2024 Transfer Portal

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

What's noteworthy is players are being bought.

Why is that noteworthy?

they were getting paid all throughout early 80s pre SMU death penalty. They just gave out smaller benefits so they went unnoticed.

Every reply you make to defend your comment is odder than the next.

Players have already been being bought. Whether Davis chose Ole Miss or not. He himself would have been "bought" whereever he went.

Actually, based off your gripe its actually more positive that a player of Davis caliber only ended up at Ole Miss.

Absolutely bonkers to be upset about a program that didnt even make the tourney last year getting a solid player instead of one of the usual more threatening teams.

Good! Hope he is being compensated well.

[tower912]

Rented.

[Its DJOver]

Yea, I'm definitely anti-slavery.  You shouldn't be able to just go out there and buy a person.

You and others are wasting your time by replying rationally.

[tower912]

No one ever wastes their time replying rationally.  Even if the recipient/audience is inherently irrational, doing the right thing is its own reward.

I stand corrected. Especially after taking "inherently irrational" into account.

John Wooden was paying players.  It didn't start in the 80s.

Plus scumbag men have been beating the crap out of women for ... well forever, so nothing new here. Ole'Miss is just steeped in tradition.

I recently read that Davis has a kid. Can't blame the guy for going to the highest bidder.

Where did you see this?

Just the rumor making its rounds. Same thing happened last year so could be nothing, but heard it from more than one Badger friend.

Here is something a little more fancy for anyone interested.  Sortable by stats, etc.

I saw that Eric Dixon played in Portsmouth yesterday. That used to be an event that only players who had used all their eligibility could play in. I had read that he was going to explore the draft process but retain his eligibility. I didn't think players could do that and still play in Portsmouth.  I realize things have changed drastically the last few years, but is that still the case?

I think that was just a choice/policy by the PTI — "only seniors in good academic standings".

That's still their policy.. so becomes a question of what do THEY define as a senior.

Their acceptance form this year specifically called out "Seniors who have one year of eligibility remaining due to the fall 2020 Covid year decision"... and warns that playing may adversely impact their ability to return to competition in college

Prob a good indication he gowne

What happens there that would impact their ability to participate in college ball? Are they compensated somehow?

Gabriel Hepburn to Michigan State is the rumor.  https://twitter.com/barryisthedon/status/1780994277616587248

Izzo using the portal?  Watching an entire season of erratic shooting changes a man.

LOL. He apparently is using the portal now.  Could be Fidler also - who Gard is also targeting. Either way, it hurts  Bucky and I am just fine with this outcome.

I think this is it.  He was originally going to announce this past Monday, with Madison as the perceived leader.  Visited MSU last weekend, and then delayed his announcement to tbd.  I have no idea where he'll go, but apparently the MSU visit went well enough for him to reconsider things.
