Bball Transfer Portal

It’s all about 1. The ability to recruit top talent that will excel at the college level 2. Retain those players as they develop. Rentention is easier when they get playing time AND win. So the winning programs continue to recruit and retain the best players, then win because of it, a cycle year after year that eventually becomes a winning culture. Those that aren’t perennial top programs have to think outside the box a bit more.

 

Johnny Furphy Staying In Draft, Jamir Watkins And Coleman Hawkins Among Withdrawals

 

Though we had some interest in Hawkins.

 

We might not want to spring for the $2.5 million.

 

Yikes. However, I can post date a check if needed.

 

they can dribble it all the way to the bank

 

Ha. For what it's worth, I'm in florida and insurance paid $23,000 for my new roof that was damaged by hail. It's a 2000 sq.ft home and I've been paying homeowner's insurance for 45 years so it's about time I got something out of them!

 

funny how that works; if you have another claim soon, they'll threaten to drop you. You are now on their radar!

 

I made up a system like 10 years ago and I still think its the best system as it requires commitment from both schools and players.
Most athletic scholarships are RENEWABLE 1-year deals wherein the school is only obligated to provide a scholarship for one year. Schools have the option to guarantee whatever length of scholarship they want. They just choose to give themselves the most leeway.
Doesn't seem right to demand a multi-year obligation from a kid, and penalize him/her if they don't live up to it, while not requiring anything similar of the school.
So, my idea is that athletes should incur a penalty of half the remaining time left on their scholarship term with the university, rounded up.
So if somebody is on a 4 year scholarship, leaves after one year, has 3 years they didn't fulfill, then they must sit for 2 years. (Half of 3 = 1.5 rounded up, 2)
But likewise, if somebody is on the majority of scholarships, which are 1 year renewable, they perform the one year, they should be able to transfer without penalty. And nobody has any right to complain. If they wanted a bigger commitment FROM the athlete, they should make a bigger commitment TO the athlete.
If you only committed to the athlete for one year, you shouldn't expect anything more than that in return.

The changes should go both ways, creating a penalty for breaking obligations, but also creating a inversely proportional penalty for a school who fails to commit to its athletes.

Also there should be exceptions obviously to these rules. I.E. penalty free transfers if a head coach leaves, the school incurs a postseason ban, family and medical reasons, etc.

 

Where are we on our Salary cap?

 

They're looking for ANY reason to drop you in Florida.

 

Not technically the transfer portal, but allegedly we're getting a visit from three-star point guard Jeremiah Johnson, who originally signed with Oklahoma State.

 

Is that the same guy who’s in the Jeremiah Johnson thread above?

 

It would be a hell of a coincidence if we were recruiting two different guards named Jeremiah Johnson at the same time.

 

Diebler Announces Additions of Glover and Njegovan to 2024-25 Roster - Ohio State

 

Came to Prove Himself Right - Kansas State University Athletics

 

oh boy, here we go...

 

That article is from a year ago. It’s almost humorous that Glover’s achievements were belittled on these boards because they were accomplished in the Southern Conference, but now we go gaga over Southern Conference recruits. Ques was the best guard in the Southern Conference in his one healthy year there. He will do well at Ohio State if his knee problems are behind him, but that’s a big if.
