SJU Portal Targets

Yes. Coach met with Storr twice. But Wisconsin was already a done deal. We were fighting a rear guard action that did not work. Deal with Wisconsin was negotiated before our season ended.
Dirty that they do that stuff during the season but until the NCAA puts some rules in place (if they even can) there’s no way to stop it.
 
I can't come storr or any portal player looking for nil lay day. With Jenkins glgone he pare well with Wilcher. If it was last year we would be saying "it's been a week and we haven't signed anyone lol"
 
NBA 1st rounders are guaranteed 2 year contracts with team options for 3rd and 4th year. Kobe Brown, the last pick in the 1st round of 2023 draft, signed a deal where he was guaranteed $5M for the first 2 years. Most 2nd rounders get 2-way deals, non-guaranteed at about $500,000 year. Although, they can try to negotiate guaranteed deals. So, if a player is not going to be a 1st rounder, guaranteed NIL $ makes sense.
 
It’s early but when do these guys start pricing themselves out. In a market you’ll always have buyers. What’s the ROI, if you’re going to pay a kid like Storr 7 figures you better be playing a game on Sat/Sun 2nd weekend!
Yup. Paying Storr is a complete waste. Guy was nonexistent in the biggest game of the year.
 
Believe me, I don’t like it when other teams do it. But clearly not the same re. Wusu. He was neither the best player on the team nor was he wanted back.

The old rule where an in conference transfer would have to sit out two years made a lot of sense.
Several Conferences had rules either totally that did not allow for direct inter conference transfers or added an extra year for you to sit out. With the portal, those Conferences eliminated that rule and the Big East was compelled to do the same. The rule was antiquated. Keep the good players in your conference when you can than have them running to another conference and possibly depleting your Conference’s talent pool.

To add, that rule would not be able to be enforced now when all you have to do is go to court. Courts are ruling against the NCAA left and right on any rule that restricts movement of players or their earning potential (free trade as they put it). It is why the NCAA can no longer enforce their two time transfer rule (they tried this year, were taken to court and lost). Restrictions on inter conference transfers would be DOA.

In addition, currently players who declare for the draft and do not withdraw by the deadline, are inelible to return to college. I imagine this will be the next rule to be challenged in court and the NCAA will lose. Adding another layer to the transfer madness.
 
Maybe in the minority but I find the names being bandied about rather pedestrian. Hopefully, there are players we are waiting to come out or working behind the scenes because there is not a game changer amongst them. Omiruyi maybe defensively but he has been on the table since before the season began. To quote (or paraphrase) Colonel Jessup, “tell me you have more”. If not, I would wonder what Abdellmassah has been doing for a year? Certainly no potential Kolek, Spencer, Scheirmann being identified IMO. A 5th year good player from Miami and 2 BE players? Still early but……….
