2023 Portal Transfers

[panda]

Nate Oats sure knows how to pick them:

@JournoRyan
JUST IN: Alabama men's basketball transfer Jaykwon Walton was arrested Saturday night after Tuscaloosa Police found him and two others in a vehicle on Reed Street with marijuana and multiple guns.

How else are you supposed to protect yourself while having a good time ?

Was halfway through posting this earlier and read the account and charges. Weed, barely a misdemeanor, loaded guns without permit (not saying he does or does not have one) legal. So, is it or is it not a big deal? Personally, I find it fascinating that a young person (or even a superstar professional) would potentially risk everything (yeah, I get it, even in the court of public opinion if what they do is legal) and feel the need for a gun. But, as some friends and I were discussing, young, male brains are just not developed.

Driving under the influence... carrying fire arms under the influence...

I'm no lawyer, but i do not believe either are legal...

Oates has no control over that program

[BCHoopster]

That is correct on young male brains.  Think how big of an idiot we all were at that age. 

Back when we all lived til 40-45 yo and there were no police getting a gun at 18 was reasonable.

These days it doesn't make much sense.  Increase the age to carry to 25 when people start having something to lose (children or real jobs) by doing stupid stuff.

That would suck for the US Army.

Ha!  There would be an exception for the armed forces/police.  Maybe 21 yo.  Chain of command/training. Don't be dense.

President Lovell posted a picture saying he hosted the BE champion MUBB team for dinner. Wrightsil was there. OMax, Ellis, and Keeyan were not. I think everyone else was, including Sean in a full arm cast.

Saw someone say he recruits a lot of shooters 😂

Absolutely. Just win baby

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Pet Oates they are no longer recruiting Walton and he will not be on the team next season

[El Guerrero 2]

I heard the young man was just in the wrong place at the wrong time... I can't believe Oates is turning his back on him.

Sounds like a gr8 argument to increase the voting age. I'm in!!

Why does Butler want Posh Alexander so badly?

I don't get it...

Sophomore year stats of 14/5.5/4.4

He's just not good.

He's already showed he's not going to get the job done in the Big East...and he had a lot more help at St. Johns than he's going to have at Butler.

Could have been coaching and/or needing a change of scenery

Posh was fine before Anderson foolishly brought Curabello in last year.

Curbelo shot 6% better than Posh from 3 and 2% better than Posh in total.

Neither are good. I mean, maybe it is an improvement for Butler, but IMO their goals should be higher than just improving from a losing season.

Well, after Posh's freshman year he was named Big East Freshman of the Year and DPOY. The young man has talent. Matta probably thinks he can fix him.

both of them were kinda okay big east players despite neither being able to shoot for the entire season. Posh was the better of the two.

Posh would be a top 4-5 player on that butler roster.

Moore, Davis, Telfort, Posh, the freshman guard who will be okay. 

Bulter problem is and would be the quality of their frontcourt/ Screen is probably the best. But at least they have players. Seton hall doesn't have players and still Georgetown might be the worst of them all

[GoldenEagles03]

Didn't know where to put this, but 242 draft entrants, OMax is the only Marquette player.

Kalkbrenner, Kaluma, Alexander all entered for Creighton.

Thanks for the info.
