2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[panda]

Our old friend Jose Perez entered the Portal today after Steve Masillo was replaced two weeks before the start of the season. Perez was named preseason player of the year for the MAAC. Reportedly 6-7 players could be entering the Portal after the decision.

I can see them struggling to field a team this year if others decide to leave as well.

The most recent article I saw said the entire team could go on the Portal.

Nobody knows why they replaced Masiello now. The speculation is his contract was up, and they couldn't come to an agreement on an extension. If that's the case, what are they thinking?

I can't see that being it. You have months to work out an extension. Gotta be something conduct related to fire him 2 the before the season.

This is from the MC website. It makes no sense. There's got to be something else (maybe pulling an Idoka or Patrick Beilein?)

Said Marianne Reilly, director of athletics for Manhattan College, "We thank Coach Masiello for his service and wish him well. As we look to building successful teams for the future -- and with recruiting season beginning soon and Coach Masiello's  contract ending in April 2023 -- we determined that it was the right time to begin rebuilding from the top down."

Apparently the AD got an extension and he didn't get along with her. He went right to the President and he told him to take a hike.

Entering the portal now doesn't make much sense. They are already using their scholarships for this year so I think they will all just end up skipping this year.

Well I think with the abrupt coaching change the players should get a break.

Transferring at semester as long as they don't suit up this season?

I think Jose turns 30 this year.

Hahah well done.

Has Shaka reached out yet? 😂

For someone only 45 and still at his first HC gig until a few days ago, pretty eventful career for Masiello.  First getting the USF job and then having it yanked cause he didn't graduate from UK like he said, and now this.  Also not very smart to beef with your AD when your employer took you back after you were going to leave for a better job AND lied about your qualifications...especially when you've been thoroughly mediocre for years.

Maybe he hops on the Cross County Pkwy over to New Rochelle and reunites with his mentor Rick?  Maybe gets to be coach in waiting at Iona?

Looks like José Pérez to WV

So apparently he is still enrolled at Manhattan to finish out the semester, will be eligible at WVU in December, and will not be on scholarship. But he has an NIL deal in place.

Jose Perez and Tre Mitchell on the same team is a tire fire.

They might play well, but Bob Huggins might croak having to deal with that headache.

has a waiver been granted? He needs two: multiple time transfer and transferring into another school mid-year.

Well played.

Did you see the game (I cannot remember the opponent) where he got tossed but kept yelling, went into the tunnel but turned around and came back out, still fired up? That was a classic Huggy meltdown.

I don't believe so. They'll argue, "the coaching situation was all effd up, please let him play". 

Seems like a good chance this 24 year old never sees the court.

[Uncle Rico]

Can't wait to see Jose play for the Mountaineers

Next year. The COVID year gets him a sixth year assuming he sits out thus year.

He'll kill it

Perez denied. Zero surprise, despite all the dingbats you'll see crying that this is a crime. Goodman practically crying on Twitter. Lol.
