Quote from: tower912 on May 02, 2026, 11:27:26 AMIt is entirely possible that he told MU of his intentions only 3 hours before the end of the window to move freely.  That means nothing in relation to what happens now or whether more players come to MU.  Players who put their names in the portal in that window can now make their decisions at their convenience.

Yes this is what happened and the source is top 5 and as inside as it gets.

Quote from: tower912 on April 22, 2026, 05:39:22 AMShaka brought in a guy from the portal to play in front of a youngster anticipating big minutes.

Not that surprising.
In light of the paint touches article, bump.
Fearless and cheerful because it is so much fun.

Money was by far the most significant factor.

If it was role, why didn't he enter the portal much sooner?

He was recruited under the old model. MU brought in a player from the portal to play in front of him as many minutes as he can handle.   (Paraphrasing MU insiders)

And then SLU offered to bring him home for starter money.  How much more straightforward can it be?

Both/and.

Yes, it's completely straightforward that it was primarily money.  If it was role, he would have entered the portal as soon as he was informed that Shaka was recruiting a starting 5.  And he was absolutely aware of that.

Because he was waiting to see if another center would transfer out.
The portal is NOT closed.

I'm not amazed at all. He loves this schtick. I mean.... this is from a guy who started a thread to keep us updated about his Pickleball successes.  ::)
