The 2023 Official “Jay Bilas No Rules” Transfer Portal Thread

Man, based on the ORU fan forums they REALLY hate us. What's up with that?

Not to mention an insane amount of hate for Mills. You think you'd be more grateful for a coach that made you relevant.

Like Turgeon did here?

[WstateU]

I understand the big time NIL deal (and I hate it) but he would get 20+ shots and 35 min per game here.

Except for a really bad P5 team, where that was a step up will he get that type of exposure?

Who coached that kid anyway? I'm sure it was the assistant coaches who did all the recruiting and in-game coaching.

Some people think like this....

Time to put $$$ into Armchair Strategies!!

Put together a good package for Max!

[Shocker82/85]

Hopefully, Abmas believes that Mills can surround him with better players at WSU than he could at ORU. The American would be a huge step up in competition compared to the Summit especially for his 1 year. I would hope that Armchair has been preparing in the event this opportunity presented itself.

It's about darn time we become somebody else's Arkansas!

Just thinking about that and Denzel Bowles

And wouldn't have to learn a new system.

[AZ Shocker]

It's a natural fit! C'mon Mr. Abmas!!!

[B&Gpassion]

And wouldn't have to learn a new system.

Definitely relevant if he enjoyed Mills’ system, which is reasonable to believe as long as he played for him.

[Shock Top]

Would be interesting to pair him with Grill

[Aargh]

There could be an interesting loophole in the recruiting rules. There's a former ORU assistant who is expected to follow Mills to WSU. If that asst. coach is no longer employed at ORU and is not yet employed at WSU, there are no recruiting rules that apply to him. I think that's called the "Bob Huggins Rules Exemption" from when he was unemployed before he was hired at KSU/

[MadDog]

My Tulsa source who follows ORU tells me Abmas is very religious kid and likes Mills but fears he could be influenced by a large NIL.

Could this be a reason no assistant coaches have been "hired" yet?

I wonder what the goal of these dead periods are? Like why did they decide these needed to be in place where they stop in person visits for random periods.

For instance this dead period is for teams in the tournaments so that the teams who get eliminated early or turn down post season bids can’t get a head start on players. Like a Kentucky could turn an NIT bid to host recruits or Purdue losing early could let them bring people in before others have the time to assess them. Others are just for coaches to have a break. They need some time off too
