2025 Transfer Portal

[The Sultan]

It's always a safe place to sit back and second guess everyone's posts here. Just not a good look

I find it funny and enjoyable.

[Billy Hoyle]

So, what is his market value?  And he is an experienced big.  How much would MU fans pay for him to finish his career at MU?

He has played 5 years.   From what I read  he may petition for an extra season due to the season he left UNC.

I guess Dawson has aged out of his burgeoning boy band career.

These kids who have no NBA payday coming their way are being convinced by agents to go into the Portal in the hopes the NCAA will either A) change the eligibility limit to five years, or B) they get some BS waiver. The College of Charleston kid is petitioning one of his years shouldn't count because of "significant mental stress due to language barriers, cultural adjustments that hindered his development and precluded NIL opportunities available at the Division I level,"...while playing the whole season.

I mean, it's worth a shot right?

Good thing he'll be nearly 2 years removed from the injury. And that his injury isn't even the same body part that Aaron Rodgers's was. And that he's half Aaron's age.

Not like we have to worry anyways with Sean in the portal.

Rodney Rice gets $3 Million from USC...my goodness.

I thought it was funny when everyone was going nuts when Aaron rodgers was throwing a football and was "ahead of schedule."

Many casuals were lauding Aaron rodgers for being "ahead of schedule" while he was throwing a football and moving laterally during pre game very early on in his rehab. There is no correlation to his injury and throwing a football much like there is no correlation to progress seeing Sean move around in pre game warmups 12 months post surgery. The real test is quick lateral movement, start/stop etc.

Please go and watch Enigma. It includes scenes with his medical team, who are basically telling him, he's way too aggressive in his time frame/ goals. These are two completely different things.

[MU82]

Sean is already 15 months into his rehab. There have been videos of him dunking, slashing to the basket, etc, so he certainly doesn't appear to be doing poorly.

Even if it does take 1 1/2 years to get to almost where he was pre-injury, that's mid-July - three months before Marquette Madness. By the start of the season, it will be 22 months. By the start of the conference season, it will be about 2 full years.

I think most here allow that he might not be 100% of what he was when next season starts. But most of us are looking at the success rates of similar situations and are using common sense ... as well as maybe a little optimism instead of Eeyore-ism.

Not a single person "knows" how fully back Sean will be on Nov. 1 - including Sean. All of us are speculating some; some are choosing to include optimism in our educated guesses.

Then there are those who claim that, injury aside, Sean has never shown any "sign" of being good - despite him having played a major role in victories over Kansas, Creighton, UCLA and others. That's a whole 'nother level of negativity for the sake of negativity.

So, is anybody expecting any last minute MU entries into the portal?

What leads you to say that?  You don't believe the NIL organization associated with Kentucky has that kind of money?  You don't believe the USC organization would spend that kind of money?  Or do you think all of the NIL money reports are fiction?

Right?

It is reported that BYU has between $8M and $10M for Dybantsa and Wright. If their whole roster isn't touching Kentucky when 2 guys are making that much, $20M seems plausible.

[GoldenEagles03]

...and also leads me to believe we will not be able to compete for any player that has proven value in the portal. Shaka's way is the way!!

[tower912]

I was directing that at JB, but I agree in principle with your post.

Besides Sean?

Stay tuned.

I know. I was just emphasizing your post.

Other than back up stretch 4, there really isn't. 
Hamilton/Clark/Gold
Parham
Ross/Owens/Lowery/Miletic/Phillips/ Stevens
Jones/Parham/James

Now, you can argue that you do not trust freshmen or that too much growth and development may be required.  But there are lots of bodies at 4 of the 5 positions.

So, two scholarships open and it appears Shaka is pursuing high schoolers.

back from a Rocky ruler-across-the-hands slap. Miss me? Tower, wake up. No holes to fill? A roster of mediocrity and no holes to fill? Swap out the entire dang roster!! No holes to fill? You can't be serious???? Gonna run with returnees and 3star HS boys? Should go well vs StJ's. Talk about absurd. Mediocrity is smacking you upside the noggan. Wake up!

[tower912]

LOL.   Who?

You really should wait until you sober up before posting.........

[bilsu]

Lmao

Honestly kind of sad to watch some of this. Pretty glad our guys all were at peace with their college career ending and didn't try to pull any of this nonsense. If these players want more eligibility, I don't know what entering the portal does or how that makes their case better.

I do not think our three seniors will continue in college, if NCAA approves the 5-year eligibility rule. However, MU has two open scholarships so one or two could decide to return, if the rule was changed.
