The transfer portal has become a s-storm.
According to On3 there are 858 players entered the basketball transfer portal.
Only 7.23% have committed.
Reportedly the assistant coaches are in breakneck speed to obtain tapes of players, review the tapes, and contact the players while players are inundated with phone calls from dozens of college coaches which are emboldening the players to make sometimes unrealistic demands.
I blame the feckless NCAA for the situation in college sports for not providing better leadership over the decades in providing shared revenue.
Otis , good points all . And , while I have no idea who those 7.23 percent Transfer players are collectively , I would think many of them would not be on Pitino’s Radar
So our panicking about No commits right now , appears to be , at least , somewhat premature .
Pitino wants a certain type of player that fits his style . I think this year he will not succumb to taking players that don’t fit that style .
Pitino has a track record of getting players that can perform at a high standard as part of a team
I think we can trust him and his staff to do that this season .
We also seemingly have given little or no credit to the HS players coming in , Glover and Lefty .
RP wrapped them up early . Which would seem to suggest they both passed his requirements .
I think you can take it to the Bank that Lefty will be solid in all the fundamentals . Which is why so many European players flourish in the NBA.
Be patient .
