Transfer Portal Mania

Think i posted this a few weeks ago... been following around a kid still playing but one coach told me the expectation is huge names will enter . Either for purpose of actually moving or on agent advise for leverage to get better nil deal from current school. Negotiating in private prior to entering doesn't put same public pressure on school to pay and retain him. I told a poster/friend on here in a DM recently coaches are apoplectic bc a bunch of kids are spending more time distracted, talking to their agent about their future and NIL situation then they are reading games scouting reports. And I think you're seeing some of it already in a lack of preparation from some of these kids. How it affects St. John… I'm not really certain because their NL situation seems to be pretty competitive. so a lot of the names you're hearing are accurate… A lot of them aren't… And and a lot of these visits, or some of these visits, are getting to know the kids seeing what their price tag is, and then weighing the pros and cons versus future kids, and what that price might be. What I'm hearing is I think St. John's like other schools, and, like the kids are leveraging each other versus each other.

the timing of our two posts, 2 minutes apart. Chef's kiss.

I did not think AJ Storr contributions last night reflect a top flight player. Very one dimensional at best. No movement without ball, no rebounding , no passing, not quick, defense very average. And last night no shot!

Can’t judge a player on one game or even several. Have a friend who forms an opinion in about 2 minutes of watching someone 🤣

My concern is more about relying on one person. This board, including myself, is already willing to hire whoever Repole wants next since he has the NIL money. It's important to diversify our big $$ -- not even from a more money perspective, but from a power and risk management perspective.

But absurdly rich people will always give money to things that won't make them money.

But they usually give to get the tax write off

We watched him all last year. We know what he is. I dont miss him one bit. Nor anyone who left. We were a much better team this year w/o those guys.

Really happy that Matt loves his alma mater, because a lot of these schools are going to realize that if you inserted someone who didn't come with a ton of built-in connections into the role, the NIL director is a stressful nightmare of a job.
