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

[Stickboy46]

I remember when the person posted that and I asked where it was posted to get the full context of the reply and never got a response. So I'm not sure it was even a social media post. It could have been a private message he sent to the person after something they said to him.

But if it was a social media post, if someone wouldn't mind posting where it's located online I wouldn't mind seeing it and get the context of his reply. And not the post and screenshot on Shockernet, but the actual post on twitter, facebook, instagram, etc. Thanks.

It was posted on his "story" on instagram, so after 24 hours its no longer there but was definitely publicly posted.

I'll call it right now. JW will wind up at St. Johns with Rick Pitino.

Or Illinois State ?

Sir, this is ShockerNet.

We don’t actually discuss what the thread is about here.

That's EVERY sports forum.

Joseph Yesufu back in the portal.

Washington State

Yesufu is a chucker

I wonder what he did to draw attention to himself in Alabama.

LOL, I am assuming that is sarcasm!

KSU landing Perry which might help us with Abmas

KSU landing Perry which might help us with Abmas

Perry and Abmas have both been ball-dominant PGs throughout their college careers. They're both talented enough to play off-ball, but I would suspect neither want to do that for their final year. In terms of NIL, I'd be curious to know if KSU even has the funds for both.

I’m getting ‘crystal balls’ waiting for the madness to end…

The rumors from KSU insiders is that KSU couldn't match WSU's NIL offer

Is this true or sarcasm? I can't even tell anymore.

I'm nervous we still haven't heard anything about an official visit...

Well it's a rumor, but its from Kstate guys not WSU guys. Was linked earlier in this thread. Said WSU offered something KSU couldn't match and Texas might not want to match.

From a conceptual standpoint, our NIL goes 99% to basketball. KSU and UT will direct 90%+ to football most likely, so even if they have larger overall collectives, we theoretically should have more to spend on MBB which is a much smaller number of players.

Edit:
This is the quote from the KSU 247 guy.

After believing it was down to just K-State and Texas for Max Abmas, I'm told Wichita State is back in the picture once again.

In all honesty, this recruitment might come down to how much the Oral Roberts transfer values a NIL package. The Shockers have money that K-State perhaps can't match and that Texas perhaps won't match. Add in the fact that his former head coach Paul Mills just got a job at WSU, I think it's safe to say a reunion for Abmas can't be ruled out of the equation.

All that being said, there is some good news with Abmas.

There's word on the street of a meeting between the K-State staff and Abmas for 'one final pitch'. Obviously, this can only help the Cats but it shows that there's still some work to do.

More bad news though — I'm hearing Abmas has a visit lined up with Wichita State within the next few days.

After believing it was a coin flip between the Wildcats and Longhorns, it seems to be a one-third shot right now with Abmas.

I really hate that this is what recruiting has turned into. With that said, if it's true that we got the kid a BAG, it shows that Saal and Mills are doing a good job getting the donors engaged again.

I love, love this. For the first time ever we can compete without being put on probation for 10 years.
