2024 Transfer Portal

Eh. Wojo won games here and there. That doesn't mean anything.

[We R Final Four]

Yeah he wasn't all that great at the end of his OSU tenure, and doesn't look like he's getting much traction his second go around at Butler either.  The last deep run he's had in the NCAA was over a decade ago.

Sounds familiar.

It was enough for some MU fans. (See Dodds.) Maybe it's enough for Butler fans.

No idea why.

Matta has a low ceiling at this point in his career and a bottomless floor.  If it's Butler goal to be ok, maybe good a year here and there, he's fine.  The idea he's some master tactician is laughable.  If he were, Butler wouldn't be so inconsistent on the floor.  And they'd be a tournament team.

Butler has to decide if they want to be Creighton and contend for league titles and Final 4's or what they are now.

[The Sultan]

Butler is eventually going to run out of quality coaches from in the Butler family. Maybe they already have.

[tower912]

Expanding on that, how many 'excellent' coaches are actually out there?

[wiscwarrior]

These coaching moves should also shake up the portal a little.

Curious to see how Kentucky fills the Coach Cal seat, that would seem to be a tough one

Current names being floated are Donovan, Drew, Oats, Pearl, Hurley and Pitino. 

I predict it will be Oats.  UK will easily pay for the $18 million buyout at Alabama, and Alabama can hire Wade.  Everyone in the SEC win$.

Jesus told Scott Drew to take the Kentucky job

I don't see Hurley or Pitino going there for completely different reason. Plus it would be a step down from the Big East

UK fans/boosters would never accept it, so its moot, but is it insane to say that if I were an AD anywhere I would rather hire Wade than Oats?

Because Wade is less of a POS than Oats?  Not insane.  But Oats is a way better basketball coach.  You'd be taking a shot on a Final Four coach with Oats, who has won everywhere he's been.  And won quickly.

Trilly saying Oats is out: https://twitter.com/BarstoolUK/status/1777344019820945475

Wade still has 2 years on his no show clause, so he is out to.

[tower912]

If Drew were to say yes, Kentucky would take him.  Same with Oates.   Calipari leaving for Arkansas is a gut punch and Kentucky needs to save face.

[The Sultan]

Oats is making $5 million a year...he gets along great with the athletic director...just made the final four...his wife is from Jackson, Mississippi.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that he isn't interested in UK.

I'm not so sure. I think both sides were kind of ready for this.

[MuggsyB]

It sounds to be Arkansas new this was going to happen weeks ago.  I mean Musselman took them to two E8's, correct?  They essentially forced him out because they felt Calapari was a lock seems plausible.

Then why did they offer the job to Beard?

Typical Scoop.

Full page and a half in the TRANSFER PORTAL thread about COACHING CHANGES, when there is a separate thread for that.

To be fair, that's the transgender thread now

I'm not sure I believe the earlier reports. 

[tower912]

To be fair, no transfer portal news has had more than a tertiary tie to MU.

Exactly.....I posted here because I was curious to see how this affected transfers, Coaching Change post doesn't discuss at all
