Transfer Portal Discussion (outgoing player tracking)

Yep. She just can't help herself...

You forgot the !!!

[ShockerFever]

This whole circus is a little nauseating. Why not just dump all non-P5 players and all P5 non-starters into a pot each season and have a lottery.

It’s a complete joke. Just like Jay effing Bilas.

Interesting …. West Virginia…

Dexter Dennis, great defender. Spotty shooter. Below average handles, no left hand. Super athletic but weak in traffic. Smart, experienced player and good team player. You know what you’re gonna get.

I can’t endorse Dexter going to West Virginia after Huggy’s role in the Teddy Allen debacle. Just can’t.

No left and and he is left handed. Crazy.

My mistake on Bonner being one of their best players. Likely recency bias because he played 32 minutes in the R32 against North Carolina.

I think good basketball players can be found at any level. Grant was a miss, but not one many expected. Taylor Eldridge had him as the player to watch coming into this year.

I don't disagree that players can be found at all levels (though lower levels will have always have great "miss" potential). But I have NO CONFIDENCE that this staff has that capability to judge talent.

The positive fan in you should take a step back as IB has stated he wouldn't feel right running players off. These transfers are all about the guys who were thrilled that he was given the HC job and then have since decided he's not worth playing for.

It isn’t limited to this program or this sport. The whole world is working through some nervous/depressed energy and it’s leading to a world wide game of musical chairs. For basketball teams, employment, housing, relationships…. It’s everyone saying “stuff sucks, I need a change” regardless of whether their current situation actually does suck.

What’s ironic is that Adam Silver of all people actually touched on this fairly eloquently at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference back in 2019 (clip starts at about the 19:35 mark):

That was an incredible listen. Thank You!

If the list of schools being mentioned by both players is true, then they’ll be off-the-bench role players their last year and get a cup of coffee worth of playing time. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. If that’s what they desire, then so be it.

Best of luck to both Dex an Mo. With that said, outside of Dex's defense, I don' think we're losing much.

See Yesufu. Maybe dude thinks it was a good move. He did get a ring, but....

I imagine watching Trey Wade in the Sweet 16 got a lot of wheels turning.

Taylor tweeted some stats about how many teams have multiple players in the portal. Lots of activity there.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

We lose a handful of guys that clearly struggled to play at this level (see what I did there?) or were not good fits for the system, and who most of us criticized for the better part of this season, and this board yells good riddance. We lose two more guys that sure seemed like they had one foot out the door and all of a sudden we have an "exodus" and the sky is falling.

Some of you guys have run out of your medication and you need your prescription refilled.
