and Osunniyi said they are entering draft, but might come back. Adaway said he is going NBA.
 
Adaway is gone...declared for the draft and is giving up his eligibility.

Ossuniyi and Welch also declared, but are maintaining eligibility.

Haven't seen anything on the others. Schmidt is actively working the portal, but they have several spots even if all four super seniors come back.
 
Thanks, saw a rumor that 3 out of 4 had declared their return. Very dubious source and didn't seem correct.
 
I thought anyone in this was declared ineligible, after the fact, by the NCAA...
 
I don't know whether it was accidental or not, but yeah, it's always been that if you participate in that event, you're done.
 
Is Adaway a legit draft candidate?
Probably not. I saw where he mentioned if he doesn't get drafted, he looks forward to impressing in the G league and giving it his best shot. He has already graduated and seems like a really good guy. He praised us and Davidson for the years we had. He has the right attitude, has confidence in himself, and definitely has some talent. I wouldn't count him out, and I wish him the best.

Has there been talk of Carr coming to UR? I watched him play in HS.

Probably should have been some talk but no, unless you count spider23. Here is a previous update that mentioned Davidson & VCU. Hopefully the latter does not have serious traction.

 
This disgusts me and does not bode well for college basketball imo. There has got to be a better way to get ALL college kids money rather than a chosen few. Yecch!
why all? seems very socialistic. the argument for kids getting anything at all beyond a scholarship is that they bring in money to the schools. some have a bigger hand in that. a free market says they should get more.

I don't know how you draw a clear line between legit NIL and pay for play, but it's hard to argue this isn't on the wrong side of wherever that line ends up being. The kids are just free agents available to the highest bidder with no salary cap.

I think there's more to the argument than just that.
