2024 Transfer Portal

[Viper]

Gambling is a major reason.

100% Muggsy. More sportsbooks, easier, legal access.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Wisconsin crying poor is a load of crap.  Truth is, if Hepburn does have a stupid deal available, I'd let him walk, too.  Guy ain't exactly a difference maker and wouldn't surprise me if they found someone better.

Oh, for sure.  They're crying poor to trying to cope.

As for replacing Hepburn, we'll see if they get someone.  Hepburn's by no means a star, as we saw his sophomore year, but he's at least a proven high major starting PG.

Have you watched their other commit? Robison?

What's the story on him?

Buddy Holly is not the aircraft carrier we need.

(Seriously, do not get my hopes up like this.)

[wadesworld]

So we didn't get Maxi because we're getting Jonas?

[BrewCity83]

I can think of a team 70 miles to the west that's Come Undone.

Only in dreams

Eric the Red doesn't know squat.  I think a good chunk of Badger fans have realized he just posts these things to defend UW-Madison in all they do

loves the white transfer portal players

[Spotcheck Billy]

My BADger co-workers are saying that UW-Madison doesn't have the money, that's why they're losing all these guys.  LOL.

According to buckyville their NIL budget for BB is $2.5M

Who loves that album?  Aidoooooooooooooo

[Nutty]

Here's the thing though.  If UW goes out and gets a couple of really good guys in the portal I'm sure interest will perk back up.  What has to happen is that UW needs to play the game.  If they don't, they'll be left behind... and not only in basketball.

They are playing the game.  This isn't 5 years ago or 10 years ago.  All coaches know and understand it and sign up for it.  UW brought in Storr and Klesmit, and no doubt paid well to do so.  Illinois throws money around like they're drunk at a strip club.  UW will bring in other transfers.  They'll lose others.  Same with every program.  Winning covers up a lot of the negativity regarding the sport.  For some of us, though, winning is lipstick on an increasingly foul pig.  I probably won't pay the slightest bit of attention to hoops next season until March.  And then I'll sit down and realize I don't know a single player on any of these teams anymore. 

If Hepburn left Wisconsin for more money than Wisconsin was willing to pay (or able to, but probably more willing), good for him.  There is way more that goes into roster building now than just paying guys.  If you paid Hepburn $800K, then 12 other guys on the roster come back to you with their hands out asking for a raise.  Schools that have been paying under the table for years have quite the head start in roster management in this realm.

Am I nutty to think that Chicos has returned?

No.  Or maybe, but then I'm nutty too.

Marquette has reached out to Tyran Cook of VMI.

Waukesha native.

6'2" Freshman

[Lennys Tap]

I'd take him over Steven Ashworth.  And certainly over guys like Francisco Farabello.

Over Farabello? Yes. Over Ashworth? No.
