Posts That Exited the SJU Portal Thred

But the portal doesn't close for another 2 weeks, there will be a ton more kids who go into / get pulled into the portal.

Totally agree. There will be more pulling than an Asian massage parlor. Not that I’ve been to one I’m just going by what LJSA tells me

Portal closes next Tuesday for new entrants. 7 days left.

I need a breakdown of hours and mins left

I was happily minding my own business and catching up on today's posts, and then I come across this.

Agree. He’s not a pg

The times I have seen him he was careless with the ball.

#megaStall is wearing us “non insiders” out.

We signed the nerdy asshole Oliver with the accent from hbo apparently

That's not John Oliver, who is hilarious and also brilliant by the way, but Ben Stein, who is similar but diametrically opposed in his political views.

The way you guys all want immediate gratification makes me think you are all a lot younger than I know you are.

I like to think these guys have smart people around them. And if they are smart it’s not hard to put together some of the same plaything time question marks we see That would come in to play if the “other” rumored guys are to join.

Sellers has been rumored as likely for a while. I think it would be silly to assume that him knowing Mitchell and Jackson may be coming doesn’t change his equation. Mitchell could be promised a starting role in every major conference. I think there’s a good chance he’d start here too but it’s not clear. And he hears Jackson might come and we are looking for a PG? We know zuby and Hopkins are starting, so there’s only so many other combinations.

Jackson’s probably the one guy who has to worry the least about what happens around him. But that means he can also be the most patient lol. So many layers to this for both the players and our staff. We’re gonna get guys no question there.

I would be shocked if Sanon is not starting

I would be shocked if Sanon is not starting

So that’s just more reason to understand why this is not easy. If we add the three guys who visited this week, I’d be shocked if Sanon is starting.

Not saying I disagree with you and this certainly doesn’t include 79 but don’t assume everyone has smart people around them because I work in finance and trust very few

Why wouldn't you employ leverage in a negotiating situation? Assuming you actually have any leverage, it would be malpractice not to use it on behalf of your client.

1) Not sure how the best remaining pg in a market desperate for them wouldn't have leverage...so why assume we don't have it?
2) Malpractice? How's that working for Nico? Im sure its hard for you to imagine but there are some kids, some families who finding the right situation and putting that young person in a situation to succeed on the court and in life is more important than every last dollar. Do you know this kid? His family? That we haven't already negotiated beyond any dollar amount they would have expected already?
