2023 Portal Transfers

[The Equalizer]

I can assure you there is no scenario where a healthy Kam Jones sees a decreased role and I'm sure he knows that.

Chase Ross will get the full reigns only when Kam decides to leave for professional opportunities.  Chase is significantly more likely to take minutes from Stevie.

So you're saying you were wrong to suggest Chase is equal to if not better than Kam?

[GoldenEagles03]

So you're saying you were wrong to suggest Chase is equal to if not better than Kam?

I didn't suggest that.

I said that Shaka could get Ross up to par or better than where Kam is at right now.

If Kam is here, he is the #1 scoring option and best offensive player at all times.

[BCHoopster]

If he does leave it gives Norman a chance to start.  Or Lowery more importunity to see the court

[Tyler COLEk]

This bit about Kam leaving is bar none the dumbest non-rumor to gain traction on the scoop this offseason.

[TallTitan34]

Speaking of UNC cash. . .  anyone know if Dawson got close to the $1M they told him he could make?

Have to believe his Jimmy Famous Seafood and local hotel deals didn't add up to $1M.

Don't worry, it's still really early.  Scoop is just getting started.

There is some kid in his parents basement in Omaha laughing his ass off right now.

Wait you mean the moron who quote tweeted a guy with two followers isn't sure of the validity of the tweet?

"It's so bad in the portal right now. I had a coach call me and say that some of his best head coaching friends are actively trying to recruit players on his roster away to their teams behind his back. That's how bad it is" - @GoodmanHoops

Boo-hoo.

It's always something. Stop whining, and earn your 8-figure  salary by adjusting to the times.

Or quit. There's no transfer portal for you to worry about if you're coaching public high school ball.

North Carolina transfer Caleb Love has committed to Michigan, per his Twitter page.

Apparently he didn't like seeing all the UNC shots this year be Bacot jump hooks.

[wadesworld]

I didn't suggest that.

If Shaka could make Chase just as good or better than Kam, then why doesn't Shaka do that?

[Viper]

If Shaka could make Chase just as good or better than Kam, then why doesn't Shaka do that?

Shaka will. Shaka will turn Oso into Kevin Garnett, and Ben Gold into Larry Bird.  It's all about timing, Shaka's timing, perfect timing.

[PGsHeroes32]

I don't think it's just cash.

Considering that Chase Ross is already being viewed here by some as someone who would be just as good if not better with increased minutes, Kam could very well be feeling the heat behind him and concerned about a reduced role going forward. 

And that's before you consider what Lowry and Norman bring to the table.

In any event, I don't think he's going to get "as many minutes as he can play" since he probably wants to play more than the 30 mpg he's getting now.  Given Chase's development and the fact we're adding two talented guards to the roster, It seems almost a certainty that he'll see fewer minutes next season.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this board

[Jay Bee]

Love %shots... 28.4%
Bacot... 23.2% (although he went to the line a ton)

3 years of Love throwing up a crazy amount of shots while sucking at shooting. He wants a new start because he's been a big disappointment relative to expectations.

Or his NIL dried up in Chapel Hill.

No loot if u can't shoot

No cash inbound if you can't rebound.

No Draft night if you can't stay upright.

Ha, you actually got to chuckle at this one

[GoldenEagles03]

If Shaka could make Chase just as good or better than Kam, then why doesn't Shaka do that?

Because he has Kam available to him and Kam is better and can still develop even more.

Not that hard to understand. If Kam is here, he can develop even more to help this team.  If he is gone then he can't. Pretty simple concepts.

[The Equalizer]

Sure, Kam can develop.  Nobody said otherwise.

But you specifically said Chase can develop to be as good as or better than Kam. Usually the better player wins the starting role and the majority of the minutes. Pretty simple concept.

It sounds like you're now trying to argue that because Kam will continue to develop, Chase will never catch up--exactly the opposite of what you previously said.

It's actually not what he said. He said if Kam were to leave he's confident Chase could be developed to get to that level.

Doesn't that explicitly mean that Kam is the better player now?

[The Equalizer]

I'm questioning the "if" in the statement.  I don't see why Chase's ceiling has anything to do with whether or not Kam remains on the roster. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Hearing that UW is confident in getting a commitment from Marcus Domask.

Averaged 17/6/4 at Southern Illinois and is a good shooter at 6'7".

Scheduled visit with the Illini this weekend and probably UW next.
