2024 Transfer Portal

[The Sultan]

Is there a limit an incoming Frosh can be paid under the current system?  For example, do we have any idea how much Cooper Flagg is getting at Duke?  I was just curious.  Ty. 

No. There are no limits.

No idea and its not been published.

Didn't happen when Kansas gave Dickerson 700,000

Dickerson paid his tuition?

[tower912]

No one with that last name played for Kansas last season.   Hunter DICKINSON got a fair amount of coin.


Huh.

[DoctorV]

Any news on Tyrese Hunter?

[Viper]

Exactly. If a guy can't figure that 350,000 - 50,000 in expenses is a better deal than 250,000 and zero expenses we probably can't get his dumb ass into school.

haha. I don't know math...I'm still stuck on free throws no matta.

[GoldenEagles03]

Any news on Tyrese Hunter?

Huh.

[Uncle Rico]

Any news on Tyrese Hunter?

He transferred to Memphis

[tower912]

Really?   Huh.

[TallTitan34]

Any news on Tyrese Hunter?

He transferred to Texas. My sources aren't always up to date though.

[Lennys Tap]

The school can't pay the player. So if some alumni says I can pay $350K for this player, why would the player say I'll take that and hey MU, we're good. I'll pay full tuition and room and board?

Wades

If his next highest offer is 200,000 and a schollie from Xavier why wouldn't he? Just math.

UW strikes out on Brandon Angel (to Oregon) and Frankie Fidler (to MSU).

Damn shame. Daaaaaamn shame.

...and word from behind enemy lines was Tyrese was also a top target. Boom!

If true, that would have been an atrocious fit. Gard seems to have no sense for the types of players he should be targeting. Totally floundering.

agreed.  Buckysfifthquarter posted UW missed on their top three targets, Tyrese Hunter was one of the three. The other two signed with Oregon and Michigan St, respectively

Agree; wondering if he's pandering to the dumb, red masses and just trying to stay in their good graces, as temporarily as it may be

Now, Freitag... him going there I don't like. Hunter would have been funny though

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I am thinking about this type of scenario:

The NIL collective has some available money, perhaps a high six-figure amount.  For fun, let's say it was for a player that they were hoping to return, but who decided to leave for the draft.  In the meantime, they recruited other players to use up all of the available scholarships, but the team could still really use a big.

Now, the team's dream big enters the portal and indicates he would really like to play for your team.  He tells the team that another school has offered him $750K.  You tell him that you don't have any available scholarships, but you can offer him $825K, but he would have to pay his own tuition and room and board.   Why wouldn't a recruit consider that offer?

Yes that could theoretically happen.

Just like Shaka adopting a player to get him free tuition could theoretically happen.

What's a lot more likely in that situation is that the school would recruit the transfer, give him a scholarship, and give someone already on the roster the old heave ho.

No team needs all 13 of its scholarships. Getting around the scholarship limit doesn't provide any meaningful advantage.

This is the thing. Few teams have a rotation that goes more than 7-8 deep. And the ones that do maybe go to 9-10. No one is desperate to find minutes for the 14th man. If a team is telling you to pay your own way, it probably means the same thing it does for the walk-ons; you aren't good enough to get consistent minutes here.

Izzo loves the portal

Listening to 97.3 now, love hearing Mike heller complain and bitch how the badgers "don't have enough NIL money" 😂😂😂

Exactly.  And if you aren't good enough for minutes, you probably aren't getting $750K in your pockets, less room, board, and tuition.

Apparently too many UW-Madison grads are still working at their minimum wage careers.

My main question is why you listen to 97.3.

Seth Trimble withdrawing his name from the portal and staying at UNC.
