Transfer Portal

Interesting. So the Tennessee donors backed off, or does SLU have some deep-pocketed ones of its own?
Won't be long till those deep pocketed SLU boosters are DMing Yuri after a five turnover game in a loss to let him know they are stopping payments 😀😃🙂
It’s no longer amateur. Colleges will become the minor leagues system for the pros. The Power conference schools will walk away from the rest of us. Sad times.
pay to play opportunities were available outside of college, that should have been their option.
UMASS has done well in the portal:
Frank Martin coming in hot to the A10 - brining two South Carolina guys, G. THompson from BC and one more p6 guy. Will be very interested to see how he does. I think they could be a force, Martin has shown the ability previously though kind of tailed off at SC. Seems like the A10 could be quite competitive next year with us, Dayton, SLU, Davidson - and some intriguing teams like Umass.

I like us being under the radar. The pressure will not be on us.
These are college athletes and now we having booster openly paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for college players to play at their favorite school. Might as well just create a separate league for the BCS schools to play in if that is the case, because their is no way smaller schools can compete with boosters buying players. So, the schools with the most deep pocketed boosters will now have a huge competitive advantage.
And of course, Miami, is at the forefront.
to be honest, they already have a huge competitive advantage for recruits. yet the little guy can still sometimes beat them. not sure it changes that much.
Seeing now on VC for St Bonny that both P6 transfers and both JC transfers from last year entered the portal. Thought these four would be the 6-9 subs last year going forward but I guess not. Mark has some work to do lol.
sure but he was always going high major with or without an NIL deal. just a question of which one.
Miami ... for whatever involvement they had in the NIL deal ... beat out Tennessee Duke Gonzaga Arizona Purdue Xavier Miami Ohio St NC St Marquette.
so are you against individual college athletes profiting from their NIL?
I don't know how you police it (you can't), but it seems like NIL money shouldn't be used to entice someone to enroll at or transfer to a particular school.
It does include quality. He ranks Quinn at #63 (4 star), Bigelow at #241 (3 star), and Roche at #264 (3 star).
Sal at #511 and Zay at #384...both 3 stars.
Rankings are out of 1,484 in the portal.
Edit: Sorry...the #15 is activity, which I have no idea what that means. But we're #22 in incoming transfer class ranking.

If I had to say yes or no to that question RIGHT NOW, my answer would be no given the rules as they are NOW. The dishonesty and corruption will further deprive college athletics of some of its better qualities.
I don't know the answer but it seems to me that if player wants all the money fine... Hes then a pro and not eligible to play in college. If he wants to stay in college some sharing seems necessary. How, with who, and when I don't know. My thoughts in this regard perhaps are borderline socialistic but give me amateur athletes/athletics any day and take your professional college team somewhere else.

I think it means he made a wrong left turn in Albuquerque, ended up in the portal by accident and now is stuck and can't find a way out.
Osunniyi and Lofton now in the portal. Anybody left in Olean?
Yes, and of the three returnees...all were freshmen, two redshirted, and the third played a grand total of 30 minutes and scored 4 points.
The players that could command this money are already going to Duke, Kentucky, etc.
Damn, thought the bonies could avoid this by keeping Schmidt. Very surprising that the starters are transferring. Could be a rough couple of years
Now we’re going to have the whole Miami team issuing ultimatums for $800,000 NIL deals.
I just threw up in my mouth a little...
There is so much wrong with this. First, wait, current players are allowed to have agents??
Second, schools are not allowed to orchestrate NIL deals, so why is he upset with Miami?
Third, the article says that HIS OWN AGENT is the one who got the $800k deal for the transfer, so why isn't he threatening to find a new agent instead of threatening to leave the school? I bet Larranaga would love to flip him the double bird and tell him sayonara. Maybe this is why Jay Wright retired, after all.
Let's pay the players with booster money, what could go wrong?
Seems like an easy one for Larranaga. "If you don't want to be here, good luck to you elsewhere". He can be replaced. He has been there 3 years and shot 30% from 3 last year. If he were all that, he would be NBA bound instead of worrying about his NIL money in year 4. But, even if he were all that, once someone starts putting stuff about "I need more money" out there, I am ready to move on from them.
Right, my point is why is he taking it out on the school? The school can't set up an NIL deal for him – his agent can. If he wants to be mad at someone, he should be mad at his agent.
Who knew the NIL was actually referring to the colleges…..before too long the colleges will basically have naming rights contracts for teams of pro athletes. The other question is why is this Ruiz guy investing so much money in Miami basketball? I always thought of Miami as a football school, granted that is getting to be a faded memory.
