But, and I'm not advocating, they don't have to renew scholarships for anyone, portal or no.

Hurts recruiting if scholarships are cut. Aside from power 5 there is no such thing as a four year scholarship. Every year scholarship has to be renewed yearly. However if a school gets a reputation of not renewing scholarships it hurts recruiting down the line
Which means waiting to learn who new coach is and what he has in mind for the individual members of the team enhances the deceision. There is no need to rush as it will not change the ability to transfer.
But how often does a players scholarship not get renewed?

Very rarely. Extremely rarely unless some sort of discipline

injury or poor performance generally are not criteria to not renew a scholarship. Think about it. If your scholarship could be not renewed for poor performance that pressure would force players into trying too hard/hero ball. Plus no recruit will want to go to a school in which their scholarship could potentially not be renewed if they have a poor first season
Not officially renewed but coaches can and do suggest or urge a player to look elsewhere.
I'm on the fence about Pitino taking players from Iona who plan on leaving anyway. For starters, from what everyone is saying there are only a couple of players who would contribute at this level. So the idea that he would "raid" Iona is a bit of an exaggeration. And isn't one of the main reasons that kids are now permitted to transfer(without sitting out) is because of situations just like this? If a kid wants to follow his coach to a new school, are you going to tell the kid that he can't? I don't like the idea of Pitino poaching Iona, just not sure how he says no to a kid who wants to be coached by Rick, and who has the talent to play at this level.Don’t want to open up the “raiding Iona” discussion again but I think Rick might already have one. I know it’s the MAAC, but physically he’s not a maac player. And if Soriano were to be here with him, he wouldn’t have to hold down a BE front court alone.

Exactly, you don’t. It’s about the kids right

Obviously, whatever Rick says goes, if we're lucky enough to get him; but Yaxel Lendeborg seems more 'prospect' than 'suspect'. at this point. Again, if Rick wants Nelly than Nelly it is, but Walter Clayton Jr., would seem to fill a greater need for his scoring ability imho.

I think the new coach here will have a long heart to heart with Traore. Not a fan of him leaving, but won't be shocked if it happens. I just don't want to be three strikes and we're out with LuHi. And I think Traore's probably way more advanced than Keita at the moment as well, so those two for sure stand out to me as guys who may be getting "the talk."

I hope so. He complained about lack of coaching. He'd now get it from one of the best to ever do it.
I want to say everyone should get a clean slate, but not sure that's in best interests of program if it really means everyone.
I'm actually curious to see what King will do. He can clearly play at this level, though might not be good enough to get starters minutes.

If the goal is a deep run in the NCAA tournament we shouldn't be raiding Iona.

But what if they have a deep run in them?

A few weeks ago, I thought he'd be 100 percent gone. Bringing in a big name coach may influence some thought processes for sure.
