2021 Transfer Portal

[Pakuni]

That was my thought too. What player would stay under that scenario.

It is like telling your significant other, hey I'm actively looking for a new partner. There are several options I'm super excited about, if any of them are interested in me I'm dumping you in a flash. If that happens, I'll try to hook you up with one of my friends, so like you should totally put all your effort into this relationship as practice, because one way or another you'll likely be dating someone.

Yeah, and for what it's worth, I don't think Shaka is doing this. Certainly stringing kids along for a month and then telling them to scram doesn't seem to fit with him naming relationships as his number one priority.

Frightened off by the arrival of Theo.

I can't get really hung up about "cutting" players when they don't have to sit a year.

What bothers me about it is the posters on this site, who do not care if a player really loves it at MU.
Most of you just seem to be perfectly willing to crap on someone else's dream, because you might get a better player.

[Jockey]

Let's be real about this. Shaka is not going to just walk up to a player and say "you're cut". He's gonna sit down for a heart-to-heart and then do everything possible to get that player to a place where he can be successful.

This is what I believe. SS imo is being as honest as he can be with those at the end of the scholly bench right now.

So you think he's sayin': "Don't believe any of that speculative crap on on Muscoop"?

i know you can't reply since you're onepostdavis, but is this your one post?

Haha I actually started this account in college to pass along info I'd been given by a friend who was student managing at the time, fully intending on making only one post.
But alas I became addicted to Scoop and here I am all these years later.

[onepost]

Even if that means showing loyalty to players?

Absolutely, if he wants those guys around then by all means.

Agree, but we have no idea what really is going on. There has been quite a bit of speculation regarding Greg's eligibility. Garcia's return is the elephant in the room. My guess is that there is, at best, a 50/50 chance he returns to Marquette. I seriously doubt that he goes pro but if he believes a different school would be a better place to showcase his talents, he's gone. There may be behind the scenes exploration for landing places for Akanno and Perez.

Shaka does not impress me as the type of guy who would BS players about where they stand. I get bilsu's remarks about player's dreams but when faced with maybe being at the end of the bench, they may decide to move on.

I'm expecting one more transfer, most likely a big. Shaka cannot simply wait until maybe July for Garcia's decision. Let's not make Shaka the bad guy.

Shaka's job is to win. Otherwise, he'll join Woj baggin' at Pick and Save, hey?

This is correct and why NIL is a no-brainer.  Lift the facade of amateurism and student-athletes.

It checks out. 

Jajuan is committing on Wednesday.  Settle down, Chicken Littles.  So much pessimism on this board.

Good thing you didn't do that in today's age or the gatekeepers would be after you for sharing insider info!

Hahaha thanks for the callback, reading that now is hilarious.
And to think we've come so far where people are no longer pessimistic on this board.....

OK, I have an unhealthy obsession with UT-Martin and the transfer portal. Jonte Coleman from UT Martin has just entered the  transfer portal. That is No. 17

I'm waiting to see their first 2021 transfer in that transfers out, ideally before summer is over.

I still don't understand how you can have more than 13 transfers.  Can walk-ons transfer?  Did Stewart adopt a lot of players?  I haven't googled...and probably should.

Yes,  walk ons can transfer. They go in the portal and everything. Christian Haffner went in the portal a few years ago.

[Spotcheck Billy]

IIRC the badgers just accepted a transfer who will walk on.

Far more likely than herd immunity before summer is over, hey?

[rocky_warrior]

But if they "transfer" I assume it means they're going for a scholarship?  Otherwise, aren't they free to just enroll and walk-on to any team (assuming the team/college will have them).

Or that.  I guess it doesn't make much sense to me, but many things don't

Here's a question I have that you can probably answer. Is a student athlete that intends to transfer required to put their name in the portal or is it just a way to "advertise" their availability to other programs?  Could they just line up their new destination directly with a coach with whom they have a prior relationship and skip the portal?

Vandy's Dylan Disu has entered the Transfer Portal. This was a surprise. Averaged 15 and 9 before injury. Was expected to be an elite SEC Player this upcoming year. He's from suburban Austin, TX. Bryce Drew was able to recruit him to Vandy, and, he was well developed under Jerry Stackhouse.

I was not talking about Shaka. I was talking about posters on this site, who seem not to care if a player gets hurt by losing his membership on the team. Shaka going to do what he is going to do. I just think we should recognize some players may get hurt. We should care about our players.
