2024 Edition-Bilas “Let them transfer at Halftime to the opposing team” Portal Update

[rjl]

Memphis must have one hell of a strip club they take these kids to.

The first 3 to 4 years of Penny's tenure... sure. I get it.

But now? How can anyone want to go there? Legit teams were supposedly after him, and he chooses Memphis? The team that's been absolutely wasting talent for the last 7 years?

[Shock Top]

I would NEVER do a handshake line with any team again, especially a conference team and especially Memphis.

No more free chances to recruit players away while they are wearing another uniform still.

I know it’s the Wild West now, but inter conference transfers needs to stop or be limited to number of scholarships.

Certian schools shouldn’t just be able to sit back, relax, and wait for other schools in their conference to find/develop talent and be able to recruit them away so easily with false promises and an easy pay day.

Eh. I get what you are saying, but there are more discreet ways to tamper than that. You can drop DMs on social media. You can send messages through high school/AAU coaches.

If you want to cheat bad enough, you’ll find a way.

I agree, but it’s more a matter of principle to me know.

No reason for a gentlemanly gesture in a world where there are none.

So he schedules Zoom meetings with NCAA Tournament programs, then cancels them to choose Memphis? He obviously doesn't care much about playing in the tournament. Just chasing the $$$.

Yeah, not impressed. Says a lot about Colby Jones.

He is perfect for Memphis. And they still won't make the tourney next year.

Assume he received a "No thanks" from each of the three zoom calls. Penny was 4th choice.

Dead. To. Me.

HCPM just needs to tell Penny "don't". That's will stop the shenanigans I'm sure.

Lol…I see what you did there. Nice.

Penny said he was recruiting with for D for this coming Season after the Shocks put them out of commission. Really?

This I do know. If we sign either McBride or Hill, the Shockers will be setting much better and deeper easily than last Season in the Guard Dept. IMO.

[Shocker Mama]

Are. You. ****ing. Kidding. Me???

I said to my husband, “ I didn’t even know that Colby Rogers has a criminal record.”

[Shocker Mama]

Isn’t Penny’s own kid in the portal? If he can’t keep his son happy, what can a non-relative have to look forward to?

[shockerfan]

He doesnt......yet..... lol

How about we initiate that line and win it. We run, we hide, we keep losing.
I'm not sure how Hardaway keeps underachieving. But you need to look at those that chtose to go that way. Maybe it's addition by subtraction.
Memphis, as a town has some problems. Don't join them, beat them.
