Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Chris Rock famously said in one of his stand up routines that men are only as faithful as their options. Never is that more true than as it relates to the portal.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Jersey I think at this point you can pencil in SLU for Top 4 contender. Just with Avila, Swopes and Jimmerson alone. That is a very good core group for this league. Besides them everyone else's roster is still too influx to make a call.

Remains to be seen if it was an upgrade or downgrade but it was clear that at least 1 was going to go portaling from current back court after adding 2. My preference would have been Ways, but my #2 would be Luis. Too much of a tweener and we have better options at the 2 and 3 spot.

It’s much more Portal and unlimited player movement than NIL. The kids deserve to be paid but the source of the funds ultimately shouldn't be coming primarily from fans. That isn’t killing interest. But the movement will eventually.
