Transfer Portal Discussion (outgoing player tracking)

[Stickboy46]

Perhaps addition by subtraction. We can get buy perfectly well with 12 players, although do we know for sure yet what Colby Rogers' eligibility status is?

Not eligible until waiver is approved...so tbd on that

[Stickboy46]

Butch Pierre and Tyson Waterman have four months to find a stud. I wonder if there would be interest in Houston 6'10" PF/C Kiyron Powell, who just entered the transfer portal this week.

Yea. Taylor worded his response as if they might have someone in mind...or maybe I'm reading into it too much.

[BAShocker]

Technically, I still have 1 semester of eligibility. Be happy at 50+ to fill the scholly.

[Stickboy46]

Taylor responded and said he doesn't have an indication that they have someone particular in mind... Just that they may look for someone for a semester transfer

[AZ Shocker]

In that situation I believe it would be an indicator of poor recruiting values and procedures.

Yeah I should've read the fine print with the asterick next to it that said..."See Louisville (Pitino)".

No kid wants to be the 13th man on the roster anymore.

There was never a time in history where anyone, ever, wanted to be the 13th man on a 13 man roster.

Except the #1 walk-on.

I wish him all the best as a starter for Sam Houston State.

Lame. So the NCAA punishes a university by not allowing the university to replace a scholarship player because the player broke a rule and is released by the team??? Wth?

What would happen if 5 players had to be released for breaking a rule? How about 10 players? University wouldn't be able to field a team. So where's the motivation of a university lie? Bury the wrongdoing and look the other way to not have to release players???

They need to allow a replacement player(s) in these situations.

I get your argument, but there are reasons why the rule exists. Namely, to prevent a team from bringing in a player on top of another one.

I think there's some bureaucracy that the NCAA could improve upon, but there is a reason why these rules exist, and the NCAA (as a collection of the schools that make it up) doesn't just go around making rules because they need something to do.

saw the news yesterday/today. I do wonder what the rule was. Unfortunate to say the least.

It's not like we can bring a guy in now anyway. Or that anyone would want to.

Walkons have a different status and funding than they did even a year ago. We have the best four since the Zach Bush and JR Simon years. We can live without one scholarship player for a year.

While I agree with a lot of that... We are technically without 2 until Colby Rogers gets a waiver.

If Rogers can't get a waiver the school needs to review their waiver submission process. Erik Stevenson is on his fourth school and has never been forced to sit out lol.
