2022 Transfer Portal Thread

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I can’t think of one good reason to give Garcia a waiver. I apologize if this comes off as being insensitive as it’s not my intent but the great majority of people lose their grandparents at some point between their teenage years and their mid twenties. I’ll just call it like it is… he likely left because his role was diminishing at UNC. If there are still persistent family issues, then the NCAA should do him a favor and make him sit so he can spend more time with them. If Garcia is allowed to play, then you might as well just get rid of the waiver rule.

I think he left because he wanted to go back home and figured leaving mid season gave him best chance to get a waiver. He may have had some family stuff going on, but this was always the plan.

His plan did not go over well with his NC teammate’s apparently

[Billy Hoyle]

I'd have no problem getting rid of the waiver rule.

Beyond that, I hope that Dawson's family will get no more bad news, and I wish him success at Minnesota.

I also hope the hole in your heart heals quickly.

Joey bad, Dawson good. Even though Dawson has bailed on two schools, one midway through the season after getting paid. Hmmm….

Couldn’t come up within an immature nickname for Dawson?

100% correct. The best thing that can be said about Garcia is that he made 2 programs much better - by leaving. UNC was a one and done NIT team with him, a national runner up without him. He saw the handwriting on the wall and left. Of course I feel bad for him because his Grandpa died but he didn’t leave until it was clear he was becoming an afterthought for UNC.

He every bit as “soft serve” as Joey, but Mike will never call him out. His vendetta only is directed at one flavor.

[Pakuni]

Why would anyone here direct any invective toward DG? I've been assured that Shaka didn't want him anyway.

By whom?

I'm not going to call out individual posters, some of whom I actually respect. You're welcome to use the search function.

Dawson Garcia did not actively work to undermine a potentially outstanding Marquette season.

But if you boys want to think he’s “bad” and that poor, misunderstood Vanilla Soft Serve was an innocent victim of The Cancer and The Worst Coach Ever, that’s your right.

[4everwarriors]

Well then, I'm exercising my right, aina?

[4everwarriors]

BTW, Nads why are you able to go untouched referring to Joey Hauser in such a racist manner, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

Yes

[Silent Verbal]

I was going to post that clip if you didn’t.  His teammates don’t seem the least bit concerned about him or the fact that he’d left. 

Here’s a question:  Does UNC make the run they did in the tournament with Garcia on the team?  I don’t think so.  Now if that ain’t actively undermining a potentially great season, I don’t know what is.

Garcia was a typical Wojo guy.

What’s a typical Wojo guy?  Was Sacar Anim a typical Wojo guy?  Andrew Rowsey?  Matt Heldt?  Joey Hauser?  Theo John?  Markus Howard?

[Uncle Rico]

One constant with regards to the transfer portal:

The guys you bring in aren’t problems or quitters but the guys that leave usually get that tag.

I have no idea what type of person Garcia is and would not speculate on that. His departure from the program was a non-event in my life because I felt Shaka can run the program, with or without Garcia. I have been disappointed when guys have left the program but never a felt a need to attack them. I have found your need to belittle Joey for a couple of years to be strange behavior and your nickname for him I thought was childish. Actually, it was so childish that it did not pick up steam with other anti Joey guys and that was telling to me.

The difference is that Joey actively worked against the team before he left.

I have no problem with guys leaving over a personal reason or even just because they assume the grass is greener somewhere else. In fact, I support those decisions.

The left fiscally moderate/social liberal ( ) can't be racist, because they aren't racist.

[Shooter McGavin]

You got to love white guys who call out other white guys for being racist to other white guys.  Moderate, Liberal or Conservative every one in this argument comes off as a Jack ass.

What have I ever done to you, bro? I really try to hide my whiteness!

Didn't see this one coming. Tyrese Hunter in the portal:

Although I disagree with those who choose to dump on Dawson Garcia after members of his family died and got seriously ill (that's not you, Goose), I defend their right to do so in this forum.

I view Vanilla Soft Serve with the same "love" that I view his one-time tormentor, Floppy McNutpuncher. Except one could argue that VSS did more damage to the Marquette program.

We all can be childish sometimes. Probably even you.

His teammates don’t seem the least bit concerned about him or the fact that he’d left. 

How "concerned" did the remaining MU players act after VSS and his brother left?

Meanwhile, back in the transfer portal ...

[brewcity77]

Need a whole lot more info and context about that 23% stat.

A bit more info, and clearing up the information I had...Chase Ross shot 37.5% from three in EYBL play. So when playing with and against the best, his shooting was significantly better.
